Are you ready to embark on an adventure where the everyday turns into the extraordinary? Where imagination is the star? At Zozimus Drama, we believe creativity is more important than perfection—and drama should be about play, not pressure.
Here’s why we do things a little differently…
Rethinking Drama: The “No Shows” Approach
When people hear “drama class,” they often think of scripts, lines to learn, and final performances under bright lights. But at Zozimus, we’ve taken a different path—one where the process is the performance.
We call it our “No Shows” approach.
Rather than building towards a big end-of-term show, our focus is on creative exploration. No spotlights. No lines to memorise. No pressure to perform in front of a crowd. Just freedom to invent, imagine, and get wonderfully, delightfully silly.
Because when the pressure to “get it right” disappears, the real magic begins.
Why No Shows Work Wonders
🌟 Unleashed Imagination
Without a final performance looming, children feel safe to try out bold ideas. They can be dragons one week and detectives the next. No idea is too “out there.”
🌟 Confidence Without Judgment
We’ve seen shy children grow into bold storytellers—not because they had to perform, but because they got to play. When there’s no audience, there’s no fear of making mistakes.
🌟 Collaboration Over Competition
Our classes aren’t about being the star. They’re about being part of the story. That means listening to others, working as a team, and celebrating everyone’s creativity.
🌟 Emotional Growth
Drama helps children understand different points of view. By stepping into a character’s shoes, they develop empathy, resilience, and emotional intelligence—skills that last far beyond the classroom.
What Happens in a Zozimus Session?
Our sessions are packed with adventure, imagination, and just the right amount of mischief. Take a peek…
🧪 The Curiousitors (ages 3.5–6)
Our youngest adventurers might find themselves at a Wizarding School in Wonderland, where potions bubble and time runs backwards! Inspired by C.S. Lewis and a twist of magic, the children become curious students who must rescue the Queen’s talking teacup before the White Rabbit’s clock runs out. It’s not just acting—it’s problem-solving, storytelling, and full-body play.
📚 The Wonderators (ages 6–10)
Older children dive into a world full of mystery and mayhem as we reimagine A Series of Unfortunate Events. Each session becomes a new chapter in the Baudelaire saga, where the children become secret agents helping to solve riddles, escape Olaf’s disguises, and rewrite the ending with their own wild twists. Expect laughter, teamwork, and clever improvisation.
🎧 The Imagincreators (ages 10–16)
For our teen adventurers, drama becomes deeper, bolder, and even more exciting. In one session, they might explore Stranger Things through physical theatre, using their bodies to become forests, portals, or even the Mind Flayer itself. Add in soundscapes created with voices and props, and the atmosphere comes alive with tension, teamwork, and raw creativity. It’s not just drama—it’s immersive world-building with meaning and heart.
🪄 Props and Play
We use spoons, hats, boxes, and even invisible objects to spark creativity. A spoon isn’t just a spoon—it’s a spell stirrer, a time machine lever, or the key to a mysterious vault. Everything has potential when you’re using your imagination.
The Big Picture
We’re not training child actors. We’re nurturing creative thinkers, problem-solvers, and brave communicators. Our sessions mix storytelling, imaginative play, and collaborative games to help children:
- Express themselves confidently
- Think outside the box
- Understand and respect others
- Feel proud of their ideas
And the best part? It’s all wrapped up in FUN.
