Celebrating 15 Years as a Leading Cultural Organization
The Angkor Dance was formed in 1986 by Cambodian refugees
of the Khmer Rouge genocide. When we resettled in Lowell,
Massachusetts we brought a passion to carry on our cherished
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.

�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.

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. 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.

which allows us to continually
improve and expand our repertoire
of classical and folk dance traditions.
Angkor Artistic Director Phousita
Huy is a former RUFA faculty member and toured internationally with

A central component of the Troupe's mission is to provide
positive cultural, recreational, and educational opportunities for
Lowell youth. 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.

�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 .
Congratulations to the
Angkor Dance Troupe on your

�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.

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. We rehearsed every weekend, w o rking together to
pre pare for performances. The motivation came from the commun ity, whi ch was so ha ppy t o see the dances."

�The Angkor Dance Troupe
- A Look Back at 15 Years
"As time went on, I
became more and more
interested in teaching the
young kids who were
growing up here and
didn't know anything
about Cambodia and
the traditions," said cofounder Tim Chan Thou .
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" .

Angkor Dance Trope, Inc.
The Angkor Dance Troupe-Company Biography
The Angkor Dance Troupe is nationally recognized as one of the most experienced and
accomplished Cambodian dance ensembles performing today. The Troupe was formed in 1986 by
refugees of the Khmer Rouge holocaust who resettled in Lowell, Massachusetts. The 70-member
ensemble performs a diverse repertoire of elegant and courtship rituals from rural Cambodian.
The Troupe has a appeared at venues including First Night Boston, Yale University, The national
Folk Festival, The White house, JFK Boston, Long Island New York, Johnson State College, and
Quick Center for the arts in Connecticut.
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.

Khmet' C:la>>ical and Folk Dance
�Like all traditional arts, Cambodian classical and folk dance has been handed from one
generation to the next. 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

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. The
Troupe's repertoire is drawn from a body of work developed at
the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, considered
the artistic standard bearer of Cambodian performing arts.
The Troupe owns an extensive collection of richly-detailed,
authentic costumes and dance materials. Angkor Dance has
participated in workshops at Jacob's Pillow and has performed
at numerous venues including First Night Boston, the Peabody
Museum, and the National Folk Festival.

In classical dance, we see highly-stylized positions in concert with

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.

�An Extensive Collection of Authentic 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 have to be
sewn into them
before performances.

�The Blessing Dance
The Blessing Dance was traditionally performed in the Cambodian
royal palace to eliminate bad spirits and bless the royal kingdom.
Today the blessing dance
is performed at the
beginning of performances of all types. It is
a dance of greetings and
good wishes. During the
performance, dancers
come forward and
sprinkle flower petals toward the audience. This is done in the hope
of bringing prosperity, peace, and good health to everyone in attendance in accordance with Cambodian tradition. (Above, Troupe
members perform the Blessing Dance at the 1997 Southeast Asian
Water Festival in Lowell.)

�The Coconut Shell Dance
Coconut trees are a main agricultural resource in Cambodia. 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.

�After countless hours of practice, Angkor Dance Troupe
apprentices Choumnith Sath, 11, and Samnang Hor, 13,
· mastered the skills to perform the challenging classical dance
"Hanuman and Sovann Macha." 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.

�The Battle at Night
Chambang Pel Yup, the Battle at Night, is a dance from the traditional Lakhan Khol form all-male dance drama, performed to illustrate stories from the Reamker. 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
There is a saying in Cambodia "Where there is water, there
are fish. " 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.

The Preap (White Dove) Dance
In Cambodia, the dove represents peace, as it does in many parts of
the world. Preap is a dance to discourage war and the atrocities of
war and to celebrate peace and harmony among all people.

THE POWER OF ART & CULTURE:
A COMMUNITY HEALS ITSELF
The Angkor Dance was formed in 1986 by two dance instructors
and a handful of dancers who learned traditional Cambodian
dance in refugee camps along the Thai-Cambodian border. 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.

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

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.

�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.

�,..,... 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.

�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.

�From One Generation to the Next - Carrying on the Tradition
Members of the Troupe rehearse for several hours each week. The
method of teaching is based on the traditional model - apprentices
learn by watching, imitation, and hands-on assistance from teachers.

