NSD reaches out to northeast for unearthing talent

Agartala: India's
premier theatre school, the National School of Drama (NSD) is
reaching out to young people in the northeast to search for hidden
talent, its director Anuradha Kapur said here Friday.
"Theatre is being integrated with the normal educational system.
The NSD through various means would reach out among the talented
young boys and girls of far-off places of the country," Kapur told
reporters.
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar late Thursday evening
inaugurated a NSD center in Agartala, the second of its kind after
the one in Karnataka.
"To protect Indian culture, give young people a rich cultural
mindset and to draw attention to unexploited traditions, the NSD
has of late modified its entire programme," Kapur said.
She said the NSD would organise workshops very frequently in the
northeastern states for the tribal performers, artistes and actors
of the region, that would tap the unexploited talent in the state.
"The approach should be to change the mindset of the people to
come out of their self-centeredness and become real human beings.
Such attempts would help in creating socially conscious people,"
the chief minister said.
The New Delhi-based NSD, under the union ministry of culture, was
set up by the Sangeet Natak Akademi as one of its constituent
units in 1959. It became an independent entity in 1975 and has
been organising drama festivals, workshops and theatre-related
programmes across the country.
