When we resettled in Lowell, Massachusetts we brought a passion to carry on our cherished t radit ions - to practice and perform, to teach others, and to see the art fo rm 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 Cambodian culture and help us develop a sense of home and community in a new homeland. ~ammoiuu1 8buby0~0t~1 mstuMimd ru fi.tYJMtlfiun Wtntlf btflb tlJ3lfUY1'\Jl § f!nutlfi'I -from Bonna Sam Mai & famil y (Dance Master Yorn Peng instructs Angkor Dance Troupe apprentice Brianna Mai.) 3 �Classical dance has been con nected to Cambodia's sacred rituals 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 - i Apsaras - which were believed <( to connect 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 roya lty. Today this cherished art is enjoyed by audiences around the w orld and is considered by many to be a symbo l of t he beauty and com pl exity of Khmer culture. 0 ~·&~eMIZQS~IZQr!runqmst.,e&""sse""!" 0 ·- - ' &r!rus~s""~~·i~~"""l""JielinsfJs&in Thank you for your continuing good work.

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. 5 �The Troupe takes its name from the great Angkor Civilization, between 802 and 1432 AD, when Cambodia was a dominant empire in Southeast Asia.

Since 1986, the Troupe has served approximately 350 young people, ranging in age from 4 to 18, who rigorously rehearse and participate in Troupe performances and events. Youth apprentices typically stay involved with the Troupe for at least 4 to 5 years, many even longer. In 1999, the Angkor Dance Troupe was selected for the prestigious Coming Up Taller award from the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts. The awards were presented to a select group of ten organizations across the nation to honor exemplary arts programs serving at-risk youth.

Nina Coppens, Ph.D. Evaluator, Angkor Youth Dance Professor, Psychology Department University of Massachusetts Lowell 16 �Angkor Youth Dance - A Community Partnership 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, Psychology Department of the UMass Lowell College of Arts and Sciences, Lowell Community Schools Program, E.N. Rogers School, Community Team work, Inc., Lowell office of DSS, and others. The Troupe helps young people make constructive choices in their lives by immersing them in rigorous, in-depth arts experiences. Over the years, we have witnessed firsthand the value of culturalbased arts programming for youth . We have had several apprentices, for example, who were involved in gang activities when they joined our program and have since left their street life behind to make remarkable progress in their academic and personal lives. Angkor's success with at-risk youth is a vivid example of the power of the arts to transform lives .

Continued Success To the Angkor Dance Troupe, Inc .... Best Wishes Armand P. Mercier City Councilor 31 �The Angkor Dance Troupe - A Look Back at 15 Years A key part of the Angkor Dance Troupe success story is the stead fast commitment and passion of co-founder Tim Chan Thou . Many people have made valuable commitments to the Troupe over the past 15 years. Among them are Sanara Chea, George Chigas, Sambath Fennell, Ravuth Yin, Ann Bartholomew, Phallik Ting, Thida Loeung, Carol Keirstead, Vuthy Chreck, Phousita Huy, and Sophorn Savunn, to name a few. But without the sustained dedication of Tim and his family, the Troupe would not have survived. Tim Chan Thou co-founded the Angkor Dance Troupe in 1986 Tim learned to dance in the Khao-1Dang refugee camp, inspired by his Grandmother, Peou Khatna, a former palace dancer. From early on, he earned a reputation for his commitment, talent, and ability to organize. He became certified as a teacher and emerged as a leader in the refugee camp dance movement when he moved to a resettlement camp in the Philippines. In Recognition of What My Friends Jane Benfey, Nina Coppens, Rady Mom, and Ruth Page do so Selflessly on Behalf of the Wonderful Angkor Dance Troupe. Steve Moses of the UMass Lowell Center for Health Sciences, Health Promotion and Public Health 32 �Good luck to the Angkor Dance Troupe! Best Wishes - The Spindle City Corps (978) 459-9899 X15 When Tim resettled in Lowell in 1982, community members sought him out to perform at Khmer New Year celebrations. Joined by fellow dancer Phallik Ting, Tim performed a few times a year around the A 1987 performance of the Fishing Dance. region. In the mid 1980's Tim connected with respected dance instructor Sanara Chea, and together they founded the Angkor Dance Troupe. "Our idea was to promote the culture and share our dance traditions with community," said Thou. "We had a core group of dancers and felt it was important to continue awareness of the cu lture.

