We are delighted you have joined us for Reamker, 29 years ago we
began the Angkor Dance Troupe with the vision to preserve and
develop the traditions of Cambodian performing arts, that was
almost completely wiped out during the Khmer Rouge genocide.
As a community struggling to put down roots in a new homeland,
Cambodian dance provides a poignant reminder of the beauty and
spirituality of our culture and helps us build a more stable foundation for our children.
As the heart and soul of the Cambodian American community
in Lowell, the Troupe has served as a foundation and voice of our
cherished cultural traditions. We are nationally recognized as one
of the most accomplished and experienced of the U.S. - based Cambodian traditional arts ensembles and have received recognition
from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the National Endowment
of the Arts, and the White House.
We hope you enjoy the show!

The classical literature of Cambodia during the 16th and mid-19th
century reflected the cultural influence of India and represented
three major genres: the epic, verse novels, and bap, or "codes of
conduct:'
One of the earliest literary epic stories that was composed in the
Khmer language is the Cambodian version of the Indian Ramayana, Reamker. The evolution of the Indian Ramayana story in Cambodia represents the adaptation of Hindu ideas to Buddhist themes
and shows the balance of good and evil in society. Reamker serves
as an inspiration for various genres of performance in Cambodia.
Classical dance-drama, all-male masked dance-drama, and shadow
puppet plays all include episodes in their repertoire.
The story of Reamker centers on Preah Ream, a Prince who was
exiled to the forest through no fault of his own for fourteen years.
Following many adventures including the abduction of his wife
Neang Seda by the evil giant Krong Reap, Preah Ream eventually
rescues her with the help of an Army of monkeys guided by Hanuman. Preah Ream and Neang Seda return home in triumph and the
Prince reclaims his throne.
The complex interplay of strengths (bravery, foresight) and weaknesses (distrust, trickery) --though couched in episodes lined with
magic -- nonetheless represents aspects of human social behavior.

Scene I: Krong Reap sees Preah Ream and Neang Seda

The story begins with Preah Ream, Neang Seda and Preah Leak venturing off to the forest to gather fruits and flowers. Preah Ream and Neang
Seda falls asleep under a tree. It was there that Krong Reap catches sight
of Neang Seda, he was so awed by her beauty that he commands his
soldier Maharik to transform into Preus Meas - the Golden Deer. Neang
Seda falls in love with Preus Meas and ask Preah Ream to capture it for
her. Neang Seda and Preah Leak waits, while Preah Ream pursues the
Golden Deer.
Scene II: Preah Ream follows the Golden Deer

As Preah Ream pursues Preus Meas, Neang Seda becomes worried that
her husband may have trouble capturing the deer and ask Preah Leak to
assist him. Preah Leak agrees but before leaving he pulls out his magic
bow, shoots it at the ground near Neang Seda, which cast a protective
enchantment around her
Scene III: The Abduction of Nean Seda

Krong Reap's plans to get Neang Seda alone succeeds and attempts to
capture her, but fails. He keeps circling around the enchanted perimeter,
trying to find a way in, but each time gets burnt by the enchantment.
The only way Krong Reap can get to Neang Seda is to trick her out of
the circle, so he transforms into an Ta Eysi - an old Hermit. Neang Seda
sees Ta Eysi and steps out of the protective circle to bow down and pay
her respects. She allows him into the circle, where Ta Eysi tells her she is
destined for Krong Reap and not for Preah Ream. Shocked, Neang Seda
reprimands Ta Eysi by striking him. Angered, Ta Eysi transforms back to
his true form and chases her. The scene ends with Krong Reap capturing
and flying away with Neang Seda.

Scene IV: Preah Ream and Preah Leak calls for Hanuman

Upon returning the brothers realized Neang Seda was abducted. They
seek out Hanuman for help. Preah Ream shoots his magic arrow into the
sky to summon Hanuman and when he arrives, Preah Ream places his
ring preah thomrong in Hanuman's hand. This would be proof to Neang
Seda that she can trust Hanuman to bring her back home.
Scene V: Kin dom of Lan ka

At Krong Reap's palace, the gods cast a protective spell around Neang
Seda's body, which caused intense heat to radiate. Krong Reap is burned
every time he attempts to touch her. Angered, Krong Reap orders two
female servants to punish her, but they are interrupted by Hanuman.
Initially, Neang Seda thinks Hanuman is a fraud, so she places a spell on
him to test him. If he is the real Hanuman, a flower garland would appear around his neck. Hanuman then places the ring from Preah Ream
in Neang Seda's hand.
Scene VI: Hanuman and Sovann Macha

Hanuman attempts to build a bridge to the kingdom of Langka to rescue
Neang Seda, but is thwarted by Krong Reap's daughter, Sovann Macha.
As soon as the monkeys lay down the stone path to cross the ocean,
Sovann Macha's mermaids remove the stones. Hanuman catches Sovann
Macha and decides to seduce her. He succeeds and they end up falling in
love. Sovann Macha allows the completion of the stone path to the kingdom of Langka where a battle ensues between good and evil.
Scene VII: Neang Seda and the Test of Fire
Preah Ream, out of jealousy, assumes that Neang Seda was unfaithful and
no longer pure after being Krong Reap's captive, he puts her through the
test of fire to prove her fertility and purity. Her innocence was proven.

Vision

We envision Lowell Massachusetts to be the epicenter for innovative Cambodian performing arts with the Angkor Dance Troupe at
the core.

Mission
The Angkor Dance Troupe connects communities through the preservation, education and innovation of Cambodian performing arts.

History
The Angkor Dance Troupe was formed in 1986 by Cambodian refugees of the
Khmer Rouge holocaust. Lowell's Cambodian American community, estimated
at more than 35,000 people, is the second largest in the country. When we
resettled here, we brought a passion to carry on our cherished cultural traditions
to practice and perform, to teach our children, and to see our art preserved for
future gene!ations of all cultures.
We take our name from the great Angkor civilization, between 802 and 1432 AD
when Cambodia was a dominant empire in Southeast Asia. Dance and music
have always been prominent in Khmer society, but these ancient traditions were
nearly eliminated when the Khmer Rouge controlled Cambodia in the 1970s.
Artists were among those deliberately targeted for execution. More than 90% of
the country's tradition bearers perished. Today, as Cambodians around the world
struggle to emerge from decades of war and poverty, our people look to the
rebirth and re-creation of dance as testimony to the endurance of our culture.
"The Angkor Dance Troupe is a gem in the Commonwealth. The Massachusetts
Cultural Council is proud to be a longtime supporter of Angkor for its beauty,
value, and impact in preserving this rich cultural art form for the Lowell
community and beyond" says Anita Walker, the Executive Director for the
Mass Cultural Council. "The Angkor Dance Troupe is not only an organization
promoting dance, it's an inspiration to all those who survived the Cambodian
Genocide three decades ago, and a testament to the enduring power of the arts:'

An~kor' "Dance. Tr'o'-lpe., Inc.
History and Background
/ ike all traditional arts, Cambodian classical and folk dance has
/...!Jen passed down from one generation to the next. Since the
Angkor Era, Cambodian dancers and musicians have preserved,
cherished, and celebrated their art.
The Angkor Dance Troupe was formed

For' Cambodian~,

in 1986 in Lowell, MA by two teachers

ar'f i~ +he cor'e of

and a handful of dancers who learned

life, combining

traditional Cambodian Dance in

enfer'fainmen+,

refugee camps along the Thai-

fr'adifion, r'eligion,

Cambodian border. Between 1975, and

and ~ocial cohe~ion.

