Cambodian Culture: Geography Cambodian Performing Arts Classical Dances Folk Dance Cambodian Tradition: Khmer Culture About the Cambodian Performing Arts! There are two types of dance in the Cambodian performing dance repertory: The Court Dance or sometime called Classical dance and the Folk Dance. The Cambodian Classical Dances Cambodian Classical Dance or Court Dance of Cambodia has been enhanced for over a thousand years. The dance is a continuation of the legendary myth expressed by the celestial dancers, Apsara. Apsara dancers are carved on the walls of the Angkor temples. Most of the Classical dances are like Western plays. It is a show that tells stories usually taken from Ramayana. Traditionly women play the roles of king, queen, prince, princess, and demon. The monkey (Hanuman) is always played by men. The costumes, headdresses, masks, movements and gestures identify the characters. In classical dance, there are over four thousand five hundred-body movements, that Cambodian call "Kbach". The dance movements are continuously taught to the dancers throughout their career by Cambodian dance masters. Most professional dancers started when they were five years old and perfectly mastered the technique by average age of thirty. They started with less complicate body movement like those of children's pieces such as the Robam Bopha Lorkei to the most beautiful and gentle like in Robam Apsara. The last dance learned is the complex Demon Kbach.

Bon Prokak Chmóóp On the third day after birth there is a ceremony (bon prokak cmóóp) to honor both the midwife and new child. The mother "asks forgiveness of the midwife" (som too cmóóp) for having subjected her to trouble and presents her with gifts of betel, candles, incense, rice, and perhaps fruit or a bit of meat, and whatever sum of money the family can afford (usually 50 riels). In turn, the midwife ties white string upon the infant's wrists for good luck (and may also pierce the ears of a female chile). The parents give offerings to ancestral spirits and provide a meal for the midwife and a few close kinsmen and friends (although the latter do not reciprocate with gifts for the child). Although not necessary parts of the ceremony, the child is often named at this time and also receives a small daaub of rice flour (the bóng haoy) upon the fontanels to "make the skull close up" (this daub will be worn for several months).

Cambodian Culture Festivals Cambodian New Year Pchum Ben Water Festival Day of Hatred ... Birthdays Khmer Language and Literature Language Literature Cambodian Proverbs Festivals Cambodian New Yea r The Cambodian New Year takes place from April 13th -15th, during the dry season when farmers do not work in the fields. Astrologers determine the exact time and date by calculating the exact moment the new animal protector (tiger, dragon, or snake) arrives. Cambodians spend the entire month of April in preparation for the celebration, cleaning and decorating their house with candles, lights, star shaped lanterns and flowers. During the first three days, everyone travels to the pagodas to offer food to the monks. Top ^ Pchum Ben Pchum Ben is a religious ceremony in September when everyone remembers the spirit of dead relatives. For fifteen days, people in Cambodian villages take turns bringing food to the temples or pagodas. On the fifteenth and final day, everyone dresses in their finest clothing to travel together to the pagodas. Families bring overflowing baskets of flowers, and children offer food and presents to the monks. Everyone says prayers to help their ancestors pass on to a better life. According to Khmer belief, those who do not follow the practices of Pchum Ben are cursed by their angry ancestors. Top ^ Water Festival Another very colorful festival is the Water Festival or the Festival of the Reversing Current. It takes place in late October or early November and marks the reversal of the Tonle Sap River so that it once again flows south from the Tonle Sap Lake into the Mekong River. The highlight of the three-day festival is the boat races that are held in Phnom Penh. Individual villages build their own boats by hollowing out a log to make a dugout canoe that is rowed by as many as forty people! The prow and the stern of the canoe turn upward and the prow is painted with an eye, just like the war vessels on the wall of the temples at Angkor Thom. On the first two days of the festival, pairs of boats race each other. At sunset on the third day, there is a big race and everyone believes that the river is happy, the fish will be plentiful and the rice crop will flourish.