The Angkor Dance Troupe in 1988. "It's really important that we pay respect to the traditions, the proper costuming . We need to preserve the culture - it's very fragile . So we make sure that we teach the proper way. It makes my heart happy to see young people today so involved. Now the children of some of my former students are joining . That seed that we planted for so many years is now growing and flourishing. I hope the role models take over in a few years. I think it's important that the culture doesn't fade out. The kids need to know our culture, the dignity of it, and understand where they come from. Even though many of t hem w ere born here, inside they have the blood of Cambodia" .

The company takes its name from the great Angkor civilization, between 802 and 1432Ad, when Cambodia was a dominant empire in Southeast Asia. Dance, music, and drama have always prominent in Khmer society, but these ancient traditions were nearly eliminated when the Khmer Rough controlled Cambodian in the 1970's. Artists were among deliberated targeted for execution, it is estimated that close to 90% of the country's tradition bearers perished. Angkor teachers and performs a body of work developed at the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUF A) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, considered the world's cultural source and standard bearer for traditional Cambodian arts. Angkor Artistic Director Mrs. Phousita Huy is master teacher and former faculty member of the Royal University of Cambodia and toured internationally as a principal dancer with the Classical Dance Company of Cambodia. Angkor is hosting two masters from RUF A, Mr. Sophea Sek and Mrs. Y om Peng, for extended residencies in 2001. These important teachers will appear with the Angkor Dance Troupe at performances throughout the year. In 1999, the Angkor Dance Troupe was among a select group of 10 organizations from across the country to receive the prestigious" Coming Up Taller" award from the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts. The award is the nation's top honor for exemplary arts programs that serve at-risk youth. Angkor's artistic excellence was again recognized by the NEA in 2000 with a grant from the" Creative Links: Positive Alternative for Youth" initiative. Cambodian Classical Dance Classical Cambodian dance has been connected to the sacred rituals of Cambodia for more than one thousand years. During the great Angkor civilization, dancers performed blessing ceremonies to bring prosperity to the Kingdom. More recently, classical dancers lived and performed in Cambodia's royal palace. Elegant and refined, Classical Dance combines highly stylized positions with gentle movements. Once reserved exclusively for Cambodia's elite, Classical dance is now performed for audiences around the world and has become a central symbol of the beauty and spirituality of Cambodian Culture. Cambodian Folk Dance Cambodian folk dance is rooted Cambodian and depicts rituals of everyday village life. The dancers honor skills are typically undervalued in the rush to westernization, such as fishing and rice farming. Dance motifs are commonly based on local legends and inspired by themes of natures as well as ceremonies and customs that shape the lives of the Khmer people. Just as classical dance is rules by a strict form and prescribed language of movement, folk dance is spontaneous, created for emotional expressions. Costumes are very colorful and reflect the traditional dress of the particular province or ethnic group within Cambodia where the dance s originate. �Angkor Dance Troupe, Inc. The Angkor Dance Troupe provides an essential service to the community not met by any other organizations. The Troupe is the only nonprofit cultural group in Lowell, MA, whose soul 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. The Drive to Preserve Traditions The Angkor Dance Troupe was formed in 1986, in Lowell, MA, by Mr. Tim Chan Thou, Angkor's Program Director, along with a small group of dancers who learned traditional Cambodian dance in refugee camps along the Thai-Cambodian border. They brought with them to the United States a strong desire to practice and perform Cambodian dance and a passion to teach others. Dance and its associated rituals and beliefs have become a way for Cambodian people to reconstruct a sense of community and culture, particularly for refugees who have resettled in other countries. Between 1975 and 1979, when Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge controlled Cambodia, more than 90% of the country's artists perished or fled. Today as Cambodia struggles to emerge from decades of war and poverty, the people look to the rebirth and recreation of dance as testimony to the endurance of their culture. Classical Dance - A Treasured Symbol of Cambodian Culture Classical or court dance is considered by many to be a universal symbol of Cambodian culture. It is a source of national pride for Cambodians, representing the beauty and spirituality of Cambodian people. The dance form is particularly meaningful for postwar Cambodians as they work to reclaim and rebuild a treasured heritage. Many first practiced or saw the art form in the refugee camps. For children born and raised in the camps or in other countries, it has become a connection to the past and a way to experience revered ancient traditions. Folk Dance - A Celebration of Traditional Ways of Life Folk dances are a way for displaced Cambodians to remember their homeland and to teach their children about the regional, agricultural, and social forces that shape the lives of Cambodia s rural population. From folk dances, young Cambodian-Americans learn about