  • Publications
    PUBLICATIONS by Kumud Mehta Asst. Director. Programmes and Publications The Trustees of the National Centre decided, soon af~er its inception. to publish a Quarterly Journal to develop and improve the knowledge, understanding and practice of the arts. Its primary concern was to be music, dance, drama and, to some extent. film. In pursuance of this objective, the Quarterly Journal has been published every quarter since September 1972 and has built a solid readership over the years. The Journal is addressed to the adult cultivated reader, not necessarily to any specialist. but to one with a serious interest in the arts. It includes articles on the arts by distinguished authorities in the f ield from India and abroad. It has a News and Notes section which covers the major cultural events of the quarter. The Book Reviews examine important publications and the Record Reviews offer comments on major disc releases. The range of the Journal's coverage is noteworthy: in theatre, from early Sanskrit drama and the architecture of ancient koothambalam-s to contemporary and innovative attempts exploring 'the theatre of al~ possibilities'; in music, from an examination of an ancient Sanskrit text like the DatttJam to experiments in modern jazz; in dance, from an investigation into the tenets of the Natya Shastra and its many commentaries to glimpses into the present-day dance scene; in t he visual arts, from a study of the earliest stone sculptures and cave paintings to a survey of Expressionism and modern film posters. And besides all this, it encompasses a host of areas and movements, in time and space, leaving out very little of any significance.
