Lecture-Entertainment Series Opens Season
With Program Featuring Phakavali Dancers
Woman's College Lecture-Enter
talnment Series opened this fall
with a performance of the Phaka-vali
Dancers of Thailand (former-ly
Slam I at Aycock Auditorium
last Thursday.
The dance company is visiting
the United States for the first
time under the auspices of the
Asia Society and Is appearing «t
the Woman's College In connec-tion
with the Woman's College
program of Asian Studies which
Is bringing scholarly and cultural
experts to the campus.
The Phakavali Is directed by
Nal Praaldh SUapabanleng, son of
the founder, and his wife Ladda
SUapabanleng. He Is Thailand's
leading composer and his wife,
after a career as Thailand's lead-ing
woman dancer, Is now chore-ographer
and dance director for
the company. She Is also the only
woman In Thailand who has di-rected
plays and films.
The program Included The
Khon. the masked dance-drama;
Battle with Vlrumjumbung, the
duel dance; Yu-Ngld dance, the
best example of the pure beauty
of the classical style of Slameae
court dance, and the Fon Leb. the
'Fingernail Dance."
Following the Thai Dancers
were the PanHellenion Folk Fes-tival
from Greece. Miss Eleni
Tsaoull directed the sixteen dan-ears
In their debut in America
The Panhellenlon selected a
cross section of folk songs. Some
are of recent origin, such as the
'Sailors' Dance" from the water-front
of Piraeus in the film
'Never on Sunday."
Other dances are thousands of
years old; for example, the Tsa-konlkos.
The origin of this dance
has been attributed to Theseus,
that Athenian hero who broke the
power of Crete and set his people
free. Dancing In a line, shoulder
to shoulder, hands clasped, the
young men and girls execute com-plex
turns and blUowlngs deplet-ing
the escape from the tortuous
windings of the Cretan maze. The
rhythm of the dance Is the rare
beat of 5/4.
Another dance dating from the
heroic era Is the "Kerklralkos."
It enacts the story, related In
"The Odyssey", of the discovery
by the beautiful princess Nausl-caa
of the ship-wrecked Odysseus
on the shores of Corfu.
In addition to the dancers, Pan-hellenlon's
touring unit brought
four Instrumentalists to play upon
a variety of antique native Instru-ments,
and a singer of demotic
songs.
Folk songs rather than folk
dances will be featured October
