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.

A Generation ofTrust. A Lifetime of Support. Since that day long ago when children gathered their nickels and pennies to save for a better future, the mission of Jeanne D'Arc was put into action. For 100 years, we have been fully involved in this community and in helping the people who live, work and go to school here, pursue opportunities and fulfill dreams. It is our past It is our present. And it is our future. JOIN US AND BE A PART OF THE NEXT 100 YEARS. WeShareACommonThread.org As a community partner, Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union is proud to support the Angkor Dance Troupe. I �l a la Sponsors Nancy & Richard Donohue Foundation . �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! Tim Thou Founder & Director Phousita Huy Artistic Director Linda Sou President of the Board �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.

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:' �Contributor Sponsors. ,.w,m ,_, ~ swwws ,,_., Engineering a Sustainable Future Dorcas Grigg St. Onge Saito Supply, Co.

It adapts the Hindu ideas to Buddhist themes and shows the balance of good and evil in the world. Reamker Program Scene I: Krong Reap sees Preah Ream and Neang Seda Scene II: Preah Ream follows the Golden Deer Scene III: The Abduction of Neang Seda Scene IV: Preah Ream and Preah Leak calls for Hanuman Scene V Kingdom of Langka Scene VI Hanuman and Sovann Macha Scene VII Neang Seda and the Test of Fire �Rea,nter Att5k or Oa ttc:c TrOl-fpc, lttc:. w1mrl URS 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. 4 �• Characters Att5lwr D,M1C£ Trow!"!, lttc. 1.~\f$£0$0£f Preah Ream, is the main protagonist of the epic.

T'a rysi (Hermit) - Krong Reap transforms into an old hermit to disguise his true identity in order to capture Neang Seda. Hanuman (General White M()nhy), helps rescues Neang Seda.

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. 6 �Rea,nffer Atts)«.or OattC£ Trol-tpe, lttc. 1.ffSHti'lff~f 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. 7 �At1$kor Oat1cie: Trowpc. lt1c. 1.!'1UfID$$£f sova1111 Ma,1ha Spo11sors Lowell General Hospital is proud to sponsor the Angkor Dance Troupe, Inc. ~ Lowell General Hospital '-.,./' Complete connected care= GALLAGHER & CAVANAUGH LLP COUNSELLORS AT LAW 8 �Sora1111 Ma,;ha Sponsors Anskor Oa-=< Trow~. lttc. 1.'1SHs.1ff£f INSURANCE AGENCY How- can w-e help you?

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." 5 �AH5kor D~ttcc PRDGRilM Tr.:mpe. lttc. w~md"£' 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 6 �PROGRAM Att5kor o~,.,ce Trowpc. lttc. ~l$fm~~f Pin Panhchapor Program: The Angkor Dance Troupe is proud to present Pin Panhchapor, a play inspired by the wall carvings on Angkor Wat and Bayon.

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.

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.

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." 27 �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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. 2 �classi<;: 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. 3 �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. ~alkD11nes 4 �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. �Phalik Ting (left) and Thida Loeung at a recent performance in Boston.

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.

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.

With respect and appreciation1 we give them our thanks.

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. COMPARE OUR MORTGAGE RATES WITH OTHERS!

Foll- Dane<' 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. +- Fred C.

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.

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. 22 �Happy New Year to the Cambodian Community from l(ris Niccoli 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. f;\li l•l I: fill :?;1: ti 4 1 0 '·HONAN 'OMN Olo '/' OFF oooDF8R1vERs NO CLUB MEMBERSHIP NEEDED INSURANCE AGENCY 421 CHELMSFORD IT., LOWELL (NEXT TO WENDY'I) TEL. 454-0402 23 �•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• • Special Thanks to Our Dedicated Staff & Board of Directors • Chhan D.

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 Hom, Sopharl Ngin, Sophy Leng, Monica Veth , Elizabeth Yim Samnang Hor, Vyrik Eng, Peter Veth, Jamie Rin, Steve Hom 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 CHHNEANG 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 Hom 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.

