The two earlier conferences were held in Colombo (Sri Lanka) and Bhubaneshwar (India). LLS 2016 was the outcome of the efforts of International Conference for Research and Development (ICRD, Sri Lanka), the Department of communication Studies, Ithaca College (USA), Jagadguru Kriplau University (India) and Unique Conferences (Canada). Judging from the wide participation (as many as 70 participants), countries represented (32 in number) and the quality of the papers presented, LLS 2016 was a huge success. The proceedings began with the Key Note addresses by Dale Konstanz (Glimpses of Classical Thai Literature in the contemporary ‘Thai Culture’), Dr. Donathan L. Brown (The Global Diversity Crisis: Challenges and Expectations) and Dr. S. Ramaratnam (One theme, many languages- the Dance Drama traditions in India, China and South East Asia) The Conference then broke into three parallel sessions – (i) Language and Literature (ii) Language, Linguistics and other studies, and (iii) Language and teaching methods, held in three different rooms simultaneously, from 10-30a m. to 5p m with a tea break and a lunch break in between. Papers were presented on various themes like Women studies, Identity crisis and Colonial influence on native traditions related to Language and Literature. There were papers on the contribution of African American writers to English literature, theories on literary appreciation, linguistic studies, the problems of non- native speakers of English, Comparative study of languages, English Grammar teaching, the problems of English language teachers, language and culture, language, body & mind, the contribution of contemporary writers, the problems of bilingualism, the problems of translations, the problems of language in relation to sciences and social sciences . The works of authors like Virginia Woolf and Tony Morison were also discussed. It was a rewarding experience for both the paper presenters as well as the listeners. The participants were taken on a tour on the second day of the conference. Many historical places in and around Bangkok were visited. The day ended with a river cruise which was a thrilling experience. The participants were so enthusiastic that they started asking about the venue and date of the next conference. The participants felt that the Conference brought together the people of different countries as one family transcending the barriers of caste, creed, languages, religions and nations. Thus the purpose of the conference was well and truly served. By Conference Chair Dr. S.

As for the Chinese folk dances, mention may be made of the Dragon Dance, the Fan Dance and the Lion Dance. The Court Dance is more sophisticated than these. Chinese opera is a popular form of drama and musical theatre in China with roots going back to the early periods in China. In the Bhagavata Mela dance drama tradition of India men take the role of women characters, as in the Chinese counterpart. The 21st century has seen new developments in the Chinese Dance Drama as in The Silk Road and the Legend of the Sun. The Rāmāyaṇa theme is very popular in the dance dramas of India. Similarly in the Khon tradition of Thailand, the Ramkien theme is popular. The Indonesian Rāmāyaṇa dance drama attracts a large International audience even today. In Mynmar, it is Yamayana, in Cambodia it is Khol, in Bali islands, it is Kecak, in Java it is Wayang Wong – all representing the same theme, only the languages are different. Keywords: Dance Drama, the Rāmāyaṇa, Court Dance, Bhagavata Mela Introduction Human evolution demonstrates group endeavours. They bring people together, educate, enlighten and entertain. In the field of art also, group presentations have greater impact on human mind. It is in this context that group productions of Dance dramas are discussed in this paper. Both India and China have a long history of Arts and Fine Arts. Though no corresponding written historical source exists, archaeologists have found pottery shards in China dating from the 4th millennium BC (about 6000 years ago) which depict dancers brandishing spears and other weapons that were used for hunting. The hunting was invariably followed by hunting dance. Much, much later, during the Han (BC206 – CD 220) Dynasty period, most of the folk dances of the many ethnic minorities of present-day China were developed. The dances were mainly meant for pleasing gods for a bountiful harvest. Both India and China have a profound influence on the life of the people of the South East Asian countries. While China has more influence than India on the social life of the South East Asian countries, India seems to have more influence on the cultural side. The present paper discusses the Dance Drama traditions of these countries. As for the theme, the Rāmāyaṇa still holds a sway over the dance dramas of South East Asian countries, though the languages differ. The Chinese tradition of Dance Dramas and Dances China has 56 ethnic minorities, each of which has a culture that is characterized by, among other features, a set of unique folk dances. Since each ethnic group's folk dances reflect the peculiarities of that group's religious, cultural and historical narrative, as it were, the dances – their choreography and their colorful costumes – naturally reflect this ethnic narrative. That said, many of the dances of ethnic minority groups share common themes such as rivalry, jealously and love – but also forgiveness – as well as matrimonial bliss and the communal bond. The communal bond plays an important role in many ethnic dances, and, indeed, one of the main reasons for the ritual performance of these ethnic dances on festive occasion is to 10