The Ang ko r Dance Troupe teaches and performs a body of work
from the Royal Un iversity of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia,
whi ch is con sidered the world 's cultural standard bearer for
Cambodian trad it ional arts.
Part of what distinguishes the Angkor Dance Troupe from other
Cambodian dance ensembles is our ongoing program of cultural
exchange with the international community of professional
dance masters. The Troupe has worked with numerous master
dancers and musicians over the years, most recently hosting three
dance professors from the Royal University during 1998 through
a project funded by the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Community

�Masters of Cambodian Dance - Learning from the Best
Over the years, our active
educational exchange with the
Royal University of Fine Arts has
helped us significantly expand our
repertoire of classical and folk
dance traditions.
Today, the Angkor Dance Troupe
performs a number of traditional
dances rarely performed by U.S.based Troupes.
A year-long 1998 residency with
Sophea Sek and Say Soeur, below,
and Yorn Peng, right,
helped the Troupe add a number of
dances to our performance repertoire
including "Tbal Kdoeung," the Rice
Harvesting dance, "Moni Mekhala &
Ream Eyso," the Cambodian fable
of thunder and lightning, "Peacock
of Pursat," the "Preap Dance,"
"Swva Pol," and "Peacock of Pailin."

�A UNIQUE WAY TO REACH YOUTH
A central component of the Troupe's mission is to provide positive
cultural, recreational, and educational programming for youth.
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.

�The Angkor Dance Troupe addresses a critical need in Lowell for
programs that provide services to Cambodian youth who are at
high risk of negative outcomes. 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

�The Power of Art & Culture: A Commuttit'1 Heals ltsdf
The Angkor Dance was formed in 1986 by Cambodian refugees
of the Khmer Rouge genocide. When we resettled in Lowell,
we brought a passion to carry on our cherished traditions - to
practice and perform, to teach others, and to see the art form
preserved for future generations of all cultures.
The Angkor Dance Troupe is nationally recognized as one of
the most accomplished Cambodian traditional arts ensembles
performing today. The Troupe is directed by world-renowned
master teachers and performs a body of work developed in
concert with the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh,
Cambodia, considered the premier standard bearer for tradi tional Cambodian arts. The Angkor Dance Troupe is listed on the
Massachusetts and New England States Touring Rosters and has
performed at venues including the White House, First Night
Boston, the National and Lowell Folk Festivals, the Berkshire
Museum, Yale University, and Jacob's Pillow.
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

�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.

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

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

�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.

�10-year-old Tony Oeung joined Angkor Youth Dance in 1999.
"The first reason I joined the
Angkor Dance Troupe is
because I want to be a
dancer, also an artist in
music. Second, I want to be a
role model. Third, I'm
energetic and dancing is fun.
Finally, I want to be a famous
dancer among the
Cambodian people and also
learn a lot of Khm er history."

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

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

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

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

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

than 90% of the country's
tradition bearers perished.
The Angkor Dance Troupe is nationally recognized as one of the
most experienced and accomplished of the U.S. based Cambodian
dance ensembles. Angkor is directed by world-renowned master
teachers and performs a repertoire developed in concert with the
Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia,
considered the global standard bearer for Khmer traditional arts.
Angkor has an active program of educational exchange with RUFA,

of classical and folk dance traditions.
We routinely host visiting master teachers from RUFA, as well as U.S.
based master dancers, for extended artists' residencies and workshops. Between 1999 and 2002, for example, we were honored to
work closely with esteemed master
teachers Phan Phoung and
Sokhanarith Moeur, through
projects funded by the Lila Wallace/

Culture and the Southern N.E. Folk

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

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

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

"When I perform the Fishing Dance, and my

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

New work premiered in 2001 !
Paulina Srey, Sodany Krouch, Peter Veth, and
Samnang Hor worked extensively with
master teachers Phousita Huy and Yorn Peng
to perfect an episode from the Reamker,
previously not performed in Lowell. "Ream
Lak/Chup Lak" is a fascinating story about
twin sons of Sita. It chronicles their mischief in
the forest and their encounters with Hanuman

1) The Blessing Dance
Dancers: Heng Noeuk, Rancia Phin, Sopharl Ngin, Rathanee Yean, Monica Veth
It is dance of greeting and good wishes. 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.

