A STUDY ON OPINIONS OF THEATRE STUDENTS ABOUT THE PLAY-TEXT CONVERTIBILITY DURING PRODUCTION
Öz
Written text is the basis of dramatic theatre. Play scripts, while having philosophical, literary an
deven historical attributes until the beginning of the 20th century, have been taken into account
within the context of stage performance after the second half of the 20th century. Especially 1960s
were the years when the sanctity of the text was broken. By re-writing through transformation via
radically unique approaches and aesthetics, ispiring productions have been manifested. From this
point on, the following questions can be directed: Where does the script stand within the applied area
of theatre? How and to what extent can the text can be transformed? And what are the thoughts of
performing arts students on the subject? The purpose of this research is to contribute to the discussion
explained above, and within this context, examine and learn about the opinions and thoughts of the
performing arts students on the place of the text, its convertibility within the field of application of
theatre. The method of this study is qualitative data research and focus group interview has been
used as one of the data collection tools of this method. Two focus group interviews were held with
participants who were trained in Dramatic Writing, Acting and Stage Design and the interviews were
analyzed separately by descriptive analysis and content analysis by two researchers. Findings of the
study: All participants shared the same opinion regarding that the text of the play would be changed
and transformed during the staging, but different opinions have been put forward as to what extent
the text may be altered. Although the Performers and the Designer Participants took the text as the
starting point, it is interesting that the Author Participants opposed to the participants taking the text
as a starting point. The text is perceived differently, semantically and functionally within the context
of specializations, while other areas do not taken into account in collective production. As a result,
it may be suggested that studies should be undertaken to overcome sensitivities in the context of
texts and that students should be directed to work in professional life to add other areas of collective
production.
