Adaptation in contemporary performance takes on different forms and engages various strategies. In this article, Frank Camilleri explores the subject in terms of compositional devising via his practice as research in the area. He considers adaptation as a process of adjustment and modification that occurs at the level of format or organization, and which results from a change in context. He proposes terminological and structural frameworks, namely types, movements, modes, and phases of adaption. These taxonomies are then subsequently exemplified through three case studies from the author's performance and pedagogical work. Frank Camilleri is Associate Professor in Theatre Studies at the University of Malta, where he is Director of the School of Performing Arts and leads P21 (Performance 21), the research centre for Twenty-first Century Studies in Performance. He is Artistic Director of Icarus Performance Project and co-edits the Routledge/Icarus ‘Theatre as a Laboratory’ series.

颠倒公式：通过适应进行设计

当代表演中的改编采用不同的形式并采用不同的策略。在这篇文章中，Frank Camilleri 通过他在该领域的研究实践，从作曲设计的角度探讨了这个主题。他认为适应是发生在格式或组织层面的调整和修改过程，它源于环境的变化。他提出了术语和结构框架，即适应的类型、运动、模式和阶段。然后，这些分类法随后通过作者的表现和教学工作的三个案例研究来举例说明。Frank Camilleri 是马耳他大学戏剧研究副教授，他是表演艺术学院的院长，并领导 P21（表演 21），二十一世纪表演研究中心。他是 Icarus 表演项目的艺术总监，并共同编辑了 Routledge/Icarus 的“剧院作为实验室”系列。