INTRODUCTION Dance, Drama, and Music have always been prominent in Khmer Society, but these cherished traditions were nearly wiped out when the Khmer Rouge controlled Cambodia in the 1970’s. Artists among those deliberately targeted. More than 90% perished or fled. Today, as Cambodians around the world work to rebuild, the people see the resurrection of their music and dance as testimony of the endurance of their culture. Folk Dance The Angkor Dance Troupe was formed in 1986 in Lowell by two dance teachers and a handful of dancers who had learned traditional Cambodian dance in the Thai refugee camps. When they came to live in Lowell, they brought a passion to continue these cherished traditions, to practice and perform, to teach others, and to see the art form preserved for future generations. It was a way to keep part of their heritage alive, to remember their homeland and to teach their children. Cambodian Folk Dance Cambodian folk dance is rooted in rituals of everyday village life. The dancers honor skills that are typically undervalued in the rush towards to westernization, such as fishing and rice farming. Dance motifs are commonly based on local legends and inspired by themes of nature as well as ceremonies and customs that shape the lives of the Khmer people. Just as classical dance is ruled 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 dances originate. �Classical Dance Cambodian Classical Dance Blessing 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. The Blessing Dance Classical Dance Sovann Machha or Golden Mermaid and White Monkey Dance The Blessing Dance was first performed in Cambodia to rid the palace of bad spirits and to bless the kingdom. Today the blessing dance is performed at the beginning of all types of performances and ceremonies – special occasions like this one – to bless the event and welcome honored guests. During the performance, the dancers come forward and sprinkle flower petals toward the audience. This is done in the hope of bringing you peace, prosperity, and good health. Hanuman & Sovann Macha or “The White Monkey and the Golden Mermaid” classical Dance Our next dance is a classical dance called: Hanuman & Sovann Macha “The White Monkey and the Golden Mermaid”  The dance also depicts a scene from the Reamker,  It is a story involving capture and rescue.  Before this episode begins, the queen was captured, abducted to the kingdom of Lanka far out at sea. The King calls on a famous army general named Hanuman to help him rescue the queen.  Hanuman and his army of monkeys set about to build a bridge across the ocean so the King and his soldiers can march over to rescue Queen.  But as fast as Hanuman and his army of monkeys pile up stones for the bridge, the stones mysteriously disappear. They work from morning to night, but when they go back out the next day, their work is destroyed.  The monkeys dive into the sea to investigate. What they discover is that a school of fish, led by a golden mermaid named Sovann Macha, has been carrying off the stones in an act of playful �vandalism. Phoung Neari Dance Hanuman confronts the beautiful troublesome mermaid Sovann Macha – at the same time he can’t help but be dazzled by her beauty and falls in love. And while she initially resists, Hanuman uses a variety of tactics to get her attention and win her over as his partner in the fight against evil. Phuong Neary Dance classical Dance Because of Cambodia’s climate, there are beautiful tropical flowers throughout the countryside. In our next performance, Phuong Neary, a beautiful classical dance, the dancers symbolize blossoming flowers. Fan Dance Through this dance, we seek happiness in a new beginning, just as the budding flower is about to blossom. We ask for health and peace for all people, far and near. The Fan Dance classical Dance Apsara Dance This dance is invented in order to glorify His majesty the King, for all the glory, peace, security, prosperity, and grace under his royal governing of the Kingdom of Cambodia. People are singing, praising, and rejoicing under his reign, praying for the omnipotent Gods to continually blessing His majesty the King and his reign will be lasted forever. Fanning out means getting rid off bad spirits and fanning in means bringing peace, prosperity, and good health to all audiences. The Apsara Dance Classical Dance One of the prominent origin myths in Cambodia suggests the line of Khmer descended from the union of “Mera,” a celestial dancer, and “Kambu,” a wise man. The following is quoted from “Dance in Cambodia” by Toni Samantha Phim & Ashley Thompson. “An invocation of the mythical founders of Cambodia is part of a long Sanskrit poem that was inscribed on a stone temple doorway an Angkor in the tenth century AD. “Looking to ancient bas-reliefs for inspiration, court dance masters in the mid-twentieth century created the Apsara dance. Surrounded by four or six dancers crowned with elaborate golden headdresses, the central figure, the Apsara Mera, leads her coterie on an outing to a selectable garden. “The Apsara Dance was created for the modern stage out of an ancient tradition. While it is not overtly ritual in nature, by exploiting the �deliberate and subtle flow of movement in the classical tradition, the dance maintains an intense ritual-like atmosphere. The formalized…poses of classical dance recall the virtuosity of Angkorian sculptors in representing figures in space. The Apsara Dance, in its explicit reference to Angkor Vat’s bas-reliefs, gives body to an association latent in all classical dances, which is the tension between earthly grounded and ethereal lightness, evinced in a strong vertical pull, weight low and centered, balanced by movement across a horizontal plane. Tep Monorom Dance Chhoy Chhay Dance “Queen Sisowath Kossamak Nearyrath