Roam more

More than twenty years ago I photographed Sam Sathya at the classical dance section of the Fine Arts school. Today, with three dancers from the new generation, she is rehearsing Khmeropédies, a choreography by Emmanuèle Phuon. They will perform in Hong Kong next week and in New York this summer. I highly recommend that you see this performance, an interesting shift from classical Khmer ballet into contemporary dance.
