Teacher As a Leader Through Creative Drama
Many people in society seek various ways to give meaning to their existence. Young people, often seen as the future of society, take their place in the community as the generation building the future, constantly renewing themselves. A large portion of young people spend most of their lives as students in schools, engaging in education. Their goal is to change in order to grow and realize themselves. As seen in tragedies performed in Ancient Greece, characters—especially the main hero— experience transformation and self-realization during the play, while the audience is also captivated by the play's impact. By the end of the play, both the actors and the audience transition to a different emotional and intellectual state than when the play began. In this context, this presentation will address two Ancient Greek tragedy texts: Medea and Lysistrata. In Medea, the transformation of a woman experiencing betrayal and revenge is depicted. In Lysistrata, the story revolves around women uniting to stop a war through their efforts. In Attic theatres, the participatory audience would find themselves almost like actors in a play inspired by a social event. Similarly, the interaction between young students and drama can be observed in modern classrooms. When creative drama is applied in classrooms, the limited relationship between student and teacher is, to some extent, reduced. By engaging with creative drama, students help shape the classroom environment together with the teacher, offering a great opportunity for their future and an important time for self-discovery. The teacher, as a leader in the classroom, can change students' expectations, attitudes, and behaviors through creative drama. This enables students to improve themselves and realize their potential. By implementing transformational leadership in the classroom, teachers can maximize the benefits of creative drama.