geography and a daily life �in Cambodia that they have never experienced. Carrying on the Tradition: Engaging our young people 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 assistance from teachers to achieve the correct postures and movement. Cambodian tradition prescribes a particular relationship between student and teacher, a relationship that is repeated between children and parents, young people and 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. The young people in the Dance Troupe, most of whom were born here in the U.S., have increasingly been asking for background on the dances and the history of Cambodia. In the recently-published book Fractured Identities, Cambodia s Children of War, a young CambodianAmerican man from Lowell suggests his primary source of information about Southeast Asia has been popular movies: "I saw Good Morning Vietnam with my uncle two or three times. We don't learn anything about the history of Cambodia in school here. Just Columbus ... who discovered America ... stuff like that it just doesn't go in my head." In response to the clear need for meaningful educational opportunities Angkor's Artistic Director, Phousita Huy, develops and presents workshops on Cambodian culture as part of her ongoing instruction. To encourage attendance and participation by the Cambodian community, these workshops will take place at sites within Lowell's Cambodian-American community. They are publicized via Khmer-language materials and media as well as through traditional forms of promotion. The Need for Master Teachers The technical mastery involved in Cambodian dance is considerable. Students must perfect an estimated forty-five hundred basic gestures and movements to perform certain dance pieces. Because of the losses suffered during the Khmer Rouge, the transmission of traditional knowledge is a crucial yet challenging process, particularly in communities that have resettled far from their homeland. �Dr. Sam-Ang Sam, a master musician and director of the Apsara Ensemble in Arlington, VA, writes: "The break in oral tradition has resulted in the loss of more than half of the oldest pieces that had previously been passed from generation to generation. In the US today there is a shortage of professional and knowledgeable artists ... this has endangered the preservation of technique, style, and repertory." Masters of Cambodian Dance - A Way to Build on Past Successes Phousita Huy and the other dance masters who work with the Troupe have specialties that allow the Troupe to develop dance forms not currently being taught to performance level. Say Seuar, for example, a professor at the University of Fine Arts, is considered one of the best instructors of the Monkey Dance in the world. The Monkey is a role in the Riemkee, Cambodia's version of the epic Indian tale, the Ramayana, from which many dances are derived. There is one particular dance called Swva Pol, which is performed by young boys. Because of its lively acrobatic style, it is a hugely popular dance at performances. However the lack of students skilled in the dance precludes its inclusion in many of the Troupes performances. As part of his master residency, Mr. Soy has held a series of classes on the monkey dance. Training by dance master Phousita Huy has greatly expanded the Troupe' s technical abilities as well as the dancers' understanding of the spiritual and ritual functions of dance in Cambodian culture. The power of the dance is in its cultural connection and the meaning behind the movement fundamental aspects of the art form which are not always comprehensively taught here in the U.S. Through her years of experience at the University of Fine Arts, Ms. Huy developed high standards of training and performance, as well as extensive knowledge ofrepertory, dance history, and cultural context. The Angkor Dance Troupe performed in April 1997 for a large multi-ethnic audience at a Cambodian New Year celebration at the Sheraton in Lowell. Because of the special expertise and teaching of Phousita Huy, the Troupe was able, for the first time, to present a performance of the Apsara Dance. The Apsara is a revered classical dance steeped in spiritual tradition and based on the sculptures that adorn the walls of Angkor Wat. After the performance, Cambodians in the audience approached members of the Troupe to express how deeply moved and impressed they were by the Apsara Dance and how grateful they were to be able to experience this type and caliber �of traditional Cambodian dance. The responsiveness of the community to the idea of partnering with master dancers is evident in the reaction to a major public event sponsored by the Lowell Cultural Council presented by the Troupe in May 1997. The Troupe hosted dance masters from around the U.S. who joined members of Angkor Dance in an elaborate public performance. The event was enthusiastically received by the community and is still being re-broadcast on Cambodian cable stations around eastern Massachusetts. The Troupe experienced a surge in membership after the performance and, for the first time in its history, had to create a waiting list of young people interested in learning to dance. For several years, The Angkor Dance Troupe has been selected for inclusion on the New England States Touring Roster, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts to help build support for New England s best performing artists. Additionally, the Troupe was selected for participation in NEF A's Ford Foundation-funded Newcomers Project on the basis of its artistic excellence and its potential for acting as a key Cambodian arts organization among the network of Cambodian communities throughout the region.