1979, when Pol Pot and the Khmer
Rouge controlled Cambodia, many dancers and musicians perished
or fled the country. It was in the camps and later in places like Lowell
and at the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh that traditional
Cambodian dance was painstakingly resurrected.
Today, dance has become one of the primary ways that Cambodians,
split by politics and war, identify a common culture. For Cambodians,
art is the core of life, combining entertainment, tradition, religion,
and social cohesion. Wherever Cambodians live, so do the traditions
of practicing, performing, and passing on the culture.

Dan '

C

ambodian classical dance has been associated with the
court of Cambodia for more than one thousand years.

During the great Angkor civilization, the dancers of the Khmer
royal ballet made offerings while performing during rituals and

ceremonies before sacred idols.
In court dance, we see highly-stylized positions in concert with
gentle movements. Gestures are strictly defined and distinguished
by the intricacy of hand positions.
Each of these gestures has a specific meaning, often relating to
nature. For example "Lea" can denote a leaf, but it can also mean
"to open." (See right hand in photo below.) Depending on its
context within the dance, Lea can represent the leaf and its beauty
or the opening of a hand or a piece of paper.
"Cheep" (left hand in photo) can symbolize
a flower or it can mean to fold into
small pleats.

�F

olk dance is rooted in rural Cambodia and reflects the life

and spirit of peasants. Throughout Cambodia, after the

harvest is over, it is time for music, song, and dance. Dance motifs
are commonly based on local legends and inspired by themes of
nature as well as the ceremonies, customs, and rituals of everyday
life. Just as court dance is ruled by a strict form and a prescribed
language of movement, folk dance is spontaneous, created for
emotional expressions.
The folk dances performed by the Angkor Dance Troupe were refined
by the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Researchers collected
dances and music from all over the country and then choreographed
dances that were suited to staged performances.

�A Leader in Traditional Cambodian Dance
The mission of the Angkor Dance Troupe is to preserve and
develop the traditions of Cambodian performing arts, to promote
an understanding and appreciation of Cambodian culture, and to
provide a positive social, cultural, and recreational outlet for
Cambodian youth.
The Angkor Dance Troupe is recognized throughout New England
as a leading Cambodian folk and classical dance ensemble.
The Troupe's artistic director, Phousita S. Huy is one of the mostrespected master teachers of Cambodian dance in the U.S.
She is a recently-emigrated star performer from the University of
Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, which is considered the cultural source
and artistic standard bearer of Cambodian performing arts. Troupe
coordinator and cofounder Tim Chan Thou was trained and
certified as a teacher of Cambodian traditional dance from
Khao-1-Dang and Philippine Refugee Centers.

�An Extensive Collection of Authentic Costumes
The Dance Troupe has assembled an extensive collection of
authentic costumes, dance materials, artifacts, and documentation.
The Troupe's principal costumer, Phalik Ting, learned Khmer classical dance in Camp Sakeo, Thailand. Costumers from the University of
Fine Arts in Phnom Penh have also made costumes for the Troupe.

Preparing for a performance can
take several hours. Many
Cambodian dance costumes are
so intricate and close-fitting that
dancers have to be sewn into
them before performances.

�Carrying on the Tradition
Over a dozen performances and public events have been scheduled
to date in 1997, including workshops and residency programs in
several public schools. Instructor Tim Chan Thou believes teaching in
the schools is vitally important. "This is how we plant the seeds of
interest in traditional culture," said Thou. "This is how we develop in
young people an appreciation for our heritage, and ultimately it's our
best hope to keep Cambodian dance alive."

Members of the Angkor Dance Troupe rehearse at the Madelon
Curtis Dance Studio in downtown Lowell.

The Troupe holds weekly rehearsals. For four hours every Sunday,
members gather to practice. The method of teaching is practiced as
it has been done traditionally, by watching, imitation, and assistaoce
from teachers to achieve the correct postures and movement.
Through the dance instruction, students learn about Cambodian
culture. From the folk dances, they learn about geography and a
daily life in Cambodia that they have never experienced. From the
classical or court dances they experience revered ancient traditions.
11

�Cambodian tradition prescribes
a particular relationship
between student and teacher,
a relationship that is repeated
in the relationships of children
to parents, and young people to
elders. Students are respectful
of teachers and of the knowledge they possess. They appreciate the chance to learn and
understand their responsibility
for carrying on their culture.

�We would like to
honor and thank
Thoeun (Tlnl) Thou
and Kolab Yin
for their dedication to
continuing the tradition
of Canlbodian dance.

Many people have made valuable contributions to the
Angkor Dance Troupe1 but without the sustained
commitment of Thoeun and Kolab over the past decade1
the Troupe would not have survived.
Despite the difficulties and hardships1 they have never
given up in their belief that Cambodian traditional dance
has meaning and value for future generations.
With respect and appreciation1 we give them our thanks.

�Apsara Dance

Apsara is a central symbol of Cambodian culture. In the great Angkor
civilization, the beautiful celestial dancers of the temple represented the
prayers and linked the human world to omnipotent deities. Hundreds of
bas-relief Apsara carvings can still be seen on the walls of Cambodia's
national treasure, the temples of Angkor Wat.
The Apsara Dance is based on the Angkor Wat sculptures. It is a dance
for special occasions, originally performed only for the royal families of
Cambodia. In the dance, we see Mera, dressed in white for purity,
dancing in her garden with her handmaidens, also Apsaras. The
golden flowers they carry symbolize the happiness and well-being of
Cambodian people.

�The Coconut Shell Dance
Coconut trees are a main
agricultural resource in
Cambodia. They provide
sustenance to Khmer farmers
and are abundant in villages.
Inspired by a popular game
called Coconut Shell, the
Coconut Dance originated in
the province of Svay Rieny, the
eastern part of Cambodia. In
its original form, it was a oneman show. In the modern-day
dance, an equal number of male and female dancers performs
the dance, signifying friendship and courtship.

Good Crops Dance
This folk dance comes from a minority tribe called Phnorng that lives in
the hilly plateaus and forests of the Mundulkiri and Tarankiri provinces
of Cambodia. The Good Crops dance depicts a delightful episode of
choosing the fields for crops. The dance, through its movements and
gesture, celebrates the hope for a productive harvest.

Expression of Sentiment Dance
Choreographed by the late dance master Chea Samy, this dance was
originally created to provide dance students with a wide range of
expressions and sentiments. It has also been performed by professional dancers as an addition to their repertoire of court dances. The
theme depicts courting actions and, as it concludes, the sadness of
two lovers separated.

