All About Student Clubs

BY UTKU OBUZ (CTE/I)

Tiyatro Kulübü Drama Atölyesi

"To be whole is to be part; true voyage is return".

Laia Asei Odo, a character in the books of Ursula Leguin.

Drama Studio embraces the idea of "producing together." Everything that has been produced belongs to the members of club in Drama Studio and there is no job dilution. Being on the stage of Drama Studio is also being in the learning process. Drama Studio refuses to demote the theater to one dimension because theater is a "life studio." Humor, drama, philosophy, and politics are learned and relearned.

Drama Studio embraces moving in accordance with the society's motivation. For Drama Studio, what the important is not whether the ship reaches the harbor; it is how the ship tries to reach the harbor; the journey is the destination. Drama Studio is interested in how the product is produced instead of the product itself.

Bilkent Renkli Düşün

Bilkent Think Colorfully is a club to promote gay-straight alliance. It aims at creating awareness about some taboo issues like sexual orientation, gender identity, and social norms regarding sexuality itself. For this purpose the club is showing some very important and highly-awarded movies related to their focus. Arranging conferences is another aspect of how they tie several different subjects on common points. As all discrimination has some similarity, they have a great chance to address bigger number by working together with other suppressed groups. They also want to arrange workshops for Bilkent staff for a more gay-friendly campus.