Norodom Sihanouk’s mother was the inspiration behind the genesis of the Apsara Dance in the 1950’s.” Tep Monorom Dance (The Happiness of God & Goddess Dance) classical Dance Cambodian classical dance has been connected to the sacred rituals of Cambodia for more than 1000 years. Classical dancers used to perform in Cambodian’s great temples in ceremonies to appease the Gods and, more recently, for the King and his family in the royal Court – classical dance is sometimes called court dance or royal ballet. There was a time classical dances were performed only for royalty but today these dances are performed for audiences around the world and have come to be seen as a symbol of the beauty and complexity of Cambodian culture. The dance also provides an interesting study in the different dance roles of Cambodian classical dance. Classical dance has been historically a women’s art form – even when dances have both male and female roles. That’s the case here with Tep Menorom. It will be very clear to you which dancers are playing the Male roles by their costumes. What’s more subtle is how the gestures and the dance moves are different depending on the role of the dancer. Please welcome the Tep Monorom Dance. Chhouy Chhay Dance Classical Dance Cambodian classical dance is an exquisite art form involving hundreds of complex gestures and the impossible curving back of fingers and other joints. Classical dancers used to perform in Cambodia’s great temples in ceremonies to appease the Gods and more recently for the King and his family and special guests in the royal Court. There was a time when these beautiful dances were reserved exclusively for royalty and Cambodia’s elite, but today they are �performed for audiences around the world and are a symbol of the beauty and spirituality of Khmer culture. Chhouy Chhay is called the adolescent princess. (*Phoenitic: Choy (rhymes with Joy) Chai (rhymes with lie)) The choreography for Chhoy Chhay was commissioned by one of Cambodia’s ruling queens in the early 1960’s for her grand daughter, the Princess Bopha Devi. Princess Devi, once a world-renowned classical dancer, is now Cambodia’s minister of culture. Sentimental Expressions Dance It’s interesting to note the choreography was created by Chea Samy, (CHEE-a – like the pets, sa-MEE) who was the most senior dance master to have survived the Pol Pot regime. Her story is detailed on one of the panels in the exhibit in the hall of the Mogan Cultural Center. Like many dancers, Chea Samy hid her identity in order to survive in the Khmer Rouge labor camps. She worked as a dish washer by day. But by night, under the cover of darkness, she would practice the intricate hand gestures of her art so as not to forget. The sentimental expressions dance. Classical Dance This is a classical dance. Like most Cambodian classical dances, the Sentimental Expression dance is performed only by young women (two in this case) one plays the role of a young woman, other plays the role of a young man   Boung Soung Dance Costumes are positively regal. This dance is often performed for special ceremonies and to welcome honored guests Part of what makes Cambodian classical dance unique is the gestures. These gestures are the language of the dance - they tell a story. Cambodian dancers, from a very young age, Rehearse for countless hours to perfect hundreds of these gestures work incredibly hard to achieve remarkable flexibility in their hands and other joints This dance tells the story of a prince and princess. The princess enters a garden and picks a flower. The prince sees hers and falls in love with her. After a time, the princess has to return to the palace. She is sad and she cries. The prince comforts her and tells her he will be returned. Robam Boung Soung Dance Classical Dance The Yorkorn Dance is performing to ask for rain, peace, and prosperity during war and famine. It can be performed by one person or as a group as desire. The central dancer, always dressing in white, �Neang Neak Dance represents purity. This dance is created by Neak Kru Mam Yinyan. Neang Neak Dance Classical Dance Moni Mekhala & Ream Eyso Dance This dance is choreographed according to the legend of the present Kingdom of Cambodia. Prince Preah Thong, son of the earth kingdom, met Princess Neang Neak, daughter of the sea kingdom, on one of the isolated islands during one of his evening promenades. The dance is selected from the scene where the Princess Neang Neak visited the island with her servants. At the end, as the legend continued, the couple married. As a gift for the new couple, the sea king magically created a new island that is known presently as the Kingdom of Cambodia. “Moni Mekhala and Ream Eyso” is the age-old Cambodian fable of thunder and lightning. Classical Dance Moni Mekhala and Ream Eyso were at one time students of the same teacher and both strived very hard to be his favorite. In the end, the teacher favored the goddess, Moni Mekhala, and rewarded her with a beautiful and very powerful crystal made from the morning dew. The storm demon, Ream Eyso, was given an ax as a consolation prize. Reamker (Story) 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. A confrontation ensues. Ream Eyso alternates between: force – knocking her down and persuasion – putting away his ax and pleading. Moni Mekhala teases him by holding the ball out very close. Then she tosses the crystal, momentarily blinding him. This sends Ream Eyso to his knees, giving her just enough time to glide away. Ream Eyso is not down for long though; he gets back up and eventually will resume this eternal battle with Moni Mekhala. It is said that the flash of Moni Mekhala’s crystal is what we know as lightning, and that 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 Cambodia in ceremonies to pray for rain.

