Haldun Dormen's book "To Be or to BE" is reunited with readers.
The previously published but long-lost book "To Be or to Become" is presented for the first time under the umbrella of ANYA Publications, with its carefully prepared new edition, offering both a nostalgic and contemporary experience.
DORMEN'S LIGHT FOR YOUNG ARTISTSHaldun Dormen describes the process that went through his mind while writing the book with these words:
"I started writing, I thought, 'What can I say without sounding cocky?' Finally, I thought, 'What's the point?' and gave up that night. But the publishers insisted, and this book finally emerged. I hope my writing will guide young artists. I was saddened that the book wasn't available for so long; its re-release now makes me truly happy."
This sincere and humorous approach reveals that the work is not only a guide on theatre, but also a life journey that inspires younger generations.
The republication of the book “To Be or to BE” is not only about keeping a cultural heritage alive; it is also part of a sustainable arts education vision.
Founded under the inspiration of Haldun Dormen, the Dormen Academy has been working for years with the mission of guiding young people in the performing arts. Training, particularly in children's acting and musical classes, is provided under the supervision of psychological support in collaboration with Ayna Education and Psychological Counseling Center.
In this way, children develop not only through the performing arts but also on a healthy emotional foundation. Because theater is a formative experience for everyone, the first step onto the stage must be a solid one.
Furthermore, ANYA Publications, established under the AYNA umbrella, continues this same approach in publishing. This updated edition of "To Be or to Be" stands out as a significant part of this unique structure where education and art intertwine.
WHY IS THIS PRINT IMPORTANT?Published for the first time under the ANYA Publishing label, it brings prestige and a fresh perspective to the book market. It has a collectible value: a long-lost work becomes accessible again.
The union of art and education: The shared vision of Dormen Academy and Ayna Eğitim reveals that art plays a role not only on stage but also in emotional and mental development.
