ORCHESTRA, dance magazine, Belgrade, Serbia
the first and only professional magazine in Serbia entirely dedicated to all forms of dance as an art. First issue published on 29th of April 1995 on the occasion of the celebration of
the International Dance Day - CID-UNESCO. Since 2003, the editor-in-chief is Mrs. Ivana Milovanović. Previous editors-in-chief:
- Mrs. Milena Katić Šerban ( 1995-1996)
-
Mrs. Milica Zajcev (1996-1998)
- Mrs. Marija Janković (1998-2003). The magazine is published from donations, founders' investment and with a humble contribution on the part of the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Serbia and the Secretariat for Culture of the City of Belgrade. Irregular and insufficient inflow of funds for this magazine which falls under cultural periodicals resulted in the fact that it was being irregularly published from 2000 onward. Therefore, instead of the initial four editions per year, the widely known reality had to be accepted, and one or two editions were published annually which was a difficult task and even a challenge to its founder and associated. Additionally, it should be emphasized that all authors and correspondents cooperate, that is write for the magazine without authors' honoraria. Despite this fact, all of them, from issue to issue throughout the years, improve the quality of the content of every new edition. Up to the end of 2013, 58 issues of the magazine were published (often as a double or even triple and quadruple issues...) in circulation of over 40.000 copies. The triple issue 56/58 (December 2012) was published in print in circulation of 1.300 copies. The quadruple issue 59/62 (April 2014) covers all relevant happenings in the field of artistic dance throughout the entire year of 2013. The issue 59/62 of the magazine Orchestra is the first one to be published on the internet in electronic format (Pdf) as the founders and the associates had wished for it to become available to the wider possible audience of readers in Serbia, the region, Europe and worldwide. ORCHESTRA is free copy.