Since the Angkor Era, Cambodian dancers have preserved, cherished, and celebrated their art. The Angkor Dance Troupe develops and teaches the traditions of Cambodian performing arts, promotes an understanding and appreciation of Cambodian culture, and provides a positive social and educational outlet for Cambodian youth. The Troupe was founded in Lowell, MA, in 1986, by 8 incethe two teachers and a handful of dancers who learned Angkor Era, traditional dance in refugee camps along the Thai- Cambodian dancers Cambodian border. Between 1975 and 1979, when Pol have preserved, Pot and the Khmer Rouge controlled Cambodia, most cherished, and artists perished or fled the country. It was in the camps celebrated their art. and later in places like Lowell that Cambodian dance was painstakingly resurrected. Today, dance is one of the primary ways that Cambodian-Americans, split by politics and war, identify a common culture. For the people of Cambodia, art is the core of life, combining entertainment, tradition, religion, and social cohesion. �C lassical dance has been connected to the sacred rituals of Cambodia for more than 1000 years. During the great Angkor civilization, dancers performed blessing ceremonies in temples to bring prosperity to the kingdom. Once the exclusive domain of royalty, classical dance is now performed for audiences everywhere and has taken on new meaning for postwar Cambodians as they work to reclaim a treasured heritage. In classical dance, we see highly-stylized gestures in concert with gentle movements. Dancers spend countless hours perfecting the intricate hand positions and controlled postures that create the elegant Khmer classical dance aesthetic. �F olk dance is rooted in rural Cambodia and reflects the life and spirit of peasants. Throughout Cambodia, after the harvest, it is time for music, song, and dance. Dance motifs, commonly based · G!'..OR l )A r r r( & \: TROUPE Foll Dane<' on local legends, are inspired by themes of nature and the rituals of everyday village life. Distinctive, colorful costumes represent the traditional dress of peoples from the various regions within Cambodia. Just as Court Dance is ruled by a strict form and a prescribed language of movement, folk dance is lively and 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 L .r JL collected dances and music from the countryside and choreographed dances that were suited to stage performances. �History and culture come alive through modern interpretations of lively folk dance from rural Cambodia and dazzling renditions of classical court dance, an ancient tradition dating to the ninth century A.D. Based in Massachusetts, the Angkor Dance Troupe is recognized throughout New England as a leading Cambodian traditional arts ensemble. The organization comprises several master teachers and more than forty students.

