Meet Rosa Parks whilst we travel back to the 1950’s to explore how, within America’s ‘Golden Age’, the injustices of prejudice, segregation and racism flourished, but so too did the growth of ‘The Civil Rights Movement’. Led by Rosa, the children will discover how ordinary people have been making a difference, by championing human and civil rights, throughout history. During the session the children will explore what America was like in the 1950’s, through improvisation, act out Rosa’s story and discuss what sparks a ‘movement’, whilst creating a ‘time line’ of Rosa's remarkable life!

"The actor was engaging and informative, and did a brilliant job of bringing Rosa Park's story to life. We also appreciated the inclusion of the Black Lives Matter movement to have a powerful discussion with young people about racism in today's society, in which the discussion was facilitated in a sensitive and age appropriate manner…. The content covered added huge value to our programme and enabled students to explore some big issues in a really immersive and effective way."
Through drama, children are able to experience a subject, complementing and enhancing their learning in the classroom. The Drama Hut was founded in 2012, as a resource for primary schools, to help bring the curriculum to life and support learning. Whether you choose to have us visit you online or on-site, our workshops are delivered live, offering an interactive learning experience for all primary school aged children throughout the United Kingdom and abroad.
We require a clear space to work in and at least one member of staff to be present. We work with a maximum of 30 children at a time, unless prearranged with the school.
