Date Issued 24 June 2024
Abstract This undergraduate thesis proposal constitutes a creative exploration of dramaturgy, with the specific objective of adapting Louisa May Alcott's Little Woman into a transcultural Filipino stage production, utilizing Jane Barnette's adaptation dramaturgy. The selection of the classic American novel as the literary centerpiece for a Filipino stage adaptation entails more than mere translation; it involves thoughtful adjustments to ensure resonance with the target audience's cultural context, values, and experiences. To realize the Filipino stage adaptation of Little Women, the initial step involves applying Jane Barnette’s process of adaptation dramaturgy in creating a dramaturgical study that translates the American novel to a Filipino stage adaptation set in the Rural Philippines in the late 1800s. Second, present a dramaturgical study that will serve as the basis of the playwright in writing the adaptation. Third and finally, produce the adaptation via collaborative engagement with an artistic team. This study culminates in the collaborative production of the adaptation, wherein an artistic team is engaged to bring the transcultural vision to life on stage. By combining adaptation dramaturgy, a culturally grounded dramaturgical study, and collaborative artistic efforts, this project seeks not only to adapt a literary classic but also to contribute to the diversification and enrichment of the Filipino theatrical landscape.