ReamLak-Chublak Story Ream Lak & Chup Lak Story Classical Dance Sita, the princess is living in exile in the forest with her son and hermit, a wise wizard. She sets out to bathe one morning, leaving her sleeping son Reamlak with the hermit. On her way to the pond, she spots a female monkey, and she notices the monkey carried her young with her where ever she goes. Sita feels guilty about leaving her own son behind and goes back and gets him. The hermit is in a deep meditation and doesn’t notice Sita come back and take Reamlak. When he discovers the child is gone, he panics and fears Sita’s anger. So he takes Reamlak’s pillow and scrapes off some remnants of dead skin – some DNA – and fashions a new child – an identical clone of Reamlak. Imagine Sita’s surprise when she returns from bathing and finds that Reamlak now has a twin. The hermit names the new boy Chuplak. They decide the two boys will study together and for the next seven years, they study magic with the hermit -As this episode begins, 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 capitol city. The Prince, Rama, 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 catch 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 �Yor Kon Dance or Boung Soung Dance Swva Pol Swva Pol w/American Break Dance Sek Sarika Dance Butterfly Dance (Classical) Butterfly Dance (Folk) years of training in magic, the boys are just too powerful and crafty. They in fact capture Hanuman, tie him up, and before sending him back to Rama, they take resin from a tree and write a letter on his face that says no one, except Hanuman’s master, Prince Rama 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. Robam Boung Soung or Yorkorn Dance is performing to ask for rain, peace, and prosperity during war and famine. It can be performed by one person or as a group as desire. The central dancer, always dressing in white, represents purity. Please welcome the Boung Soung dance SWVA POL — The Monkey Dance Classical Dance This is an excerpt from a famous Cambodian legend called the Reamker, (Ree-um-KAY) which is a long story that would take three days to tell. Many Cambodian classical dances come from this tale. In Cambodian legend, monkeys always fight evil, in fact they are army soldiers. And these soldiers are celebrating a big 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 spirits and quick mannerisms of monkeys. The Swva Pol w/ American Dance Classical Dance In Cambodian legend, monkeys always fight evil; in fact they are army soldiers. And these soldiers are celebrating a win. They’re gathering food for a feast. The dance is lively and acrobatic, always performed by young boys, who you will see capture the spirit and quick mannerisms of monkeys. Following the original dance, the Troupe will feature some new choreography with elements of modern dance. But if you watch carefully, you will see the dancers remain, throughout it all, Swva Pol, the monkeys. No description found in file The Butterfly Dance-Classical Classical Dance Butterfly is one of the most graceful creatures that is spending time flying and roaming around garden with beautiful flowers. This choreographic dance represents the play and courtship of butterflies during a beautiful afternoon. The Butterfly Dance Folk Dance This dance starts on a beautiful sunny day in Cambodia, when a group of young boys set out to hunt for butterflies. Anyone ever caught a butterfly with a net? �Coconut Dance Well these boys captured some in their nets. But when the poor creatures, trapped in the boys’ nets, beg for mercy –– they let them go. And so, the Butterfly Dance symbolizes both the curiosity and the compassion of Cambodian people. The boy has graceful gestures and polite manner. They are willingness and they always help and support one another. Above all, the desire to live in peace and harmony. The Coconut Dance Folk dance The country of Cambodia is near the equator, and because of this, the climate is very warm. We never have winters in Cambodia. In fact, there are just two seasons, the rainy season and the dry season. Because of this warm climate, you see Coconut trees throughout Cambodia. After the meat of the coconut is carved out, Cambodian people often save the shells, polishing them and using them for many things in their homes. 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. Bopha Lokei Dance The Coconut Shell dance is one of the most popular and well known of the Cambodian folk dance. In its original form, it was a one-man show. In the modern-day dance, an equal number of male and female dancers perform the dance, signifying friendship and courtship. The Khmer-language lyrics to the words that accompany the song, speak to how the coconut is the heart of the Cambodian people. BOPHA LOKEY - "Flowers of the World" Classical Dance This next performance is called "Bopha Lokey" (bow-PAH low-KY) This stands for “Flowers of the World" This dance was originally performed in Cambodia in honor of National Children's Day. It's designed specially for young dancers to gain experience in movement and the rhythm of the classical orchestra. I'll read some excerpt from the lyrics which accompany the dance – loosely translated from Khmer: Naturally the flower of the world everyone wants to have to adorn oneself because of its sweet fragrance Creates bliss. �Everyone always admires the flower the bumblebees in the garden surrounding all over to pick the nectar. Neari Chea Chour Dance Phoung Neari Dance This dance is being performed today by two of the youngest girls in the youth program - with a special guest appearance from the youngest performing member of the Angkor Dance Troupe who is three years old. The Neary Chea Chour Dance Classical Dance The image of the Cambodian woman has always been compared to the celestial goddesses on the walls of the great temples Angkor Wat. The pleasant smile and distant gaze serve as a shining example for Cambodian women. Neary Chea Chour, as they are called, symbolizes water, cleanliness and the fluidity of the virtuous females. “To be an improper woman is to cease to be Khmer, and given Khmer notions of the centrality of Khmer, to cease to be Khmer is to cease to be fully human”, as The lyric describe .She is required to speak softly, walk lightly and be well-mannered at all times. Phoung Neary Dance Classical Dance Because of Cambodia’s climate, there are beautiful tropical flowers throughout the countryside. In our next performance, Phoung Neary, a beautiful classical dance, the dancers symbolize blossoming flowers. The Bird Dance (Dove) Through this dance, we seek happiness in a new beginning, just as the budding flower is about to blossom. We ask for health and peace for all people, far and near. The White Bird Dance Classical Dance Nina Touch, Robin Wilson, Judith Wilson, Krissandra Mai, Celena Mai, Alexandra Mai, Romni Chum, Vanny Nelson, Isabel Claflin, Sopheanee Khoeun Tiva Propey Dance The Preap or White Bird Dance in Cambodia, the dove represents peace, as it does in many other parts of the world.

