CONTENTS: Cambodian court and social dance (approx. 57 min.). Recorded on July 5, 1993. Presenters: Frank Proschan, Chan Moly Sam. Dancers: Rady Tes, Sochietah Ung, Nareine Sokhon, Nita So, Thyda Chhuan, Bonnary Lek. Cambodian court dancing, with its ritual and royal origins, demanding training, and elaborate system of meaningful hand gestures, is contrasted with Cambodian social dances. Two court dances are performed, and dancer-teacher Rady Tes demonstrates some basic hand gestures. Four social dances are demonstrated, some with audience participation: the ram kbach, ram vong, lam leav, and khmer leu. -- Bolivian party (approx. 21 min.). Musicians: Generacion Luz: Charlie Barrionuevo, Mauricio Barrionuevo, Raul Monterrosa, Juan Carlos Cueto, Lelis Cueto, Julio Robles. Informal dancing in a variety of styles to Bolivian music, including the morenada. Some of the Bolivian dancers listed in the credits are occasionally visible among the crowd, but there is no structured performance of dances. The tape concludes with candid footage of the festival site.