The Winonan January 31, 2001 Research trip gives professor insight into Cambodian culture Amanda Leonhardt Winonan English professor Ken McCullough recently returned from Cambodia, where he spent a month gathering background information for a book he is working on. McCullough met Oeur at the University of Iowa, where they were classmates in the 1960s, before Oeur returned to Cambodia. However, since the outbreak of civil war in 1970 and the eventual take-over by the communists, Cambodia has been a country torn by war, genocide and cultural destruction. McCullough talked about the huge number of citizens he saw missing limbs, the children with no arms and the huge rehabilitation and prosthetic limb industry in Cambodia. Despite the obvious reconstruction of lives and culture that is occurring in Cambodia, McCullough stressed that things are looking better. McCullough spent time with Memtateay, the reigning expert on classical Cambodian dance and with Vann Nath, one of seven people who survived the Toul Sleng prison, where 14,000 people were held; Nath paints pictures of the horrors prisoners at the death camp endured. He also met Youk Chhang, the man in charge of the genocide documentary project that will be presented during the trial against war criminals in Cambodia. In addition to being a poet, Oeur was an English teacher in Cambodia until censorship became too strict. He then joined the armed forces in the civil war and served as a captain. In 1972 he was elected to the Cambodian parliament, and, in 1974, he served as a delegate to the United Nations. Between 1975 and 1979, he was subjected to six different concentration camps, as were most of the Cambodian people.

Voice your opinions and views Volume I Issue II Perspective November,1998 A Lost Identity among Cambodian-Americans By Lina Saem The challenge most Cambodian-Americans face today is one of establishing an identity for themselves which is reflective of the two prevailing cultural values and norms that are key to the molding of who they are. Cambodian-Americans are beneficiaries of two cultures that often have diametrically opposing viewpoints in that Cambodian culture subscribes to the notion that a child's life is never really their own, whereas the American culture stresses the fostering of independence in a child and recognizes an adult child's capability to make a decision. Thus, Cambodian-Americans are forever questioning their own adulthood or more appropriately, the lack thereof. [TOP] A second aspect of the differing customs involves the treatment of the elderly. For Cambodians, the adult children and other family members cared for elderly parents traditionally; public assistance was usually not called upon. For Cambodian parents, a child becomes a means of security in the sense that they will act as caretakers when the parents are ill and reach old age. In addition, they function as the "protector" in all aspects of life, ensuring that the health, happiness, and economic well being of the parents are safeguarded. It is at this juncture where we see an apparent role reversal in the Cambodian culture: the parent becomes dependent on the child.

Country Info Cambodia Introduction Cambodia General Data Cambodia Maps Cambodia Culture ... Cambodia Time and Date Cambodia Culture Back to Top Cambodian culture and artistic expression were overshadowed by the greatness of the past. Although the Khmer empire owed much to Indian influence, its achievements represented original contributions to Asian civilization. The magnificent architecture and sculpture of the Angkor period (802–1432), as seen in the temple complexes at Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom (see photograph), marked the apex of Khmer creativity. Following the capture of Angkor by the Thai (15th century) and the crumbling of the empire, the region underwent four centuries of foreign invasions, civil war, and widespread depopulation. It was not until the establishment of the French protectorate in 1863 that internal security was restored, the country's borders were stabilized, and efforts were undertaken to revive traditional Khmer art forms At varying times, Cambodian culture also absorbed Javanese, Chinese, and Thai influences. Between the 9th and 15th centuries, a prosperous and powerful empire flourished in northwestern Cambodia. The Khmer kingdom of Angkor, named for its capital city, dominated much of what is now Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. The kingdom drew its religious and political inspiration from India. The literary language of the court was Sanskrit; the spoken language was Khmer. Massive temples from this period, including Angkor Wat and the Bayon at Angkor Thum, testify to the power of Angkor and the grandeur of its architecture and decorative art. The unparalleled achievements in art, architecture, music, and dance during this period served as models for later cultural development in Cambodia.