The Tivia Propey Dance Classical Dance Tiva Propey was originally performed in Cambodia in honor of National Children's Day. It is designed to give young dancers experience in movement and the rhythm of the classical orchestra. The song and dance describes solidarity, nationalism, and also, the children’s joyous day. �Kom Rong Phar Dance The Robam Komrong Phka Dance Classical Dance Robam Komrong Phka is a classical dance that had been choreographed in 1985 by a group of artistic masters from the Royal University of Fine Arts, Phnom Penh City, Cambodia. Fishing Dance The beautiful flowers, turning softly through the rhythmic gestures of the dancers, represent the prosperity and blossoming growth of the Cambodian cultures. Moreover, it signifies the wish and desire of the Cambodians as well as the other nations of the world for the everlasting peace, freedom, love and solidarity. Fishing Dance Folk Dance 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 Chhneang. In this dance you’ll see young women scoop up water from the river into their Chhneang. 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 are 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. Khen Dance or Mouth Organ Dance Good Crops Dance At the beginning of the dance, you’ll see young men coming down to the river from one side and women from other. You’ll notice how happy and excited they are when they see each other. As they fish, they flirt with each other. The boys playfully snatch the girls’ fishing baskets. When the other leave, one young couple stays behind and falls in love. At the end the dance, the others return to tease and congratulate them. The Khen Dance Folk Dance The Khen (mouth organ) Dance is originated from one of Cambodian provinces, locating in the northeastern part on the Cambodia-Laotian borders. It has begun as young men from that part of the country are playing a musical instrument, a mouth organ known as Khen, which is made of bamboo and decorated with garland flowers. Men are playing their Khen to attract passing by young and beautiful women. The women cannot resist the seductive sound of the Khen and they are reaching to touch the flowers. As they are doing so, the magical flowers cause to fall in love. The Good Crops Dance Folk Dance �Picking Krovann Dance Magic Scarf Dance Throughout Cambodia, after the harvest, it is a time for song and dance. The good crops dance, celebrates the hope for a good rice harvest. The dance shows a scene where farmers are choosing the fields for their crops. The dance is using poles to make holes for the rice plants. Picking Krovann Dance Folk Dance Picking Krovann dance is a traditional folk dance of the Por tribe, which lived in the Pursat Province of Cambodia. The dance demonstrates the tradition of farmers who each year would embark on a long journey - 3 to 6 months long - to pick Krovann, which is a spice or a medicinal herb found in the distant mountains. Before the journey, the Por villagers gathered for a big ceremony to pray and offer foods to the spirits – in the hopes of good weather for their harvest journey and protection from evil spirits. The Magic Scarf Dance Folk Dance Our last dance for this evening is called “The Magic Scarf Dance.” There was a kingdom in Southeast Asia known as Champa. After the Cham civilization was overrun, some of the people resettled in small communities in Cambodia. The Cham are Muslim people, where most of Cambodia s Buddhist. This dance is performed as a way to remember and honor the Cham people. The Magic Scarf dance depicts the Cham custom of Courtship between men and women. Cham women are shy so they wear scarves to cover over their heads. They believe in magic and spells, especially for choosing their partners. The girls in the dance use their magic scarves to magically their lovers. Harvest Dance Peacock of Porsat Dance The Harvest Dance Folk Dance The harvest dance is performed to reflect Khmer peasant activities from planting rice to harvesting it and showing joyfulness after all the hard work has been completed. The movements are soft and slow. The dance is composed of graceful bending, swaying, and turning and is accented by stamping feet. The movements show the actual process of planting and harvesting rice as well as the happiness the people get from their productive crops. The dance is said to reflect the Khmer peasants’ lives by means of music and song, agricultural tools, national dress, ad movements and gestures that can immediately be recognized. The Peacock of Porsat Dance Folk Dance �Our next dance the Peacock of Porsat, originated in the Porsat province of Cambodia. The people of the Cardamom Mountain region would perform dances for the spirits before going on trips to pick cardamom, which is a spice from the ginger family. This part of Cambodia has lush tropical forests that are home to a large variety of animals and birds, including numerous peacocks and peahens. Peacock of Pailin Dance The birds’ green and black tail feathers bear the stamp of nobility. During the dance, performers wearing headgear of peacock feathers represent pairs of peafowl as they play in the forests and mountains. Peacock of Pailin Dance or Ka-ngaok Pailin (Pailin Peacock) Folk Dance Tbal Kdoeung Dance This traditional dance comes from the Kola ethnic group, who live in the region of Pailin in the west of Cambodia. The dancer relates to a Pailinian legend about a magic peacock that goes to preach to the King. The lively dance is about commemorating this peacock which is a symbol of happiness. The dance imitates the peacock with lively colors of beautiful wings, and suggests a courting scene between a peacock and a peahen. The dance is said to bring happiness and prosperity to villagers, and is often performed during the New Year and ritual ceremonies in times of drought to pray for rain. Tbal Kdoeung – The Rice Harvesting Dance Folk Dance Kroma Dance Tbal Kdoeung is a dance about harvesting rice that comes from the northern part of Cambodia. It demonstrates how Khmer farmers processed rice after it was brought in from the fields. The dancers show how farmers break the rice chaff with wooden mallets and winnow, or separate, the rice from the chaff by rotating it in baskets. In a comic scene near the end, a peace-loving palm juice vendor happens on the scene to offer juice to the thirsty workers, creating lighthearted tension between the male and female workers. The Krama or Kromar Dance Folk Dance It is too hard to understand how this Cambodian scarf became a real symbol over generations and a major part of the Khmer identity. Nowadays, whatever his social status may be, every Cambodian uses Krama everyday whether it is as a scarf, as a hammock for babies, or as a bandana. So, as you can see, Krama is a symbol in Cambodia and represents its legacy. Krama (Kromar) is engaged in continuing this legacy for generations all over the world.