�The Butterfly Dance

In Cambodia, a young Khmer hunter captures a butterfly, intrigued by its
color and motion. But when the hapless helpless creature begs for mercy,
he lets it go. And so the Butterfly Dance symbolizes both the curiosity and
the compassion of Cambodian people. The graceful gestures and polite
manner. The willingness to always help and support one another. And
above all, the desire to live in peace and harmony.
Moni Mekhala Dance

According to Cambodian legend, thunder and lightning result from the
eternal battle between the Goddess Moni Mekhala and her adversary,
the storm demon Ream Eyso. One of the most sacred dances in the
Cambodian classical repertory, Moni Mekhala is still performed as a
ceremony to pray for rain.

A
tradition in the
community since 1849.

�Khen Dance
This is a dance of courtship. In a region of Cambodia along the
border with Lao, people frequently play an instrument called the
khen or mouth organ. In this dance, men play the mouth organs to
serenade women. Not able to resist, the ladies touch the flowers
hanging from the khen and fall in love.
Chhoy Chhay Dance
Chhouy Chhay is the name of an adolescent princess dancer with
perfect beauty in all aspects. Her dance, voice, figure, and attitude are
rare and unmatched in the world. This choreography demonstrates her
delicate and gentle dance during her promenade in the forest.
e peacock is a symbol of
happiness in the region of
Pailin, which borders Thailand.
The dance is thought to bring
prosperity to villagers and for
that reason the dance is performed
during the New Year and at other
Peacock
of Pailin

ceremonies and festivals. The original
performance of this dance was adapted
from a tale involving a peacock and a
hunter and was danced with both
dancing and chasing actions.

When it was brought to the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh,
some of the original elements were eliminated and new elements
added. The theme was changed and now the dance embodies courtship.
Tep Monorum Dance
This dance, often considered the most beautiful in the classical
repertory, embodies the well being, friendship, and prosperity of
Cambodian people.

The Pestle Dance
The Pestle Dance is a popular Khmer folk dance that originated in
Siem Riep Province. It is a dance that celebrates the harvest. The
pestle and mortar are used in Cambodia as an old-fashioned way to
mill rice paddies. Usually two people, each with a pestle, pound
alternatively in a constant rhythm, an action which provided the
basis for the modern day dance.
Ch hay Yam Dance
Chhayam is a comic country dance. After the harvest, Khmer
peasants and farmers gather in ceremonies and festivals to
celebrate. Chhayam is performed to enliven and add levity to these
celebrations. Its exciting rhythm encourages dancers to improvise
their steps and gestures.

leading to over 4,500 youth served and 20,000 reached across the Northeast; and
a time to recognize those who continue helping us grow.
We would like to recognize each of you for making this a memorable event for
years to come and extend a special thank you to all our sponsors for this evening.
Your contributions are invaluable to this organization and will be used to ensure
the future growth of Angkor Dance Troupe.
Angkor Dance Troupe could not deliver on our mission without the support of
our donors, community partners, families, friends, staff and board. We look forward to your continued partnership in helping us connect Communities through
the Preservation, Education and Innovation of Cambodian Performing Arts.

�Honoring Our Past
History
The Angkor Dance Troupe was formed in 1986 by a group of
Cambodian refugees of the Khmer Rouge holocaust. Lowell's
Cambodian American community, estimated at more than 35,000
people, is the second largest in the country. When we resettled here,
we brought a passion to carry on our cherished cultural traditions
to practice and perform, to teach our children, and to see our art
preserved for future generations of all cultures.
We take our name
from the great
Angkor civilization,
between 802 and
1432 AD when
Cambodia was a
dominant empire
in Southeast Asia.
Dance and music
have always been
prominent in
Khmer society, but
these ancient traditions were nearly eliminated when the Khmer
Rouge controlled Cambodia in the 1970s. Artists were among those
deliberately targeted for execution. More than 90% of the country's
tradition bearers perished. Today, as Cambodians around the world
struggle to emerge from decades of war and poverty, our people
look to the rebirth and re-creation of dance as testimony to the
endurance of our culture.

�Celebrating Our Present
Today
What began as an organization that focused on the preservation
of Cambodian arts and culture quickly became a youth-serving
program. We recognized that, in order to fulfill our mission, we
needed to groom the next generation of leaders. Using performing
arts as the tool, we developed and guided over 4,500 youth over the
years. These young people furthered their education and became
teachers, nurses, and civic leaders within the community. They
pointed to ADT as an integral part of their leadership journey.
Since our 25th anniversary we
have built a passionate Advisory
Board, strengthened our current
Board of Directors, created
a comprehensive strategic
fundraising plan, and we continue
to establish strong partnerships.
The number of youth served has
increased each year, with our
residency reaching an additional
100 youth through a summer
program serving new refugee
groups.
In addition to our expansion in youth programming, our
accomplishments include three "big" annual performances,
two residencies, performance market expansion outside of
Greater Lowell, co-hosting a national Southeast Asian American
Conference with UMass Lowell (summer 2017), Senior Dancer
Certification, (Bi)Annual Master Teacher Residencies, and Senior
Dancer professional development.

�Embracing Our Future
Future

The future of Angkor Dance Troupe is to become the epicenter for
innovative Cambodian performing arts. To achieve this vision, our
goal is to have Lowell become home to the following:
Lowell Angkor Arts Academy
10 Certified Master Teachers
Angkor Touring Company
We ask that you help advance this vision by supporting our goal of
raising $30,000 toward establishing an endowment that will ensure
thousands more youth will be served.

From One Generation to the Next
The Angkor Dance was formed in 1986 by Cambodian refugees
of the Khmer Rouge genocide. When we resettled in Lowell,
Massachusetts we brought a passion to carry on our cherished
traditions - to practice and perform, to teach others, and to see
our art preserved for future generations of all cultures.
Greater Lowell is home to the second-largest community of
Cambodian Americans in the country. Cambodian dance
performances provide a poignant reminder of the beauty and
spirituality of Khmer culture and help us develop a sense of home
and community in a new homeland.

�Classical dance has been connected to
Cambodia's sacred rituals for more than
one thousand years. During the great
Angkor Era, dancers performed in temples
to bring prosperity to the kingdom . Bas
relief carvings at many of Cambodia's vast
temple complexes depict celestial dancers
-Apsaras - who linked the human world
to the gods. Classical dance is sometimes
called court dance or royal ballet. At one
time, it was the exclusive domain of
royalty. Today this cherished art is enjoyed
by audiences around the world and is a
universal symbol of Khmer culture.

~roughout Cambodia,
after the harvest, it is time
for music, song, and dance.
Folk dance is rooted in rural Cambodia and depicts rituals of
everyday village life. The dances honor skills that are typically
undervalued in the rush toward westernization, such as fishing
and rice farming. Dance motifs are commonly based on local
legends and inspired by themes of nature as well as the ceremonies, and customs that shape the lives of Cambodian people.
Distinctive, colorful costumes represent the traditional dress of
the various regions and ethnic groups within Cambodia.

