Abstract

This research aims to redefine drama performance in the Indonesian Language Education Study Program (PBI) from just a vehicle for literary appreciation to a strategic instrument for the formation of students' innovative characters. The method used is a systematic literature study of publications in the last five years (2021–2025) that is relevant to drama learning, character education, and pedagogic innovation. The results of the analysis show that the innovative character of PBI students is built through three main stages, namely: (1) script adaptation based on intertextuality, (2) the use of digital stage technology, and (3) collaborative production management. These three stages encourage students to think creatively, dare to take artistic risks, and be able to solve problems collaboratively. The discussion emphasized that the drama production process functions as an "innovation laboratory" that trains students to move out of conventional patterns to the role of creators who are adaptive to technological developments and cultural contexts. This research introduces the concept of Innovative Drama Pedagogy which positions drama staging as a risk management and innovation simulation space for prospective teachers. It is concluded that the integration of drama, technology, and creative management is crucial to build pedagogic competencies that are transformative, inspiring, and responsive to the demands of the era of disruption.