Since the great Angkor Era, Cambodian dancers have preserved, cherished, and celebrated their art. S The Angkor Dance Troupe was founded in Lowell, MA in 1986 by ince the Angkor Era, Cambodian dancers two teachers and a handful of have preserved, dancers who learned traditional cherished, and dance in refugee camps along the celebrated their art. Thai-Cambodian border. Between 1975 and 1979, when Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge controlled Cambodia, more than 90% of the country's perished or fled. 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 the people of Cambodia, 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. 1 �A Leader in Traditional Cambodian Dance The Angkor Dance Troupe is nationally recognized as one of the most accomplished and experienced Cambodian traditional arts ensembles performing today. The Troupe develops and teaches the traditions of Cambodian performing arts, promotes an understanding and appreciation of Cambodian cu lture, and provides a positive social, cu ltural, and recreational outlet for Cambodian youth. The Angkor Dance Troupe is routinely invited to perform at presti- ' gious events such as Boston's First Night celebration and the Lowell Folk Festival. The Troupe has participated in workshops at Jacob's Pillow and is listed on the New England States Touring Roster Congratulations to Lowell's nationally recognized Dance Troupe! ~ ~ ~ ' 0 ~ij~G~e~ oG~S~~iG~itruffiiji~ff~i PAUL MARION & ROSEMARY NOON 2 �The Angkor Dance Troupe is recognized througout the country ilS a leading Cambodian Classical. and Folk Dance Ensemble. Above, members perform in a special ceremony at the Masuchusetts ~tate House in March 1998. The Troupe's artistic director, Phousita S. Huy, is one of the mostrespected master teachers of Cambodian dance in the U.S. and is recognized internationally. She is a recently-emigrated teacher and star performer from the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, considered the world's artistic standard bearer for Cambodian performing arts. Troupe coordinator and cofounder Tim Chan Thou was trained and certified as a teacher of Cambodian traditional dance at the Khao-1-Dang and Philippine Refugee Centers. Best Wishes from Dean Janice M. Stecchi College of Health Professions & Center for Health Promotion University of Massachusetts Lowell in anticipation of continued partnerships. 3 �I /1 lassical dance has been connected to the sacred rituals of l,; Cambodia for more than one thousand years. During the great Angkor civilization, dancers performed ceremonies in temples to bring prosperity to the kingdom. Once the exclusive domain of royalty, classical dance is now performed for audiences everywhere. In classical 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 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. 4 the leaf and �T hroughout 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, such as fishing and rice farming, that are typically undervalued in the rush toward westernization. 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 peoples from the various regions and ethnic groups within Cambodia. Just as court dance is ruled by a strict form and a prescribed language of movement, folk dance is spontaneous, created for emotional expressions. ~alkD11nes 5 �G~~ f;;;;1 " Gij SAFEWAY INSURANCE AGENCY L',a-r.nscdJ~msmrt~11mmnri1~ mm1fiws fffi fi: mnJfr:lnff Af3Jflf;/ sJ:5 difi n IJIJ e,,- l,4 -.

They provide sustenance to Khmer farmers and are abundant in villages. The dance was inspired by a popular game that used coconut shells. The game was played during all kinds of ceremonies, but most often during weddings, engagements, and when the groom was escorted in a procession to the bride's house. In its original form, it was a one-man show. In the modern-day dance, an equal number of male and female dancers performs the dance, signifying friendship and courtship. t;\•; l•1 t: Fi 1l ;t;1: ti 4 ol0 '/~ 1O OFF oooDF8R1veRs NO CLUB MEMBERSHIP NEEDED ,ONN ,.

Above the pair dazzled an audience in Cambridge during a performance .n January 1998. i 22 �Hanuman and Sovann Macha Hanuman & Sovann Macha (The White Monkey and the Golden Mermaid) depicts a scene from the Reamker, Cambodia's version of the Hindu epic Ramayana. Before this episode begins, the Queen was captured and taken to the kingdom of Lanka far out at sea. King Ream calls on a famous army general named Hanuman to help him rescue the queen. Hanuman is a white monkey and in Cambodian legend, white monkey warriors always fight evil. Hanuman sets about to build a bridge across the ocean to reach the Queen. But as fast as he and his army of monkeys pile up stones for the bridge, the stones mysteriously disappear. In the scene depicted in this dance, the white monkey dives into the sea to investigate. What he discovers is that a school of fish, led by a golden mermaid named Sovann Macha, has been carrying off the stones. Hanuman confronts the beautiful troublesome mermaid - at the same time he can't help but be dazzled by her beauty and falls in love. And while she initially resists, Hanuman eventually wins her over as his partner in the fight against evil. A tradition in the community since 1849.

The Battle at Night depicts a scene in which monkeys, who always fight evil, fight a group of demons. As night falls, neither side can tell friend from foe and chaos ensures. Finally, the monkeys use the weapon of light to prevail over darkness. Cambodians see this episode as an allegory for the battle against ignorance. (From the Classical Dance Company of Cambodia 1990 Tour) The Peacock of Pursat This dance originated in the Pursat provide of Cambodia where people of the Cardamom Mountain region performed dances for the spirits before going on trips to pick cardamom (a spice from the ginger family). Cambodia's lush tropical forests are home to a large variety of animals and birds, including numerous peacocks and peahens. Their fabulous green and black tail feathers bear the stamp of nobility. During the Peacock of Pursat dance, performers wearing headgear of peacock feathers represent pairs of peafowl as they play in the forest and float on the mountain breezes.