�A National Leader in Traditional Cambodian Dance
The Troupe takes its name
from the great Angkor
Civilization, between 802
and 1432 AD, when
Cambodia was a dominant
empire in Southeast Asia.
Dance, music, and drama
have always been promi nent in Khmer society, but
these ancient traditions
were nearly eliminated
when the Khmer Rouge
controlled Cambodia in the
1970's. Artists were among
those del iberately targeted
for execution and more

than 90% of the country's
tradition bearers perished.

The Angkor Dance Troupe is nationally recognized as one of the
most experienced and accomplished of the U.S. based Cambodian
dance ensembles. Angkor is directed by world-renowned master
teachers and performs a repertoire developed in concert with the
Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia,
considered the global standard bearer for Khmer traditional arts.
Angkor has an active program of educational exchange with RUFA,

�which allows us to continually improve and expand our repertoire
of classical and folk dance traditions.
We routinely host visiting master teachers from RUFA, as well as U.S.
based master dancers, for extended artists' residencies and workshops. Between 1999 and 2002, for example, we were honored to
work closely with esteemed master
teachers Phan Phoung and
Sokhanarith Moeur, through
projects funded by the Lila Wallace/
Readers Digest Fund for Folk
Culture and the Southern N.E. Folk
and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship
program, funded by the NEA,
Institute for Community Research,

�Masters of Cambodian Dance - Learning from the Best
In 1998 and 2001 , Angkor was able to
secure educational visas for a number
of RUFA masters through a partnership with Middlesex Community
College. These important dance
masters spent several months in Lowell
teaching Angkor apprentices as well as
dance students in Providence, R.I. and
Portland, ME. They also conducted
residencies with public school students
at the Lowell Community Charter
School and the Peterborough, NH
Regional Educational System .

A Unique Way to Serve Youth
A central component of Angkor's mission is to provide positive cultural,
and recreational opportunities for Lowell youth. Since 1986, we have
served more than 500 young people, ranging in age from 4 to 18, who
rigorously rehearse, participate in performances, and attend outings.
Youth typically stay involved with Angkor for at least 4 to 5 years, many
even longer. In 1999, our work with youth was honored at the White
House with a prestigious "Coming Up Taller" award from the President's
Committee on the Arts and the Humanities and the National Endowment
for the Arts.
Since 1998, the Troupe has operated Angkor Youth Dance, an
afterschool and summer program for at-risk youth, with major funding
from the Massachusetts Cultural Council YouthReach Initiative. The
program benefits from the involvement of a number of community

Greater Lowell, UMass Lowell College of Arts and Sciences, and Lowell
National Historical Park, and others. In addition to MCC funding,
supporters include the Lowell Enterprise Community, Lowell Community
Development Block Grant, and Friends of the Angkor Dance Troupe.
Over the years, we have witnessed firsthand the value of high quality, indepth arts programming for youth . We have had several apprentices, for
example, who were involved in gangs when they joined the troupe and
have since left their street lives behind . Angkor's success with at-risk
youth was featured on the WCVB-TV Chronicle program in October 2001 .

Dancers share their thoughts

•••••••••••••••

Sopharl Ngin was born in Cambodia but has been
immersed in American culture since she was five.
"When I perform the Fishing Dance, and my
parents are watching,
I feel so happy. It's
like I've gone back in
time and I'm this
Cambodian girl out
fishing in the stream.
Through dancing,
I can connect to my
Khmer side and hold
on to that part of
my heritage. I can
show my parents
that I haven't
forgotten where I
come from."

Sovann-Thida Loeung was 15 when she and
her family left Cambodia for a refugee camp
in Thailand. After resettling in Lowell in the
1980's, Thida joined the Angkor Dance Troupe.
" Being a new arrival to America, regularly
practicing and performing Cambodian dance
gave me a kind of identity that went beyond
that of refugee and newcomer. It confirmed
the value of my Cambodian culture - to others
and to myself. With every performance of the
Angkor Dance Troupe,
I felt more and more that my community
had something important to contribute."
Today, more than 15 years later, Thida
still dances. She also chairs Angkor's
Board of Directors and is a teacher at the
Lowell Demonstration School. She and
her husband, George Chigas, have a
three-year old son, Yianni .

18-year-old Heng Noeuk has been dancing since the seventh grade.
"The Angkor Dance Troupe has changed my life. There are so many th ings
it's done for me, I can't even begin to explain. The teachers are like
parents. When I have problems, they help me. They've really g iven me
confidence. At one time, I wanted to given up - on dancing and on life.
They encouraged me not to and gave me hope. I' ve learned not to give
up so easily. Now, I feel I can do anything."

The Board of Directors and Staff of the Angkor Dance Troupe
welcome you to this performance of Pin Panhchapor. Tonight's
event marks the kickoff of our 30th Anniversary Series of events,
culminating in a celebration that will take place on April 7, 2017 at
the Sompao Meas Hall.
The Angkor Dance Troupe was formed thirty years ago with the
vision to preserve and develop the Cambodian performing arts,
traditions that were almost completely wiped out during the
Khmer Rouge genocide. For a community struggling to put down
roots in a new homeland, Cambodian dance provides a poignant
reminder of the beauty and spirituality of our culture and helps us
build a more stable foundation for our children.
As the heart and soul of the Cambodian American community in
Lowell, the Angkor Dance Troupe has served as a foundation and
voice of its cherished cultural traditions. The Troupe is nationally
recognized as one of the most accomplished and experienced
traditional Cambodian arts ensembles in the United States and has
received recognition from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the
National Endowment of the Arts, and the White House.
Enjoy the show, and we hope to see you at other 30th anniversary
events to come!

Pre Show:
Ream Leak Chup Leak - classical
In the story Reamker, Neang Seda, the princess is living in exile in
the forest with her son and the hermit, a magic wizard. She sets out
to bathe one morning, leaving her sleeping son Ream Leak with
the hermit. On her way to the pond, she spots a female monkey,
and she notices the monkey carrying her young with her wherever
she goes. Neang Seda feels guilty about leaving her own son behind
and goes back and gets him.
The hermit is in deep meditation and doesn't notice Neang Seda's
return or her taking Ream Leak. When he wakes to find the child
missing, he panics and fears Neang Seda anger. He takes Ream
Leak's pillow and scrapes off some remnants of his skin cell - and
fashions a new child - an identical clone of Ream Leak.
Imagine Sita's surprise when she returns from bathing and finds
that Ream Leak now has a twin. The hermit names the new boy
Chup Leak. They decide the two boys will study together and for
the next seven years, they study magic with the hermit.

In this scene, the two boys go off to play in the forest with their
bows and arrows. They each shoot an arrow into a large tree. The
impact makes such a huge sound; it is heard all the way to the
capital city.
The Prince, Preah Ream, hears it and gets mad. He sends his best
army general, a white monkey named Hanuman, to investigate the
source of this sound, and to capture those responsible for it. He
sends his white horse along with Hanuman but hangs a sign on the
neck of the horse that says "Anyone who plays with this horse will
be executed."