These tragic stories have made the dangerous journey from the Killing Fields of Cambodia, to the makeshift shelters along the Cambodian-Thai border, to the Refugee Holding Centers in Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia, and finally to communities in countries around the world, where traumatized Cambodian refugees resettled , seeking freedom and opportunity. The poems were handwritten by the late Venerable Ly Van , who was a survivor of the Cambodian holocaust and a refugee himself. They are beautifully written , poignant, and filled with richness of Cambodian culture and history. "O! Maha Mount 'Vangrek: Poetry of Cambodian 'R.ef ugee experiences" book is a testament to the hardship and ugliness of war, as well as to the resilience of the survivors who have struggled for the past thirty years to find peace in their hearts, justice for those lost, and healing for the Cambodian survivors and refugees themselves. Special book signing by editor/publisher, Samkhann C. Khoeun , along with special presentation by two Cambodian artists, Ms. Srey Peov Phoeun and Mr. Sinat Nhek will be held on Friday, April 9, 2010 from 6:15 pm at Sompov Meas Hall in Lowell, Massachusetts. �0 1!1gsmf4~t Att5kor Dattcc Troupc, lttc. iii>1iUSS:QS~~S~~ & nsji&'\SG~&'\55 KHMER NEW YEAR CELEBRATION & BANQUET 1',.J llJfi.!Lfi sg 5im1f01 w1:10~0 Ci 0 "' Friday, April 9, 2010 N ~ : oo~u - ~l:l : oornunu; 6:00 PM - 12:00 Midnight SOMPOV MEAS HALL - 450 Chelmsford Street; Lowell, MA.

