We partner with UMass Lowell's Center for Asian American Studies and Flying Orb Productions for the annual Asian American Cultures Festival. After our fundraising event every Fall - which premieres a full-length production directed by Master Teachers from the Royal University of Fine Arts - ADT provides excerpts from the show as an opportunity for UML students and their families to enjoy at a discounted rate. This year, we performed excerpts from "Preah Thoung Neang Neak: Origin of the Cambodian Wedding" to open the premiere of Flying Orb Production's "The Great Wide Open."

Students of all ages come together to learn about traditional Cambodian classical and folk dance with a program curated by Phousita Huy, Artistic Director and Master Teacher from the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
All students start by learning basic mother posture and gestures to prepare them for the stories of our ancestors expressed through dance. As they advance to the next level, the roles in each dance become more intricate.