Eventually Hanuman and the horse catches up with the two boys
in the forest. Ream Lak and Chup Lak are very curious boys. They
see the sign and immediately check out the horse - and take turns
riding it. Hanuman tries to capture them, but he can't because,
with their seven years of training in magic have made the boys very
powerful and crafty. Instead they capture Hanuman, tie him up,
and before sending him back to Preah Ream, they take resin from a
tree and write a letter on his face that says only Hanuman's master,
Preah Ream will be able to untie the string. You see the Monkey
general struggle against the rope and eventually he gives up and
returns to his master, defeated in his mission.

Krama Dance - folk
The Krama, a Cambodian scarf woven from silk or cotton, has been
a fashion staple since Ancient times and even to this day is still
used by Khmer people throughout the country from rural areas
to major cities. Over the years, the Krama became a symbol and
a major part of the Khmer identity. In today's society, regardless
of their position in life, every Cambodian uses Krama everyday
whether as a scarf, a hammock, a fan, or to carry their lunch.
Khmer people for generations have tied kramas around their waists
to work and play in cool comfort. While some claim the thin
cloth, wrapped around one's head or neck, is used primarily to wipe
the sweat from a hot face, others say wearing a krama is as 'Khmer'
as wearing a necktie is American. The Krama dance was depicted
and symbolic of everyday Khmer people life

Inspired by the 1,000 year old bas-relief or wall carvings on
Angkor Wat and Bayon in Cambodia, Dr. Hang Rithyravuth,
wrote the play of Pin Panhchapor along with composing the music
accompaniment. As the Acting Dean of the Faculty of Music
at the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA) in Phnom Penh,
Dr. Rithyravuth was able to bring together talented musicians
and performers to showcase the carvings of the Apsara, music
instruments accompanying the Apsara, circ (circus performers), and
the musical instruments accompanying the battle scenes.

Scene I: Churning of the Sea of Milk
Based on a tale over a thousand years ago, during the time of
Brahmanism. It tells about a battle of good and evil between
the Monkey General and Giant King over the Neak (Naga
snake). The Neak was used to churn the sea of milk to extract
the amrit (water of immortality). This liquid brings immortality
to whomever possesses it. Over the course of 1,000 years they
continued to churn the sea until one day within the foam of the
sea, appeared an Apsara.

Scene II: Apsaras in the Garden of Paradise
Due to the churning of the sea, the White Apsara raised to the
surface of the ocean. The White Apsara accompanied by her
other Apsaras friends, entered the garden of paradise.
Inspired by the beautiful flowers, the White Apsara began to sing
and play her harp.

Scene Ill: Arun and Soriya Falls in Love with White Apsara
Arun (meaning sunrise) walks into the garden and sees the White
Apsara and immediately falls in love. He picks a lotus flower and
hands it to her to declare his love. The White Apsara takes the
flower as a sign of friendship and thought the lotus was meant to
be given as an offering at the temple.
As Arun offers the the lotus, Soriya (meaning sunset) enters the
garden and sees this. Soriya, also in love with the White Apsara,
offers her a bouquet of orchids. The White Apsara also accepts the
flowers as a sign of friendship and as she reaches for the orchids,
Arun becomes angry and pushes the orchids out of Soriya's hands.
This was the start of the conflict between Arun and Soriya.

Scene IV: Destruction of the Garden of Paradise
Arun and Soriya each called their army and began to battle and
destroyed the garden. The White Apsara and her friends tried to
clean up the garden but the battle continued on, which caused the
war between Soriya and Arun to get worse.

Scene V: Summoning Panhchapor (Five Gods of Color)
The never ending battle between Arnn and Soriya does not stop, so
the White Apsara calls for help. She picks up her Pin (Harp) and
starts to play the music, which summons the Panchapor (Five Gods
of Color)

Scene VI: Peace and Harmony Returns
The Panhchapor came to save the heavenly garden by helping all
sides to communicate and work together. Due to the White Apsara's
effort she brought everyone including the Panchapor together.

�UISIDrt
We envision Lowell Massachusetts to be the epicenter for innovative
Cambodian performing arts with the Angkor Dance Troupe at the core.

MISSIDrt
The Angkor Dance Troupe connects communities through the preservation,
education and innovation of Cambodian performing arts.

HISTORY
The Angkor Dance Troupe was formed in 1986 by Cambodian refugees of the
Khmer Rouge holocaust. Lowell's Cambodian American community, estimated at
more than 35,000 people, is the second largest in the country. When we
resettled here, we brought a passion to carry on our cherished cultural traditions
to practice and perform, to teach our children, and to see our art preserved for
future generations of all cultures.
We take our name from the great Angkor civilization, between 802 and 1432 AD
when Cambodia was a dominant empire in Southeast Asia. Dance and music
have always been prominent in Khmer society, but these ancient traditions were
nearly eliminated when the Khmer Rouge controlled Cambodia in the 1970s.
Artists were among those deliberately targeted for execution. More than 90% of
the country's tradition bearers perished. Today, as Cambodians around the world
struggle to emerge from decades of war and poverty, our people look to the rebirth
and re-creation of dance as testimony to the endurance of our culture.
"The Angkor Dance Troupe is a gem in the Commonwealth. The Massachusetts
Cultural Council is proud to be a longtime supporter of Angkor for its beauty,
value, and impact in preserving this rich cultural art form for the Lowell
community and beyond" says Anita Walker, the Executive Director for the
Mass Cultural Council. "The Angkor Dance Troupe is not only an organization
promoting dance, it's an inspiration to all those who survived the Cambodian
Genocide three decades ago, and a testament to the enduring power of the arts."

The Angkor Dance was formed in 1986 by Cambodian refugees
of the Khmer Rouge genocide. When we resettled in Lowell,
we brought a passion to carry on our cherished traditions - to
practice and perform, to teach others, and to see the art form
preserved for future generations of all cultures.
The Angkor Dance Troupe is nationally recognized as one of
the most accomplished Cambodian traditional arts ensembles
performing today. The Troupe is directed by world-renowned
master teachers and performs a body of work developed in
concert with the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh,
Cambodia, considered the premier standard bearer for tradi tional Cambodian arts. The Angkor Dance Troupe is listed on the
Massachusetts and New England States Touring Rosters and has
performed at venues including the White House, First Night
Boston, the National and Lowell Folk Festivals, the Berkshire
Museum, Yale University, and Jacob's Pillow.

�A classical dancer performs a ceremony at Angkor Wat.

The Troupe takes its name from the great Angkor Civilization,
between 802 and 1432 AD, when Cambodia was a dominant
empire in Southeast Asia . Dance, music, and drama have always
been prominent in Khmer society, but these ancient traditions
were nearly eliminated when the Khmer Rouge controlled
Cambodia in the 1970's. Artists were among those deliberately
targeted for execution and more than 90% of the country's
tradition bearers perished. Today as Cambodians in Lowell and
elsewhere struggle to emerge from decades of war and poverty,
our people look to the rebirth and re-creation of dance as
testimony to the endurance of Cambodian culture. 1

�Greater Lowell is home to the second-largest community of
Cambodian Americans in the country. Cambodian dance
performances provide a poignant reminder of the beauty and
spirituality of Cambodian culture and help us develop a sense
of home and community in a new homeland .
While working in refugee camps during the 1980's, anthropologist Toni Shapiro observed that despite adverse conditions
there was a passion to dance. "People who know only the
rudiments of Khmer classical or folk dance movements taught
others, and they staged small shows ... Wherever the Khmer
were, some were dancing. In the camps along the ThaiCambodian border, a war zone in 1983, dancers dodged
artillery shells on the way to practice or even during performances. Still they danced ... And thousands showed up to
watch, sometimes perching on bunkers to get a better view."

