Q&A: “When I create work, I look into the past”

Q&A: “When I create work, I look into the past”

Harriet Fitch Little for The Phnom Penh Post

In conversation with two choreographers: Sophiline Shapiro and Mark Morris
Mark Morris and Sophiline Shapiro are two of the most widely respected dance choreographers within their respective fields. The Mark Morris Dance Group is known in the US for its exuberant, inventive style, while Shapiro’s Khmer Arts has been a pioneering force in the re-invigoration of traditional Cambodian dance. On the last day of Morris’s two-week trip to the Kingdom, the choreographers joined forces to lead an afternoon of workshops at the Khmer Arts Theatre in Takhmao. Afterwards, they sat down together to talk.
