TIME SHIFT DRAMA WORKSHOPS
In 2022, Forged by Fire ran a series of historical 'Time Shift Drama' workshops with Key Stage 3 and 4 (years 8-10) students at Beckfoot Upper Heaton School (Bradford) and Hurworth School (Darlington). Drama techniques and story-telling are a fun and creative way in which students can learn historical content and drama techniques, develop transferable skills and build confidence.
Please watch our evaluation video on YouTube (opens a new window) to learn more. You can also watch a video of our first workshop at Hurworth School in July 2022.
Download our free learning resources to run your own themed drama workshops. These are suitable for students at secondary school interested in history and drama, predominantly at Key Stage 3.
Resource booklet - contains background to the project, templates, and scripts
​
The workshop is organised into four parts, each designed to last for half-a-day. Each session has a Power-Point file, containing ice-breaker activities, drama games and role-playing, discussion questions and quizzes (with answers - a good way of keeping tabs on student engagement). Accompanying resources are in the resource booklet.
