Extractions: "Depictions of Dance and Drama on Ancient Cambodian Temples" Images of dance and drama are found both on bas reliefs and in free standing sculpture from ancient Cambodian temples. Unfortunately, we know very little about the meanings and gestures of dance in ancient Cambodia. While a Sanskrit dance treatise, the Natyasastra , sheds light on ancient dance in India, no such text has survived in Cambodia. Moreover, ancient inscriptions written in both Sanskrit and Khmer (Cambodian language) on stone stele reveal little about the nuances of ancient dance and drama. We do, however, know that dance, drama, and music were performed as ritual offerings to the gods and ancestors. A 7th-century Sanskrit inscription mentions the donation of dancers as part of a ritual and material offering to a temple. Another inscription dating from the 9th century tells us that King Yashovarman I (889-ca. 900 AD) learned music and dance. We also know that King Jayavarman VII (1181- ca.1218 AD) donated thousands of dancers to the temples of Preah Khan and Ta Prohm. Not surprisingly, there are many images of elegant dancers found at Preah Khan. (fig.1)

CCA is planning to have a table set up to attract new members. The Cambodian Collegiate Association was started in September of 1999. The club's main goal was to promote the khmer culture. Today it has expanded its goals. We have several goals but the primary objective of our club is to unite the khmer community, not just in Fresno but everywhere. Since this is the beginning of CCA, we will start at the local level and progress from there. Our club is fortunate to expand its networks to Southern California. We thank Southern California for welcoming us into the Cambodian Student Council.

Extractions: Stickman's guide to B a n g k o k Reader's Submissions: The Cambodian Culture Shock By Warlord The first thing I'll say about Cambodia is that on first impressions the place makes you feel like you are in one huge brothel. Is that a good thing? Well I guess that depends on your point of view? If you're reading Stick's website then for you, it most probably is a good thing. I was travelling with a mate around South East Asia towards the end of the year 2000 and we landed at Phnom Penh airport after flying in from Saigon. $20 later and a shiny new visa in the passport, we scored a cab into the city and checked into the Narin Guest House. You'll have to forgive me but I can't remember many specific road names of the places I'm going to mention. Has anyone ever read the book Off The Rails In Phnom Penh? Id just read it while we were in Nam, and Cambodia sounded pretty damn hot. Lots of weed, pussy, and excitement to name but a few of the attractions that jumped out of those photocopied pages. Orientation in P.P. is pretty straightforward when you compare it to a city like Bangkok. It's a small city with a population of around 1,500,000, and getting around is simple. There's 1000s of motos (motorbike taxis) that you can hire mega cheaply and these chaps dont try and kill you like the rascals do in BKK. Anyway back to the point. My friend and I decided to just go for a beer and some food, whoring was the last thing on our minds. We walked for a while through PP, just getting a feel for the place, and ended up in a side street than runs parallel to one of the main boulevards. I think the boulevard may have been called Monievong Avenue?

Extractions: Cambodian music history A distinction must be made between "music in Cambodia" and "Cambodian music," for the former embraces all ethnic groups within the national boundaries while the latter is limited to the majority, Cambodians. The northern provinces of Rattanakiri and Mundulkiri include hilly plateaus which are home to the Pnorng (Pnorng), an upland Mon-Khmer speaking group, while in the southwest along the Koulen and Cardamom ranges are found the Kuoy (Kui), Por, Samre, and other upland Mon-Khmer speakers. Their musical expression emphasizes gong ensembles, drum ensembles, and free-reed mouth organs with gourd windchests. In the west, around the great lake (Tonle Sap) live Cham, Chinese, Vietnamese, and other lowland minorities, but the extent to which these groups maintain their traditional musics is not largely known. Cambodian music flourished in both court and village settings, some associated with specific functions, others with entertainment. In villages weddings are celebrated with kar music, communication with spirits is accompanied by arakk music, and entertainments include

