The Theatre-In-Education day program History in a Box, set in Fort Lytton National Park, provides the context for an inquiry into the significant historical features of the Moreton Bay area and the influence of the community in shaping this site, both in the past and today.
Through use of drama, students explore the connection of Fort Lytton to local and world events, places, people and the corresponding eras of history. They actively interrogate the physical site and historical sources. Theatre-In-Education actors build an appreciation of the events, people and lifestyles that influenced the local area, including Indigenous peoples.
The many themes explored stimulate questions, thoughts and feelings that motivate students to reflect on concepts of continuity and change and to explore these from various perspectives. They are asked to reflect on and record their personal opinions and views on the place and importance and significance of cultural heritage today.
