Apsara

I didn't get any photos that quite captured the grace and poise of this Apsara dancer, but she was stunning to watch. The traditional Khmer arts were nearly extinguished during Pol Pot's regime--it is truly special to see young artists practicing them now.

One of PEPY's partners, Cambodian Living Arts, is working to connect the few master artists who survived the Khmer Rouge with young students. During my first stint in Cambodia, I was fortunate to see both masters and students perform several times, some of my finest memories here.