Att5ltor Dattcc Trol-fpc, lttc.
Mini Mekhala teases him by holding the ball out very close. 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.

in Virginia
and Colorado
Paris, Phnom Penh, New York
City - these seemed likely venues to premiere the first Cambodian-American Opera ever to be
produced.
The production's
international team included Arn
Chorn-Pond, founder of Cambodian Living Arts, John Burt and
Catherine Filloux, both based in
New York City, Him Sophy of
the Royal University of Fine Arts
in Phnom Penh, and other performers and choreographers
from Cambodia, the US and
Europe. The opera ran from
April 27th-29th, not in any of
those global cities but rather in
Lowell.
An extensive team
worked for over a year to stage
the production at Lowell High
School. Angkor Dance Troupe
was a vital part of bringing this
show to Lowell , and to the thousands of people who saw it.
For those Lowell residents of
Cambodian heritage the opera
was particularly poignant.
It
melded old and new art forms, it
told the story of suffering and
survival
that so
m a n y
h a v e
experienced,
and
it
offered
an examA scene from Elephants
pie of new life, in the form of this
artistic production.
Angkor
Dance Troupe trained performers in classical dance techniques,
and worked with musicians from
Cambodia and the US.
Four
Troupe dancers performed in the
show.
Phousita Huy led the
Troupe's dancers. Her deeply
moving performance reminded
the Troupe of why she is so
valuable to us; Ms. Huy's dancing
mixed immense reserves of innate talent and grace with skill
born of discipline and training.
Peter Veth , Monica
Veth and Sophy Leng joined Ms.
Huy onstage. Monica Veth of
Angkor Dance, said of "usually
we dance to traditional music.
Now we had to dance to music
for the opera. The most memorable moment for me was the
speech that Mr. Burt made backstage, before the play, using such
nice words. I became very emotional." Sophy Leng said, "We
were the only four dancers.
Everyone eise was acting or rapping. The day of the show, before it started, we were preparing, getting dressed. The traditional Khmae band was setting up
their instruments. We did a
quick blessing ceremony. We
knelt with our hands in a praying
position and prayed that the
opera would go well. The incense was burning-it was a
special moment.
I loved the
feeling, and I hope that others
can have this experience too."
After 21 Years, An Endowment
On October 31st, 2007, a dream
came true:
Angkor Dance
Toupe established an endowment with the Greater Lowell
Community Foundation. Thanks
to generous and timely donations
by our friends and supporters,
the Troupe was able to meet the
$5,000 minimum required by the
Foundation to qualify for an additional $2,500 match .
An Endowment is a
fund that will last as long as the
Troupe does, and will pay the
Troupe a dividend every year,
based on interest earned. All of
this is to say that Tim Thou and
Phousita Huy and the dedicated
and talented dancers of the
Troupe will have some guaranteed income every year. At this
point it is small - perhaps only
enough for a costume upgrade,
or to pay for a Master Teach er
workshop - but with the generosity we have seen from our
dono rs and with the goodwill and
guidance of the GLCF, we are
confident that it will only grow
with time. This is a true investment in the Troupe's future and
in Lowell's cultural treasure.

Apsaras Come to Life After 1,000 Years
While this may seem like a
headline from the National
Enquirer (Cambodian Version), in reality it speaks to the
artistic talent of the Troupe's
Phousita Huy and Phnom-Penh
based musician Him Sophy. It
is through their combined
talents that the Apsaras will
come to life, stepping off the
walls of the ancient temples
an d speaking of modern-day
suffering, need for compassion,
and appealing to the international community for censer-
vation of all things precious.
This includes not only the
welfare of those in distress or
in need, but also the expres-
production of this work is
bringing together the artistic
team and creating the music
and dance that will anchor the
sions of culture and humanity
that are embodied in ancient
artifacts in Cambodia, and
elsewhere in the world.

Ancient Meets Nouveau at Fall Fundraiser
"Let the dresses talk," said Peter
Veth, Assistant Artistic Director
and talk they did in ancient Khmer
idioms as well as through the sleekest fashions of today. By combining
classical and folk dance with fashion, Artistic Director Phousita Huy
and her staff engaged the attention

of each of the 300 people in the
room at the fall Fundraiser on November I 0th . 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

Recent stages on wh ich Angkor
Dance Troupe has performed include one in the shadow of the
great Rocky Mountains, in the
western part of the Un ited States.
\
In August of thi s year,
three T roupe dancers t ravelled to
Colorado for the annual Cambodian Culture Camp, sponsored by
Families w ith Cambodian Children .
By performing for this group of
families, Troupe members brought
a taste of the Cambodian arts to an
audience with a great appreciation
for things Khmer.
Linda Sou , th e Troupe's
Assistant Program Directo r, said "It
was a very rewarding experience.
When we began to dance the
younger ki ds all stopped tal king.
They became quiet and watched,
sitting absolutely still."
Board
Member Deborah Nelson, who
attended the Camp with her family,
reflected on how meaningful it was
to those gathered there to connect
with ancient Cambodian trad itions
and to each other.