" The Fishing Dance demonstrates two of the traditional methods of catching fish, using bamboo baskets, called chhneang, and angrut, which are braided bell-shaped traps for catching larger fish in shallow water. Love and romance are favorite themes in folk dances. In traditional Cambodian society, young people are carefully watched and don't have many opportunities to get to know one another. But the fishing quarter is one place they had the chance to meet. The Fishing Dance shows how young people balance custom and courtship by the river's edge.

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. 1 �:i:: z .,,; 8 c: "' "' "' "' :i:: "' 0 IX) c: "' w "' ~ :J 0 u ~ .<= 0.. A classical dancer performs a ceremony in front of the Angkor Wat temple complex in the Siem Reap province of Cambodia. 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 wiped out 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 emerg'e 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 2 �The Angkor Dance Troupe plays an important role in Lowell. Greater Lowell is home to the second-largest community of Cambodian Americans in the country. Most residents are refugees who resettled here in the wake of the Khmer Rouge genocide. Cambodian dance performances provide a poignant reminder of the beauty and deep spirituality of Cambodian culture and help us develop a sense of home and community in our 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 Thai -Cambodian border, a war zone in 1983, dancers dodged artillery shells on the way to practice o r even during performances. Still they danced .. .And thousands showed up to watch, sometimes perching on bunkers to get a better view. " Happy New Year "!iiFi from Paul Marion & Rosemary Noon 3 2 �? A National Leader in Traditional Cambodian Dance The Angkor Dance Troupe is nationally recognized as one of the most accomplished and experienced Cambodian traditional arts ensembles performing today. The Troupe has appeared at numerous prestigious venues throughout the Northeast including First Night Boston, the National and Lowell Folk Festivals, the Berkshire Museum, Yale University, and the Merkin Concert Hall in New York City. The Troupe has participated in workshops at Jacob's Pillow and is listed on the New England Touring Roster. During 1998 alone, the Troupe appeared in 33 performances for combined audiences of more than 13,000 people. Troupe Artistic Director Phousita S. Huy is one of the world's mostrespected master teachers of Cambodian dance. Before joining the Troupe, she was a faculty member with the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, and she toured internationally as a principal with the Classical Dance Company of Cambodia. Troupe Coordinator and Founder Tim Chan Thou was certified as a teacher of Cambodian traditional dance at the Khao-1-Dang and Philippine Refugee Centers. 4 �T -- ENTERPRISE Gr BANK AND TRUST COMPANY ie~ Member A CERTIFIED SBA LENDER 0 LENDER FDIC ' m~ffi&\S;aj~~ Main Office and Trust Division 222 Merrimack Street • Lowell, MA 01852 • 978-459-9000 Branch Offices 674 Boston Road (Rte 3A) •Billerica, MA 01821 • 978-262-0123 185 Littleton Road (Rte 110) • Chelmsford, MA 01824 • 978-442-5588 1168 Lakeview Avenue• Dracut, MA 01826 • 978-957-5100 4 Central Street• Leominster, MA 01453 • 978-534-7400 910 Andover Street • Tewksbury, MA 01876 • 978-863-5500 Coming Soon: 23 7 Littleton Road, Westford Mortgage Lending Center 27 Palmer Street• Lowell, MA 01852 • 978-459-9000 The Troupe takes a bow after a peformance for Yale University in September 1998. 5 �lassical dance 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. Once the exclusive domain of royalty, classical dance is now performed for audiences everywhere. In classical dance, we see highly-stylized positions in concert with gentle movements. Gestures are strictly defined and distinguished by the intricacy of hand positions. Each gesture has a specific meaning, often relating to nature. For example "Lea" can denote a leaf, but it can also mean "to OP.en." (Right hand in photo.) Depending on its context within a can represent the leaf and its beauty or the opening of a hand or piece of paper. "Cheep" (left hand in photo) can symbolize a flower ..• or it can mean to fold into small pleats. 6 �,..,... hroughout Cambodia, after the harvest, it is time for I. music, son g, and dance. Folk dance is rooted in rural Cambod ia and depicts ritua ls of everyday vi ll ag e life. The dances honor skills that are t ypically undervalued in t he rush towa rd 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, colorfu l costumes represent the traditional dress and cloth worn the various regions and ethnic groups within Cambodia. Just as court dance is ruled by a strict form and a prescribed language of movement, folk dance is spontaneous, created for emotional expressions. folk Danell 7 �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. Best Wishes from Dean Janice M.

