Prof. Dr. Nazım Sarıkaya. The Department of Acting at Istanbul Beykent University continues to encourage students to explore theatre from diverse perspectives. In this context, the activities held on 23 May 2025 in classroom E2-03 of the Ayazağa-Maslak Campus aimed to broaden students’ perspectives on theatre. The seminars and workshops, which introduced both traditional and contemporary approaches to visual design in theatre, made a significant contribution to shaping students’ perceptions of the stage. The event began with a talk by Cultural Heritage Bearer Cengiz Samsun on the art of Karagöz and its historical evolution, and continued with hands-on sessions in which students actively participated in the creation of visual depictions. Asst. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Ali Zeren, on the other hand, carried out stage and costume design exercises from a geometric perspective, using sound, light, and paper in an improvised manner, based on the concept of space in theatre. At the end of the activities, in which students actively took part, stage and costume designs were created using traditional Karagöz imagery, paper, and geometric objects. Asst. Prof. Dr. Nazım Sarıkaya, academic staff member of the Department of Acting at the Faculty of Fine Arts and moderator of the event, shared his reflections on the event and emphasised the importance of Acting students engaging with their profession through the lens of visual arts. Sarıkaya stated, ‘When an actor perceives the stage as a three-dimensional geometric space and positions themselves within this framework, it brings a dynamic dimension to the performance.’ Highlighting the importance of returning to the roots of art, Sarıkaya emphasised that passing down traditional Turkish theatre elements such as Karagöz through a master-apprentice relationship adds depth to the stage practices of young actors.