National Parl( Service Performance
This September we added Williamsburg, Virginia to the growing
list of venues, near and far , where
Angkor Dance Troupe has performed . Th is time the occasion
was a special one: the annual conference of the National Leadership
Council of the National Park Service (NPS) . Lowell Natio nal Historical Park Superintendent, Mi chael Creasy, invited the Troupe to
perform not only as a treat for the
attendees, but also as a way to
model cutting edge private-public
partnership, and exploration of
cultural resources. Among those
who enjoyed the performance were
the NPS Director Mary Bomar, and
the Secretary of the Interior, Dirk
Kempthorne. Lowell N PS's Duey
Kol remarked that "the dancers
who represented the T roupe on
this special day were
magical, and we received many compliments. Their professionalism and passion

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

We asked people in
their early 20s who had danced
with the Troupe for a number of
years to reflect on how their
time with the Troupe shaped
who they are now. Here is what
one of them said:
Troupe. I am now the Di rector
of Youth Development for the
Lowell Community Health Center. I'm also the Assistant Program Director for Angkor Dance
Troupe. And I am attending full
time graduate school at the
Springfield College School of
Human Services in Boston, studying for a Master of Science in
Human Services.
Old Traditions and New
Technologies prepare Angkor dancers like Linda Sou
for their futures
" I am Sopheap (Linda) Sou.
I'm
24 years of age, 20 of which I
spent with the Angkor Dance
My time with the
Troupe shaped me by supporting
my leadership in both fields . The
dance discipline has taught me
dedication and commitment to
what is near to my heart - culture, dance and community organizing. I am very pleased with
where I am in my life. I would
like to continue the work that I
am doing.

Rapt faces followed every gesture made by Monica Veth, as
the crowd of over 600 middle
schoolers sat unusually still and
silent, absorbing the graceful
demonstration of Cambodian
dance. Linda Sou spoke with
quiet authority and humor about
dance, how it is learned and her
own experiences as a child, as
she gradually came to master
over I 500 of the 5000 gestures
that make up Cambodian classical
dance.
This compelling workshop was
part of a joint endeavor between
Angkor Dance Troupe and the
middle schools of Lowell, facilitated by a $10,000 grant from
the National Endowment for the
Arts.
More than 2,000 students were
treated to a lesson in Cambodian
culture and a classical or monkey
dance performance by the
Troupe in the spring of 2008.
All students completed a questionnaire about their experience
- I00% positive! - and about 25%
expressed an interest in learning
Cambodian dance. Fifteen students in the Fine Arts Academy
at Lowell High School participated in a 5-day residency where
they learned the history of Cambodia and Cambodian dance.

The Mekong-Merrimack bridge

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

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

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

Parents and Friends Learn Ancient Costuming Techniques
...
This spring, parents and friends of
the Troupe took part in our firstever workshops on Cambodian
cloth and costuming techniques.
Knowledgeable instructors, led by
Phousita Huy, rolled and squeezed
the cloth into the shapes that make
up the k'ben, one of the basic elements of the dance costume.
Parents and friends also
learned about different grades of
silk, how to care for the cloth, and
the kinds of performances associated with certain silks and patterns.
In another workshop, our presenters showed many examples of traditional Cambodian clothing and
spoke about cultural meanings of
certain colors and fashions.
Our participants
deepened their knowledge of
Cambodian culture and
spruced up their appearance
at the Cambodian New Year festivities. See page 2 for our next workshop series - this one on Cambodian cuisine. What better way to
bring your family closer to what is
beautiful (and delicious) in Cambodian culture?

�Founded in 1986 by a group of Cambodian refugees with a passion for Khmer performing arts came
together in Lowell, Massachusetts, with the sole purpose of reviving a culture once almost lost, Angkor
Dance Troupe (ADT) was formed to preserve and develop the traditions of Cambodian performing
arts. 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.