We have more than 40 students, ranging in age from 4 to 18, who rehearse together every week, perform on stage, and attend Troupe outings and events. Young people typically remain involved with the Troupe for at least four or five years, many even longer. Membership in the Troupe has always been free. Through interaction with dozens of inner-city youth over the years, the Angkor Dance Troupe has witnessed firsthand the value of culture-based arts programming in helping young people make constructive choices in their lives. We have had several students, for example, who were involved in gang activities when they first joined and who have since "disengaged" and are making remarkable progress in their academic and personal lives. Through their involvement in our program, young people develop a sense of discipline, self esteem, and a new-found respect for their heritage. In 1998, the Troupe launched Angkor Youth Dance, a very successful afterschool and summer youth program, with major funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council YouthReach Initiative. The program is operated in conjunction with community agencies including: DSS, the ADAM project of Big Brother/Big Sister, UMass Lowell, the Lowell Police Department, Community Teamwork, and the Lowell Community Schools.

In a culture that traditionally reveres elders for their experience and wisdom, the relationship between youth and parents has been seriously eroded by the massive cultural shift between life in rural Cambodian and life in urban America. Lowell's Cambodian-American children often serve as their parents' interpreters - of culture as well as language. Many young people feel torn between two worlds. Their elders expect them to demonstrate Cambodian values at home, while they behave as American teenagers at school. All too often, these young people seek affirmation and identity not at home or school - but through gang membership, dropping out of school, and other high-risk behaviors. There is growing evidence that in-depth exposure to traditional culture makes a significant difference in the emotional adjustment of Lowell's Cambodian American youth. In Fractured Identities: Cambodia's Children of War, a book that chronicles the lives of Lowell's refugee children, authors Joan Ross and Jim Higgins write "the search for identity within a new culture has taken young people in more than one direction. The paths they have chosen seem to depend on the individual's depth of exposure to traditional Cambodian culture. " 3 f;\lj (•JI: f\IJ :!;1: Ci 3 15 ,. HOllAll IONll 0L DOWN 70 PAYMENT We Can Help!

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. 3 �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 4 �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! from Paul Marion & Rosemary Noon 5 2 �e 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. 6 �louis l.

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. 8 �Best Wishes to the Angkor Dance Troupe and the Greater Lowell Cambodian Community Saints Memorial Medical Center Quality Care You Can Count On, Close To Home! ~ tt~t SAINTS MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER fJ _..

Continued Success To the Angkor Dance Troupe, Inc .... Best Wishes Armand P. Mercier City Councilor 15 �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. �Best Wishes to the Cambodian Community from STATE SENATOR Steven C.

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 & Family 21 �LocalNews Mofff 's Story For three years, Mony Srey was a hard-core member of a notorious street gang .

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.

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.

NANCY & RICHARD DONAHUE ~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. 5 �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 A dancer rehearses at the Royal University of F Arts, ine Phnom P enh, Cambodia.

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.

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.