Congratulations to the
"Coming Up Taller" award winners
who were honored at the

White House

in 1999!

lassical dance is considered by some to be the "proleung"

(soul) of the Khmer people. It has been connected to the

sacred rituals of Cambodia for more than one thousand years.
During the great Angkor civilization, dancers performed blessing

ceremonies in temples to bring prosperity to the kingdom.
Bas relief carvings at Angkor Wat depict heavenly dancers called
Apsaras which were believed to connect the human world to the
gods. Classical dance is sometimes called 'court dance' or
Cambodia's 'royal ballet.' At one time, classical dance was the
exclusive domain of royalty. Today this cherished art is enjoyed
by audiences around the world. Classical dance combines highlystylized positions and gentle movements. Gestures are strictly
defined and distinguished by intricate hand positions.

music, song, and dance. Folk dance is rooted in rural

Cambodia and depicts rituals of everyday village life. The dances
honor skills that are typically undervalued in the rush toward
westernization, such as fishing and rice farming.
Dance motifs are commonly based on local legends and inspired
by themes of nature as well as the ceremonies, and customs that
shape the lives of Cambodian people. Distinctive, colorful
costumes represent the traditional dress and cloth from the
various regions and ethnic groups within Cambodia.
Just as classical dance is ruled by a strict form and a prescribed
language of movement, folk dance is spontaneous, created for
emotional expressions.

�An Extensive Collection of Richly Detailed Costumes
The Angkor Dance Troupe has assembled an extensive collection
of richly-detailed, authentic costumes, dance materials, and
artifacts. Much of the collection was created by master dancers
and costumers from the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh.
Preparing for a performance can take several hours. Many
costumes are so intricate and close-fitting that dancers must be
sewn into them before performances.

rigorously rehearse and participate in Troupe performances and
events. Youth apprentices typically stay involved with the Troupe
for at least 4 to 5 years. In 1999, the Angkor Dance Troupe was
selected for the prestigious Coming Up Taller award from the

�Angkor Youth Dance - A Community Partnership Reaps Rewards
In October 1998, the Troupe launched Angkor Youth Dance, a
very successful afterschool and summer program for at-risk
youth with major funding from the Massachusetts Cultural
Council YouthReach Initiative. We operate the program with a
number of community partners including the ADAM project of
Big Brother/Big Sister of Greater Lowell, the UMass Lowell
College of Health Professions, the Lowell Community Schools
Program, Community Teamwork, Inc., the Lowell office of DSS,
the Lowell Police Department, and others.
The Troupe helps Cambodian American young people make
constructive choices in their lives by immersing them in the rich
cultural heritage from which they come. Over the years, we have
witnessed firsthand the value of cultural-based arts programming
for yo uth. We have had several apprentices, for example, who
were involved in gang activities when they joined the Troupe
and who have since left their street life behind and are making
re markable progress in their academic and personal lives. Through
Angkor Dance Troupe, they develop a sense of discipl ine, self
esteem, and pride in their Cambodian heritage.

�Mrs. Peou Khatna
Mrs. Peou Khatna was born in 1914 in
Srok Samrong Torng of Kampong Speu province,
Cambodia. She was the daughter of Mr. Peou Ee
and Mrs. Thou Yin .
At the age of eight, she was adopted by
her aunt, Mrs. Khat, who was a royal dancer in
the reign of King Norodom (Sovanakot). Ms.
Khatna was specially gifted in the Cambodian
classical art. She learned from her Aunt until she
was 15, when she was chosen to be a dancer at
the royal palace. She continued to study dance with the best teachers in the royal palace
including Masters Learn and Dok Peay. As a young woman, Peou Khatna lived in the palace
through the reign of King Sisowath (Rajanukot) until the end of the reign of King Manivong
(Khatiyakot). She then left the palace and married Mr. Nuth Sin in 1944. She had two daughters,
Sin Ny and Nuth Kantya. She was called to return to work with the Royal Dance Troupe by his
Majesty, the King Norodom Sihanouk. She was in the royal Pleng Pin Peat (royal classical music
group). As a member of Royal Dance Troupe, Mrs. Peou Khatna performed at many different
official functions. She performed 55 times throughout various provinces in Cambodia, three times
each in China and Indonesia, and once each India, France, Czechoslovakia, and Russia. The last
performance was in 1970 when she accompanied the Cambodian Classical Dance Co. to the U.S.
Surviving the 1975-1979 atrocities of the Khmer Rouge regime, she and her family went to
Kao-I-Dang Refugee camp in Thailand in 1980, where she organized a Cambodian classical ballet
ensemble. In 1981, the Troupe was resettled in the Washington D.C. area - the first Cambodian
dance Troupe in the U.S. In 1983, Mrs. Khatna led the Troupe, known as the Khmer Traditional
Arts Ensemble, in a U.S. tour funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. The Troupe
performed throughout the U.S including California, Tennessee, Ohio, Florida, Rhode Island, and
.
Massachusetts. She directed performances at prestigious venues including the Kennedy Center,
National Geographic, the Library of Congress, Museum of Natural History, Capitol Hill, and Wolf
Trap. She received a Fellowship Award from the National Endowment for the Arts and a
certificate of appreciation from President Ronald Reagan in 1986.
In 1991, Venerable Preah Sumedhavansa Oung Mean Candavanno invited her to organize a
cultural class at the Cambodian Buddhist Temple. She served as the Artistic Director for the Temple's
dance programs until she passed away on Thursday, March 25, 1999 at Frederick Memorial Hospital,
Washington D.C. (Interviewed by Mrs. Raci Say, Vice President of Cultural Committee.)
Grandma,
Your dedication and great commitment
to the preservation and development
of Cambodian culture will never be
forgotten. May your soul and spirit be
always with us and forever protect our
heritage and traditional dance.
Love always from your Grandson,
Tim Chan Thou &amp; Family

awards ceremony.

" Our time in Philadelphia was
very exciting," said Troupe
Coordinator Tim Chan Thou,
pictured above with Rithy
Uong. "One of the most
memorable experiences was
meeting the delegations from
all of the different cities."

Taary Ram shows

festivities.

"The best moment of the experience for
me was when we performed for the states
at the Civic Action Fair," said Sopheap
Sou. " The feeling was wonderful having
everyone cheer us on. I was really proud ."
"The best thing about the trip for me was
having the chance to represent a city
where I was born and have lived all my
life," said Sochenda Uch. "It was great
being part of a crowd that was cheering
for our city's pride."

