Comments on: tradition in art http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/orenstein07/?p=105 Seminar 1 with Professor Orenstein | HN C100 | W 3:10-5:40 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 17:26:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: jcortez http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/orenstein07/?p=105#comment-64 jcortez Sat, 13 Oct 2007 23:53:01 +0000 http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/orenstein07/?p=105#comment-64 I agree with you about the importance of preserving one's culture while adapting it to others. In order to preserve something, you need people who are willing to continue the tradition. One way to get people involved is to appeal to culture also. I love what you said about compromise being necessary; it is so true. Pamina was given a hard job, respecting her tradition while "compromising" it to appeal to us westerners.

I think it's important to adapt to changing times in order to reinvigorate the art form. I also enjoyed how you compared the "long road ahead" to Cambodia's postwar struggles. I never thought of it that way. I really liked how you state that the Cambodian dancers are not compromising their values by adapting to a western opera.
