Abstract
The study of “The Generation of Humor in the Abang Dance, a Choreographed Piece from the Suan Sunandha Cabaret Series" seeks to investigates the methodologies and tactics employed to elicit humor in this presentation. The study, framed as a creative research project, integrates principles and theories of dance choreography with actual executions to analyze and use the collected data, culminating in the creation of a dance performance.
The findings indicate that humor in the Abang Dance, integral to the choreography of Suan Sunandha Cabaret, utilizes several approaches, like exaggeration, satire, symbolism, surprise, parody, and direct narration. These tactics serve to engage the audience, namely by showcasing the distinctive traits of the "Abang Peanut Vendor," a genuine individual linked to Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. These tactics establish a strong bond between the performers and the audience, particularly among those who share cultural experiences. This research significantly contributes to the advancement of performing arts, notably humor production and communication, effectively engaging varied target audiences.
