Classical Dances from Cambodia 
Only a year ago it was feared that the 
classical dances of Cambodia had van- 
ished under the Khmer Rouge regime. 
Nevertheless, for five years, a troupe of 
artists, musicians, and dancers managed 
to disguise themselves as farmers before 
working their way through the Thai refu- 
gee camps to get to the United States. 
This troupe will perform in the Museum 
Auditorium on Sunday, November 15, at 
2:00 p.m. in a program presented in 
cooperation with the Society for Asian 
Music. 
Training for Khmer dance begins in 
early childhood when the limbs are sup- 
ple enough to bend in the characteristic 
curves of the classical dances. Many of 
the dancers in this group trained in the 
Royal Palace Dance School in Phnom 
Penh and once danced with the Palace 
troupe. 
The program is free to all Museum 
visitors. For information call (212) 873- 
1300, ext. 559. 
Sky Show 
Beginning November 25, the Sky 
Show at the Hayden Planetarium will be 
Star of Wonder. This show has been 
delighting New York holiday audiences 
for more than forty years. It journeys 
back 2,000 years for a look at the sky of 
Bethlehem at the time of Jesus’ birth. 
What was the “star of wonder” that led 
the wise men on their journey? Was it a 
comet? A bright meteor? Some have sug- 
gested that it was a nova or even a rare 
grouping of the planets. The show will 
run through January 5, 1982, and is a 
celebration of the holiday season for one 
and all. For more information call (212) 
873-8828. 
To Dance One’s Dreams 
Myths and stereotypes concerning Na- 
tive Americans have acted as barriers to 
cultural communication between Indians 
and non-Indians. On Sunday. November 
8, at 2:00 p.m. in the Auditorium, a new 
bridge will be explored: communication 
through movement and dance. Solaris, a 
modern dance company, will perform in 
conjunction with dancers from the 
Lakota Sioux nation, lhanbla Waktoglag 
Wacipi (To Dance One's Dreams. Vi- 
sions, or Exploits) combines traditional 
dances performed by the Lakota Sioux 
with Solaris’s interpretations of some of 
the modern-dance legends and myths. 
This free performance will be the New 
York premiere of the work. For informa- 
tion call (212) 873-1300, ext. 559.
