  • Myanmar dance star streams performance online amid pandemic

    Yangon, Aug 25 (EFE/EPA).- The dancer jolts energetically across a stage, synchronizing his movements to the music that culminates in a climax of frenzied yet graceful moves, freezing after each sway as if to accentuate every pose.All around, an entourage of support dancers drift in and out of the semicircle, interacting, almost teasing the man dressed in traditional Burmese garments of flashy pink tones. (CAMERA: NYEIN CHANNAING).SHOT LIST: A DANCE REHEARSAL AT DANCER PHOE CHIT'S COMPOUND IN YANGON, MYANMAR. SOUND BITES: PHOE CHIT, A 38-YEAR-OLD DANCER (IN BURMESE).TRANSLATIONS:1. It is not possible to allow audiences in my mini-theater. I will only perform online. I have been tryingto change this media platform for two or three years and I got a name from "Seven Kinds of Dance Performances in the Arts" during the VCD (Video Compact Disc) era, so I will continue with this style. According to the current global situation, I will film and broadcast online in order to connect with my audience. It is not yet convenient for my audiences to come here. (01:02 - 01:42).2. It will be free of charge for this month. After August, there will be a 3-month subscription fee. My audiences can watch the performances for three months continuously. I will invite U Chan Thar, brother Swan Zarni, Ko Win Naung and Ko Wai Yan Oo from Mandalay, Ko Min Naing Soe and Chan Ni Chan from Mon State and also famous comedians groups like "Five Stars", "Har Ngar Kaung", "Har Ta Thike" and U Moe D and a famous Ah Nyeint (woman traditional dance). I will broadcast on my page with these performers, songs and arts related to Myanmar culture. My audience can watch them for three months by paying 7,777 Kyats (about $5.73) for a subscription fee. For three months, it will cost only this. And with one login, a lot of family members will also be able to watch. I have no new performance to present elsewhere, I will broadcast from this channel only. (01:52 - 02:51).3. To tell you the truth, I gathered my whole team about a month ago when the [coronavirus] was a little bit under control. Then we practiced music, prepared a performance and also provided food. Then I also have to provide financial support. Now that the covid cases raised a bit more than usual, I don't let them go out. I keep them here in quarantine. Performing art will be created here. I have about 70 people. Some family members from my team do not have houses. So these people stay in my compound. They properly wash their hands, wear masks and stay healthy and eat vitamins C since COVID-19 pandemic started. (03:08 - 03:51).