�Masters of Cambodian Dance - Learning from the Best
Members of the Troupe rehearse for several hours each week. The
method of teaching is based on the traditional model - apprentices
learn by watching, imitation, and hands-on assistance from teachers.

In 1999, renowned master
teachers Sokhanarith Meour
and Phan Phoung of
Connecticut held a series of
workshops on the "Chhay
Yam" and other dances,
through a project sponsored
by the Lila Wallace Reader's
Digest Community Folklife
Program .

�Thank You
We are delighted you have joined us for the world premiere of Apsara
Dancing Stones. 25 years ago, we began the Angkor Dance Troupe with the
vision to preserve and develop the traditions of Cambodian performing arts,
that was almost completely wiped out during the Khmer Rouge genocide. As a
community struggling to put down roots in a new homeland, Cambodian dance
provides a poignant reminder of the beauty and spirituality of our culture and
helps us build a more stable foundation for our children.
As the heart and soul of the Cambodian American community in Lowell, the
Troupe has served as a foundation and voice of our cherished cultural traditions.
We are nationally recognized as one of the most accomplished and experienced
of the U.S. - based Cambodian traditional arts ensembles and have received
recognition from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the National Endowment
of the Arts, and the White House.
Apsara Dancing Stones represents a monumental achievement in the artistic
development and innovation of the Troupe. The story of Apsara Dancing Stones
uses the traditions and techniques of the classical Khmer dance blended with
contemporary dance drama elements. This interpretive dance allows the Angkor
Dance Troupe to honor Cambodian history and culture while advancing the art
form to a new level.
As we debut this performance we look forward to all the opportunities that lie
ahead the next 25 years.
We hope you enjoy the show!

�Story
The Angkor Dance Troupe presents the premiere of Apsara Dancing Stones, a
contemporary dance drama that embodies the beauty and culture of Cambodia.
With Eastern and Western influences, this visual narrative combines an
unparalleled performance of dance and music from modern and classical
Cambodian styles.
A young Cambodian/ American architectural student, Khemra, travels to
Cambodia with a group of students to study the UNESCO world heritage site,
Angkor Wat. He is unaware that the spirits inhabiting the stones of Angkor have
a story to tell.
Through the eyes of the Apsara, Khemera is about to embark on a magical
journey into Cambodia's golden era of Gods and Goddesses.

�Mission
The Angkor Dance Troupe, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit, is a unique organization
that provides an essential service to the community. The Troupe is the only
nonprofit cultural group in Lowell, MA, whose sole mission is to preserve
the traditions of Cambodian performing arts.
The Angkor Dance Troupe develops and teaches Cambodian dance,
promotes an understanding and appreciation of Cambodian culture, and
provides a positive social and educational outlet for Cambodian youth.

History
The Angkor Dance Troupe was formed in 1986 by Cambodian refugees of the
Khmer Rouge holocaust. Lowell's Cambodian American community, estimated
at more than 35,000 people, is the second largest in the country. When we
resettled here, we brought a passion to carry on our cherished cultural traditions
to practice and perform, to teach our children, and to see our art preserved for
future generations of all cultures.
We take our name from the great Angkor civilization, between 802 and 1432 AD
when Cambodia was a dominant empire in Southeast Asia. Dance and music
have always been prominent in Khmer society, but these ancient traditions were
nearly eliminated when the Khmer Rouge controlled Cambodia in the 1970s.
Artists were among those deliberately targeted for execution. More than 90% of
the country's tradition bearers perished. Today, as Cambodians around the world
struggle to emerge from decades of war and poverty, our people look to the
rebirth and re-creation of dance as testimony to the endurance of our culture.
"The Angkor Dance Troupe is a gem in the Commonwealth. The Massachusetts
Cultural Council is proud to be a longtime supporter of Angkor for its beauty,
value, and impact in preserving this rich cultural art form for the Lowell
community and beyond" says Anita Walker, the Executive Director for the
Mass Cultural Council. "The Angkor Dance Troupe is not only an organization
promoting dance, it's an inspiration to all those who survived the Cambodian
Genocide three decades ago, and a testament to the enduring power of the arts:'

Our Dancers 3
in Virginia
and Colorado

Paris, Phnom Penh, New York
City - these seemed likely venues to premiere the first Cambodian-American Opera ever to be
produced.
The production's
international team included Arn
Chorn-Pond, founder of Cambodian Living Arts, John Burt and
Catherine Filloux, both based in
New York City, Him Sophy of
the Royal University of Fine Arts
in Phnom Penh, and other performers and choreographers
from Cambodia, the US and
Europe. The opera ran from
April 27th-29th, not in any of
those global cities but rather in
Lowell.
An extensive team
worked for over a year to stage
the production at Lowell High
School. Angkor Dance Troupe
was a vital part of bringing this
show to Lowell , and to the thousands of people who saw it.
For those Lowell residents of
Cambodian heritage the opera
was particularly poignant.
It
melded old and new art forms, it
told the story of suffering and

survival
that so

m a n y
h a v e
experienced,
and
it
offered
an examA scene from Elephants
pie of new life, in the form of this
artistic production.
Angkor
Dance Troupe trained performers in classical dance techniques,
and worked with musicians from
Cambodia and the US.
Four
Troupe dancers performed in the
show.
Phousita Huy led the
Troupe's dancers. Her deeply
moving performance reminded
the Troupe of why she is so
valuable to us; Ms. Huy's dancing
mixed immense reserves of innate talent and grace with skill
born of discipline and training.

Peter Veth , Monica
Veth and Sophy Leng joined Ms.
Huy onstage. Monica Veth of
Angkor Dance, said of "usually
we dance to traditional music.
Now we had to dance to music
for the opera. The most memorable moment for me was the
speech that Mr. Burt made backstage, before the play, using such
nice words. I became very emotional." Sophy Leng said, "We
were the only four dancers.
Everyone eise was acting or rapping. The day of the show, before it started, we were preparing, getting dressed. The traditional Khmae band was setting up
their instruments. We did a
quick blessing ceremony. We
knelt with our hands in a praying
position and prayed that the
opera would go well. The incense was burning-it was a
special moment.
I loved the
feeling, and I hope that others
can have this experience too."

After 21 Years, An Endowment
On October 31st, 2007, a dream
came true:
Angkor Dance
Toupe established an endowment with the Greater Lowell
Community Foundation. Thanks
to generous and timely donations
by our friends and supporters,
the Troupe was able to meet the
$5,000 minimum required by the
Foundation to qualify for an additional $2,500 match .

An Endowment is a
fund that will last as long as the
Troupe does, and will pay the
Troupe a dividend every year,
based on interest earned. All of
this is to say that Tim Thou and
Phousita Huy and the dedicated
and talented dancers of the
Troupe will have some guaranteed income every year. At this
point it is small - perhaps only

enough for a costume upgrade,
or to pay for a Master Teach er
workshop - but with the generosity we have seen from our
dono rs and with the goodwill and
guidance of the GLCF, we are
confident that it will only grow
with time. This is a true investment in the Troupe's future and
in Lowell's cultural treasure.

