On March 25, 2026, a seminar titled "From Script to Stage: Surviving Your First English Play" was held at the Bartın University Ağdacı Campus Conference Hall for students in the English Preparatory Program.
Every year, students in the English Preparatory Program participate in a theater performance process. This year, the process was enhanced by this additional seminar, aiming to provide students with a more conscious and well-equipped start to their stage preparations.
The seminar was designed to benefit students in their Theater Performance assessment, which is one of the official grading criteria for the Compulsory Preparatory Program. The session covered essential topics, including:
Scriptwriting and Adaptation: Techniques for writing short scripts and adapting existing texts.
Physical Preparation: Correct breathing techniques for stage performance, as well as tongue, lip, and facial exercises.
Vocal Training: Warm-up exercises to prepare the voice for the stage.
Stagecraft: Fundamentals of stage usage, diction, and articulation.
In addition to technical skills, the event shared key tips to help students make their performances more fluent and enjoyable while maintaining self-confidence on stage.
We believe this valuable and engaging seminar will significantly contribute to our English Preparatory Program students approaching their theater performances with greater preparation and confidence. We would like to extend our gratitude to Lecturer Zeki Cem Kaçar for this insightful session.
