The papers in this journal cover: Indian theatre aesthetics and philosophy; actors' and critics' experimental points of views; a discussion of the nature of consciousness in Shakespeare's "Hamlet"; and an analysis of altered states of consciouness as experienced by Walter Benjamin.

This is volume 1, part 4 of the Performing Arts International forum. This collection of essays covers a breadth of topics on the theme of consciousness; addressing the trend of studies trying to put human experience into more concrete, cogent, less poetic and metaphorical terms. Major issues raised by the essays are summarised, and a hypothesis serving as a stimulus for further research and debate is suggested by the volume's conclusion.