�Thank You
On behalf of our Board of Directors, our planning committee, and staff
of Angkor Dance Troupe, we would like to thank you for joining us as we
commemorate "30 Years of Connecting Communities through the Preservation,
Education and Innovation of Cambodian Performing Arts:'
Tonight's anniversary is a true celebration of our past, present, and future. This
celebration is an opportunity to honor those who helped establish Angkor
Dance Troupe in 1986; a chance to acknowledge those who believed in our work,
leading to over 4,500 youth served and 20,000 reached across the Northeast; and
a time to recognize those who continue helping us grow.
We would like to recognize each of you for making this a memorable event for
years to come and extend a special thank you to all our sponsors for this evening.
Your contributions are invaluable to this organization and will be used to ensure
the future growth of Angkor Dance Troupe.
Angkor Dance Troupe could not deliver on our mission without the support of
our donors, community partners, families, friends, staff and board. We look forward to your continued partnership in helping us connect Communities through
the Preservation, Education and Innovation of Cambodian Performing Arts.

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

Phousita Serey Huy
Master of Cambodian Royal Court Ballet
Phousita S. Huy was born in Phnom Penh City, Cambodia.
Ev ery Thursday, at her early age, her mother took her to the
royal palace for the public performances of royal court ballet .
She loved the beautiful dances and costumes and dreamed of
someday being a dancer herself.
In the past, Royal Court Ballet
was for entertaining the Cambodian king and queen, for some
priv ilege personnel, and for official reception of the foreign
delegates or diplomates.
Royal Court Ballet requires onl y female
performers due to its soft, gentle, flexible and delicate
gesture.
It is always regard as a special privilege to b e
s e lected for the Royal Court Ballet.
In April 17, 1975 the communist radical group, known as
Khmer Rouge, took control of Cambodia.
In order to reform
Cambodia to a pure peasant society, the Khmer Rouge start e d the
unspeakabl e destruction of Cambodian society. They destroye d
lives of the inhabitants, national properties, tradition and high
culture of Cambodian society--including the royal court ballet.
Most of the learned and intellect were perished under the Khmer
Rouge's brutal regime along with the most prominent p e rf o r me r s of
roya l court ballet .
Despite being separated from her family, Phousita manage d t o
s urv i v ed the most ordeal of her life. 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 . During her school years and after her graduation, she
had toured several countries, including Vietnam, North and South
Korea, Japan, America, Lao, Thailand, and India.
Prior to her departure from Cambodia for permane nt residency
in United States in the middle of 1996, Phousita taught . royal
cou r t ball e t at the University of Fine Arts and general publi c
e lementary schools . Presently, she is an artistic director at
Angkor Dance Troupe, Lowell, Massachusetts.

�~plleial PrllS\Zntation of
Cambodian 'Rllf US\Zll Polltry d3ook & ~mot
The
political
and
military whims of the
superpowers fractured
the gentle land of
Cambodia,
ultimately
claiming the lives of
one-fourth
of
the
population in one of the
worst genocides of the
twentieth
century.
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,

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

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.

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 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.

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.

throughout the countryside. In our next performance, Phoung Neary, a
beautiful classical dance, the dancers symbolize blossoming flowers.

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.

Tim Chan Thou learned Cambodian folk dance and became certified as a folk
dance instructor in a refugee camp along the Thai-Cambodian border. He was
21 when he arrived at Khao-I-Dang, traumatized by his wartime experiences
in Khmer Rouge-controlled work camps and by the deaths of his parents and
�four siblings. For Tim, teaching traditional Cambodian folk dance became a
way to keep part of his heritage alive. He went on to teach and dance at the
Philippine Refugee Center before immigrating to the U.S. in 1982.
Tim brought to the U.S. a passion to carry on and develop traditional
Cambodian dance, to perform, to teach others, and to see the traditions
preserved for future generations of people of all cultures. In 1986, he and
another teacher founded the Angkor Dance Troupe. Today, the Troupe is one
of the most respected Cambodian dance ensembles in the country, with
several highly qualified master teachers and more than forty students.
Tim’s vision and dedication have brought the troupe to its present level of
recognition. His many roles in managing the troupe include instruction,
bookkeeping, management of the dance wardrobe, and directing
performances. In recognition of his untiring commitment to improve the
community and his willingness to devote his life to preserving Cambodian
culture, Community Teamwork honored Tim with its prestigious Local Hero
