Süreçsel drama çalışmalarında duygular dramatik kurgunun inşa edilmesinde önemli bir yer tutar. Katılımcılar bu çalışmalarda farklı rollere girerler, çeşitli doğaçlamalar yaparlar. Süreçsel dramadaki her adım katılımcıların drama kolaylaştırıcıyla kolektif biçimde inşa ettikleri duygudan doğrudan ya da dolaylı biçimde beslenir. Bu nedenle katılımcıların bireysel duygularının, grubun kolektif duygusunun süreçsel drama çalışmalarını yönlendiren önemli bir kaynak olduğu söylenebilir. Süreçsel drama çalışması yalnızca kurmaca bir zemindeki karakterlere yönelik duyguları değil aynı zamanda katılımcıların gerçek yaşamdaki duygularını dramatik kurgunun bir parçası haline getirir. Katılımcılar role girerek dramatik kurgudaki bir karakterin neler hissettiğini keşfeder, bu karakterle empati kurar. Süreçsel dramadaki duygusal katılım aynı zamanda katılımcıların duygusal ve düşünsel açıdan toplumsal olana içkin inşa edilen mesafeleri gözden geçirmeleri konusunda fırsatlar yaratır. Bu araştırmanın amacı bir süreçsel drama çalışmasında duyguların dramatik kurguyu ve katılımcıları nasıl yönlendirdiğine ve katılımcıların bireysel duygusuna, grubun kolektif duygusuna ve dramatik kurgunun duygusuna yönelik sanatsal bir perspektif oluşturmaktır. Aynı zamanda duygusal mesafe ve koruma konusunda duyguların işlevine yönelik yeni bakış açıları geliştirmektir. Bu amaçla süreçsel dramada katılımcıların duygularını doğrudan ya da dolaylı etkileyen dramatik kurgu, rol, doğaçlama, duygu, empati, duygusal mesafe, yabancılaşma ve koruma gibi kavramlar üzerinde durulmuş, süreçsel dramanın toplumsal sorunlara yönelik kolektif bir duygu inşasındaki rolü tartışmaya açılmıştır.

Building a Collective Emotion with Process Drama

Öz

Emotions play a significant role in the construction of dramatic fiction within process drama studies. Participants in these studies take on different roles and make various improvisations. Every step in process drama benefits directly or indirectly from the emotion collectively constructed by the participants and the drama leader. Therefore, it can be argued that personal emotions of the participants and the collective emotion of the group are important sources which lead process drama studies. Process drama makes not only the emotions towards characters in a fictional basis but also participants’ real-life emotions a part of the dramatic fiction. Participants discover how a character in the dramatic fiction feels and they empathize with this character by entering into the role. Emotional involvement in process drama, at the same time, creates opportunities for participants to examine emotionally and intellectually constructed distances inherent in the social. The aim of this study is to create an artistic perspective on how emotions direct the dramatic fiction and the participants, and on the individual emotion of the participants, the collective emotion of the group and the emotion of the dramatic fiction in a process drama workshop. It also aims to create new perspectives on the function of emotions regarding emotional distance and protection. For this end, concepts such as dramatic fiction, role, improvisation, emotion, empathy, emotional distance and protection, which directly or indirectly affect the emotions of the participants in a dramatic fiction, are emphasized, and the role of process drama in the construction of a collective emotion towards social problems is discussed.