During the performance, the dancers come forward and sprinkle flower petals toward the audience. This is done in the hope brining prosperity, peace, and good health to everyone in the audience. 2) The Coconut Shell Dance Dancers: Povtda Pech, Sodany Krouch, Paulina Srey, Linda Hong, Channa Sath Samnang Hor, Zenith Rith, Sanny Meas, Rothna Mao, Vyrik Eng The dance was inspired by a popular game that used coconut shells. The game was played during all kind of ceremonies, but most often during weddings, engagements, and when the groom was escorted in a procession to the bride's house. The Coconut Shell dance is one of the most popular and well known on the Cambodian folk dance. In its original form, it was a one-man show. In the modem-day dance, an equal number of male and female dancers perform the dance, signifying friendship and courtship. The Khmer-language lyrics, the words that accompany the song-speak to how the coconut is the heart of the Cambodian people. 3) Tep Monorom Dance (The Happiness of the Gods) Dancers: Linda Sou, Sophy Leng, Khakhada Hom, Elizabeth Yim Monica Veth, Sandra Proeung, Rancia Phin, Sopharl Ngin This dance, often considered the most beautiful in the classical repertory, embodies the wellbeing, friendship, and prosperity of the Cambodian people. 4) The Khen Dance Dancers: Rathanee Yean, Paulina Srey, Sodany Krouch, Channa Sath, Povtda Pech Sanny Meas, Peter Veth, Vyrik Eng, Steve Hom, Vandary Moeun The Khen Dance from a province of Cambodia located in the northeastern part on the CambodiaLoas border. Many young men from that part of the country play a musical instrument, a mouth organ called Khen, which is made of bamboo and decorated with a garland flowers. Men play their Khen to attract young passing by. The women can't resist so they touch the flowers and fall in love. 5) Mini Mekhala & Giant Dancers: Heng Noeuk, Linda Sou Moni Mekhala and Ream Eyso were at one time students of the same teacher and both strived very hard to be his best favorite. In the end, the teacher favored the goddess, Moni Mekhala, and rewarded her with a beautiful and very powerful crystal made fro the morning dew. The storm demon, Ream Eyso, was given an ax: as a consolation prize. As the dance begins, we see Moni Mekhala preparing to go out and dance with other Gods and goddesses in the heavens. But on her way, she is accosted by Ream Eyso, who is quite jealous and craves the powering glittering ball. P.O.

Then she tosses the crystal, momentarily blinding him. This ends Ream Eyso to his knees, giving her just enough time to glide away. It is said that the flash of Moni Mekhala' s crystal is what we know as lighting, and the crashing of Ream Eyso' s ax is thunder. This is one of the most sacred dances in the Cambodian Classical repertoire and is still performed in Cambodian in ceremonies to pray for rain. 6) The Fishing Dance Dancers: Khakhada Horn, Sopharl Ngin, Sophy Leng, Monica Veth, Elizabeth Yim Samnang Hor, Vyrik Eng, Peter Veth, Jamie Rin, Steve Horn There's saying in Cambodia "Where there is water, there are fish." In this dance you will see two traditional methods of catching fish, using braided bamboo baskets Called CIIlINEANG In this dance you'll see young women scoop up water from the river into their Chhneng. The baskets act as strainers-the water drains out through the bamboo leaving small fish in the basket. And the guys use bell-shaped traps called ANGKUT For catching large fish in shallow water. Love and romance and favorite themes in Khmer stories and dance. In traditional Cambodian society, young people are careful watched and don't have many opportunities to get to know one another. But the fishing quarter is one place they had the chance to meet. 7) The PestleDance Dancers: Sophy Leng, Vyrik Eng, Linda Hong, Paulina Srey, Sokhoeum Khim, Zenith Rith Povtda Pech, Sandra Proeung, Sodany Krouch, Rathna Mao, Channa Sath, Peter Veth The pestle dance is depicted that celebrated the hard work of the harvest season. 8) The Swva Pol with DNC Dance Dancers: Samnang Hor, Vyrik Eng, Jamie Rin, Steve Horn In Cambodian legend, monkeys always fight evil; in fact they are army solders . And these solders are celebrating a bid win. They're gathering food for a feast. The monkey dance is lively and acrobatic, always performed by young boys, who you will see also capture the spirit and quick mannerisms of monkeys. Following the original dance, the Troupe will feature some new choreography with elements of modem dance. But if you watch carefully, you will see the dancers remain, throughout it all, Swva Pol, the monkeys. P.O.

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. �PAGE 2 / - ------------------------ ' 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.

The Sampao Meas Hall of the Sunnyda Restaurant on Chelmsford Street echoed with the sounds of thousand year old Khme r melod ies and rythym, accompanied by the graceful and polished gestures of the Troupe's young dancers, and also with the sounds of the more contemporary Nasty Band all of this punctuated by applause ago is rare enough, but to have them aligned with present-day aesthetics, is truly unusual.

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. ~----------------------------- I I I I I I I I I I I 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 for thei r heritage and trad itional arts really Troupe Members, NPS's Duey came through .
