Apsara Art Association
The Apsara Arts Association (AAA) is a local non-governmental organization founded in 1998, with the aim to study, research, establish and disseminate the arts and culture of Cambodia. It contributes to poverty reduction by educating orphans and children from poor families. The AAA feels that art can become an origin of strength and resilience, and a crucial source of curing and reconciliation in Cambodia.
Currently it has 120 students working with 6 instructors. The AAA has also opened a shelter for vulnerable and underprivileged children, allowing them to go to public school and to learn Cambodian classical and performing arts.
With the funds raised from An Evening of Chekhov Comedies, the AAA aims to offer their students training in the folk dance Phluoy Soy, an ethnic dance from Kampong Speu province. It is one of the most popular dances in Cambodian folklore.
