June – September 1997. Editor: Anjum Katyal<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Manipur today is struggling. With itself, and with the Indian polity. The relationship with the dominant state, India, is wounded, suspicious. How should a conscious, self-critical, thinking theatre person react to it? ('Experimental Theatre in Manipur') This question runs like a swollen vein through all theatre activity in Manipur today. And Manipur is intensely theatre active. It was impossible to cover the entire spectrum in this special issue;inevitably, certain personalities, aspects and features await their due attention.\r\n\r\n<\/span>The central focus of this issue is the experimental theatre that, in the early 70s emerged as a strong presence, emphasizing the exploration of traditional forms, reshaping techniques, themes and training methodologies, often incorporating thang-ta (the martial arts form of Manipur), and folk and classical dance.<\/span><\/pre>\n