Extractions: Ponn Yinn and Andrew Yinn We at ACTA have recently learned of the passing of Ponn Yinn in June, 2001. California culture experiences a great loss with his passing. In Remembrance Pin Peat, the percussive classical music of Cambodia, has been passed from master to apprentice for more than a thousand years. Because this art form has no written notation, it must be learned through imitation and repetition. photo by Terry Liu During the years of the Khmer Rouge "killing fields," pin peat almost disappeared though the death of perhaps 90 percent of its practitioners. Those who survived have spent the rest of their lives attempting to pass their knowledge and skill along to the next generation so that the art form will remain a lively and important part of Cambodian culture. Ponn Yinn considers his son Andrew as his "gift" to the future of Cambodian culture. The teen is Mr. Yinn's most dedicated and promising apprentice and they have performed together hundreds of times since Andrew began studying music as an eight-year-old with his father. Although Andrew himself is quite an accomplished musician with a long list of public performances to his credit, he realizes the importance of continued study with his father.

He has spent countless hours to bring great sessions to the Winter Conferences. Thanks, Rick. Planning for the Winter Conference is in full swing. I hope to bring to you several sessions that explore music of the world and how to immediately bring this new material back to your classroom. The sessions will also include cross curricular activities. I also want to thank Dave DiMarino at JW Pepper in Fremont, he will be assisting myself and Lou De La Rosa in setting up several multi-cultural reading sessions for middle and high school choirs and also a session with Andy Collinsworth for grade 3-5 instrumental ensembles. We are hoping to bring in several conductors that are very familiar with the scores to help demonstrate the usage of ethnic instruments and styles associated with the different compositions.

Extractions: HOME PHOTO ALBUM RESUME POEMS ... Miscellaneous Cultural Life While Democratic Kampuchea's leadership, inspired by the People's Republic of China, made culture subservient to Marxist-Leninist doctrines, the government in Phnom Penh after 1979 made serious efforts to restore such traditional activities as classical music, ballet, and popular theatre. Foreign aid from India and Poland was used to clean and maintain some of the temples at Angkor, which had suffered from years of vandalism and neglect. These aspects of high culture have had to compete for people's attention with videotapes imported from Hong Kong, Thailand, and elsewhere, and with Western popular music. Music and dance forms Music occupied a dominant place in traditional Cambodian culture. It was sung and played everywhereby children at play, by adults at work, by young men and women while courtingand invariably was part of the many celebrations and festivals that took place throughout the year at Buddhist temples in the rural countryside. Instruments used in full orchestras included xylophones with wooden or metal bars, one- and two-stringed violins, wooden flutes, oboes, and drums of different sizes. The players followed the lead of one instrument, usually the xylophone, and improvised as they wished. Dancing and drama were also popular forms of artistic expression. The Royal Ballet in Phnom Penh exemplified the classic, highly stylized dance form adapted by the Khmer and Thai from the ancient dances of Angkor. In the countryside, folk drama and folk dances were performed at festivals and weddings by wandering troupes.

http://www.geocities.com/cambodiannet/dance.html

Extractions: A BRIEF HISTORY Cambodian classical dance plays a very important part in Cambodian culture. It has been associated with the Royal Court of Cambodia for over a thousand years. Recognized by it's graceful, elegant gestures (kbach) and elaborate costumes, this beautiful dance form has come to embody the historical traditions and values of Khmer throughout the world. "Traditionally, dancers were trained from childhood in the Royal Palace and were known as the Royal Cambodian Ballet. They went beyond the palace walls only to attend the king. Children who were accepted into the court came from all classes of society, ranging from those of peasants to high ranking officials. In fact, ever since the dance was established in the palace as part of court life, members of the royal family itself would also take part in the dance. World attention focused on them early in this century as one of the few court dance traditions remaining from antiquity." "Dancers were trained from the age of six for a repertoire which included romances, myths, pure dance pieces and regional epics such as the story of Sita and Rama ( known as the Ramayana or Khmer Reamker ). Dramas concerning the Buddha have also been staged since the twelfth century."