After being reunited wit h h e r famil y , she h e aded back to her birthplace, Phnom Pe n h Ci t y . Her dream of royal court ballet in her childhood remaine d ali ve in her heart. After several scrutinies, she finally wa s admitt e d to University of Fine Arts at the early of 1980. She gradu a t e d in 1 989 .

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. 6 �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. 7 �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. 8 �_.._ .... ..... _...... ... ...... ·-__ .._ .......

Now, 30 years later, what began as an idea in the basement of a home has grown to an organization of 10 dedicated staff and over 100 volunteers. Nationally recognized as one of the most accomplished U.S.-based Cambodian traditional arts ensembles, the Troupe is directed by world-renowned master teachers and performs a body of work developed by the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Cambodian culture continues to thrive here in Lowell through the generations of students who have been enfolded into the journey ADT has travelled. Each year over 20,000 people enjoy performances by ADT, which also reaches over 1,000 through a quarterly newsletter, and in the past 30 years ADT has instructed over 4,500 youth in classical Cambodian dance and arts. We continue to receive national attention, including recognition by the National Endowment of the Arts, a performance at the White House, a major role in the award-winning documentary Monkey Dance, and television segments on the Travel Channel with Andrew Zimmerman, WGBH's Neighborhood Kitchens, and Chronicle. The ADT youth of the past have become today's leaders, and they carry with them the legacy of the magnificent Cambodian culture of performing arts. To celebrate this milestone, ADT's anniversary celebration on April 7, 2017 will establish an endowment to ensure that today's youth will become future leaders of the community, overcoming challenges with creativity and innovation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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? INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Follow the 3 Fibre: Mip-ating Silk MerrimackMekong Bridge is Strengthened 2 Empowermend South- 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. 2 Over 2000 Lowell students enjoy NEA-funded workshops east Asian Women and Girls Get a Boost NEW 3 Pins and Folds 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. �PAGE ------------------------- ' 2 Merrimacl(-Mel(ong Bridge Strengthened ' I' ,._____' ., i -Willi •• =~r- . __ .. ·--·- . ~ Tl John Burt and Samkhann Khoeun with framed poster of the show 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. _____ ,,,, ----------Empowerment for Southeast Asian Women and Girls ·.-, --• ~, 4 .

The Troupe and Museum have collaborated in the past and now plan a joint workshop and exhibit featuring the brilliant golds, blues, purples and greens of classical and folk dance cos tu mes. The beauty and the learning don 't stop there - the two institutions will invite audiences to engage with the dramatic stories behind the costumes, and with the silken threads that literally constitute them. The ATHM deepens our understanding of how plants and other fibres become the textiles we use in our daily lives - this collaboration will be no exception . By working together, we hope to in- troduce our audiences to the silk-making villages that produce the fabrics and the dyes, and to the people whose technical skill turns them into the garments you'll recognize in the dramatic legends brought to life by Khmer dance. ---------------------------- -, 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?
