Look & Listen: Cambodian Art and Dance of the Divine Serpent, Sophiline Cheam Shapiro, dancer/choreographer, with curator Emma Natalya Stein
Explore the symbolism of the legendary serpent deity, the naga, as it has long been expressed in art across South and Southeast Asia and in Cambodian classical dance. See how the naga is depicted in sculptures, royal adornment, and ritual objects representing the serpent’s many positive roles as a bridge connecting the human and divine worlds. Watch classical Khmer (Cambodian) dance that embodies the aesthetic of the serpent and tells stories of the naga’s actions in the world, accompanied by Khmer court music.
Our guides will be dancer and choreographer Sophiline Cheam Shapiro and curator Emma Natalya Stein.
Sophiline Cheam Shapiro is founding director of the Khmer Arts Academy and was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts (the United States’ highest honor in the traditional arts). She has both studied and taught at Cambodia’s Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Cheam Shapiro is also a graduate of UCLA’s World Arts and Cultures Program and has expanded the possibilities of her dance form to address modern themes. Her many original choreographies have been performed at Muziektheater in Amsterdam, China Conservatory of Music in Beijing, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Hong Kong Arts Festival, The Joyce Theater in New York, Dans Festival in Singapore, and Schönbrunn Palace Theater in Vienna. She last appeared at the Freer and Sackler in 2019.
Emma Natalya Stein is assistant curator of South and Southeast Asian art at the Freer and Sackler. Her recent exhibitions include Power in Southeast Asia and Prehistoric Spirals: Earthenware from Thailand.

@@ปิ๊กก้า-ด2ผ Why are you copying and pasting this comment over and over again? It's Khmer culture, first off, and this is Khmer national dress; as for Thai, is it very different from Khmer?
@@Tophuu_This is Thai national dress, and Thai culture not khmer.
This is call Cambodia influenced from Thailand, because Siam(Thai) ruled Cambodia for hundreds of years (400-500 years) before ceding it to France.
@@ปิ๊กก้า-ด2ผ Try to argue with UNESCO! Yapping on the internet will bring you nothing but shame 😂

Please say: Prasad Angkor.
Please don't say: Angkor Wat.
Prasad mean temple
Angkor wat = India
Khmer. ..... =Slave of India.
Khmer received many Thai culture 😂😂😂.
Khmer* Thai do not have a culture. It's indigenous austroasiatic, not Tai Kadai.
Stop stealing from khmer mon lao tai burmese malay javanese indian vietnamese and persian and arab and tai yuan!
And stop stealing everyone's genetics. you're not unique. khmer gave you 90000 royal court dancers and members in ayutthaya, and ayutthaya was mon khmer descent.
Serpents are indigenous austroasiatic custom and legends. Stop plagiarizing and lying
your language is barely half tai!
that's why taungoo burma burned ayutthaya
Says who? You? Thai.... you mean the Thais originally from China who escaped from slavery to the land of Khmers? You loved khmer culture so much that you fully abandoned your mother culture to adopt our culture and then in the end called it yours. Shame on you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Proof
@@gold-toponymThough they have tried to eradicate their true origin, but what still remains is the true nature. They are innately vindictive to the core. It's clearly evident in their behavior; they were nothing more than hillbillies in the past, who over times had"refined" themselves. Resorting to all means such as wh¢ring themselves for material gains, comes naturally to them.
Thai culture.
Cambodia is king of copy.