Apsaras Come to Life After 1,000 Years
While this may seem like a
headline from the National
Enquirer (Cambodian Version), in reality it speaks to the
artistic talent of the Troupe's
Phousita Huy and Phnom-Penh
based musician Him Sophy. It
is through their combined
talents that the Apsaras will
come to life, stepping off the
walls of the ancient temples
an d speaking of modern-day
suffering, need for compassion,
and appealing to the international community for censer-

vation of all things precious.
This includes not only the
welfare of those in distress or
in need, but also the expres-

and dance that will anchor the

that are embodied in ancient

"Let the dresses talk," said Peter

Recent stages on wh ich Angkor
Dance Troupe has performed include one in the shadow of the
great Rocky Mountains, in the
western part of the Un ited States.

\

In August of thi s year,
three T roupe dancers t ravelled to
Colorado for the annual Cambodian Culture Camp, sponsored by
Families w ith Cambodian Children .
By performing for this group of
families, Troupe members brought
a taste of the Cambodian arts to an
audience with a great appreciation
for things Khmer.
Linda Sou , th e Troupe's

Assistant Program Directo r, said "It
was a very rewarding experience.
When we began to dance the
younger ki ds all stopped tal king.
They became quiet and watched,
sitting absolutely still."
Board
Member Deborah Nelson, who
attended the Camp with her family,
reflected on how meaningful it was
to those gathered there to connect
with ancient Cambodian trad itions
and to each other.

National Parl( Service Performance

This September we added Williamsburg, Virginia to the growing
list of venues, near and far , where
Angkor Dance Troupe has performed . Th is time the occasion
was a special one: the annual conference of the National Leadership
Council of the National Park Service (NPS) . Lowell Natio nal Historical Park Superintendent, Mi chael Creasy, invited the Troupe to

perform not only as a treat for the
attendees, but also as a way to
model cutting edge private-public
partnership, and exploration of
cultural resources. Among those
who enjoyed the performance were
the NPS Director Mary Bomar, and
the Secretary of the Interior, Dirk
Kempthorne. Lowell N PS's Duey
Kol remarked that "the dancers
who represented the T roupe on

this special day were
magical, and we received many compliments. Their professionalism and passion

In auditoriums, courtyards and
on street corners, young graduates in their black robes show
their exuberant joy at having
stepped into the next phase of
their lives.
This graduation season
got us thinking. How does learning the delicate hand gestures of
the Apsara dance prepare a person for the rest of their life?
How does mastery of the rollicking rhythms of the coconut dance
help with mastering the art of
making a living?

We asked people in
their early 20s who had danced
with the Troupe for a number of
years to reflect on how their
time with the Troupe shaped
who they are now. Here is what
one of them said:

Troupe. I am now the Di rector
of Youth Development for the
Lowell Community Health Center. I'm also the Assistant Program Director for Angkor Dance
Troupe. And I am attending full
time graduate school at the
Springfield College School of
Human Services in Boston, studying for a Master of Science in
Human Services.

Old Traditions and New
Technologies prepare Angkor dancers like Linda Sou
for their futures
" I am Sopheap (Linda) Sou.

I'm

24 years of age, 20 of which I
spent with the Angkor Dance

My time with the
Troupe shaped me by supporting
my leadership in both fields . The
dance discipline has taught me
dedication and commitment to
what is near to my heart - culture, dance and community organizing. I am very pleased with
where I am in my life. I would
like to continue the work that I
am doing.

Rapt faces followed every gesture made by Monica Veth, as
the crowd of over 600 middle
schoolers sat unusually still and
silent, absorbing the graceful
demonstration of Cambodian
dance. Linda Sou spoke with
quiet authority and humor about
dance, how it is learned and her
own experiences as a child, as
she gradually came to master
over I 500 of the 5000 gestures
that make up Cambodian classical
dance.

This compelling workshop was
part of a joint endeavor between
Angkor Dance Troupe and the
middle schools of Lowell, facilitated by a $10,000 grant from
the National Endowment for the
Arts.

More than 2,000 students were
treated to a lesson in Cambodian
culture and a classical or monkey
dance performance by the
Troupe in the spring of 2008.
All students completed a questionnaire about their experience
- I00% positive! - and about 25%
expressed an interest in learning
Cambodian dance. Fifteen students in the Fine Arts Academy
at Lowell High School participated in a 5-day residency where
they learned the history of Cambodia and Cambodian dance.

The Mekong-Merrimack bridge
becomes more solid, connecting our communities across
many kinds of distances, not
only geographical.
The partners that
put on the Cambodian rockopera Where Elephants Weep
in Lowell last year met this
June for the one-year anniversary of that event. The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the opera shocked
even its producers, who
watched the Lowell High
School auditorium fill up night
after night with people from
many parts of New England

and many walks of life.
A year later, at Tep
Thida restaurant on Chelmsford Street, producers, actors,
dancers, and others met to
revisit the wonder of last
year's collaboration, and to
talk about the future. The
Cambodian Arts Alliance unveiled a program of cultural
production goals for the next
three years.
Angkor
Dance
Troupe is delighted to play a
pivotal role in continuing artistic creation, across the Mekong-Merrimack bridge. We

are instrumental in commissioning a new work, the Apsara
Dancing Stones, a dance-drama
that brings the Apsara figure
out of the ancient Cambodian
past, and into the light of our
own time. This new work
shows her relevance today as
an icon that embodies peace
and beauty, harmony between
opposing forces and a respect
for the forces of nature and
humanity alike. We look forward to sharing this creative
process with many of last
year's partners and with new
artists and supporters along
the way.

Parents and Friends Learn Ancient Costuming Techniques
...

This spring, parents and friends of
the Troupe took part in our firstever workshops on Cambodian
cloth and costuming techniques.
Knowledgeable instructors, led by
Phousita Huy, rolled and squeezed
the cloth into the shapes that make
up the k'ben, one of the basic elements of the dance costume.
Parents and friends also
learned about different grades of

silk, how to care for the cloth, and
the kinds of performances associated with certain silks and patterns.
In another workshop, our presenters showed many examples of traditional Cambodian clothing and
spoke about cultural meanings of
certain colors and fashions.
Our participants
deepened their knowledge of
Cambodian culture and
spruced up their appearance

at the Cambodian New Year festivities. See page 2 for our next workshop series - this one on Cambodian cuisine. What better way to
bring your family closer to what is
beautiful (and delicious) in Cambodian culture?

Trailer for Sophileak: Unveiling the Magic and Mystery
Performance of “Sophileak” by Angkor Dance Troupe
Channa Sath as Sophileak (Female Deity)
Virginia Prak as Preah (Prince) Aunaruth
This story is about 2 lovers -- Princess Osa and Prince Aunaruth -- who
were separated by the gods. Sophileak, a female deity who took pity on
Princess Osa, went in search of Osa’s lover. She returned with portraits of
many princes she had encountered, but none of them were the right one.
The princess gave Sophileak her ring and scarf to continue on her search.
In this scene, Sophileak finally finds Aunaruth, who recognizes the perfume
on the scarf. Later, Sophileak will reunite the lovers.
