Welcome to Dramakarma


Latests News!

We are taking a little break…

16th July 2024

We wanted to share some news with you today. After much consideration, we’ve decided to put Dramakarma on hold for a little while. The last few months have brought some unexpected challenges our way, and we realised that we need to take a bit of a break to recharge and refocus.

When we first set up Dramakarma, our mission was to create a space for young people to express their talents and emotions, especially during the tough times of the pandemic. We wanted to offer something unique, something that could bring joy and support to their well-being. And what an incredible journey it has been! We’ve had so much fun, with countless moments of laughter and inspiration thanks to your amazing children.

Watching the children in our groups grow in confidence and learn to support one another has been truly heart-warming. From our performances for parents to the various holiday clubs, each experience has been a memorable adventure. We’ve organised one and two-day events at the Rewilded Quarry with Super Roots, participated in the Shakespeare for Schools festival, and written and created memorable shows like Mole Valley, The Last Matron at Rook Lane and 2000 Days at Rook Lane, and The Merlin. Most recently, we even had the privilege of coaching young storytellers for Refugee Week.

We plan to take this time to carefully evaluate and decide on the best future direction for Dramakarma. Our goal is to return refreshed and better than ever with a relaunch in January 2025.

Building the ‘2000 Days’ Project

Find out more about our 2000 days project and about the evacuees that came to Frome in 1939 until 1945.

After our production of the Last Matron we wanted to make a contribution to Frome’s Local History Festival, and in particular, working with young people to create the piece. Last year the book, ‘The Coopers’ Company’s School in Frome 1939-45’, became available as a digital resource, making research and sharing of ideas around the stories a lot easier. Using the resource, we decided to create a dramatic piece with a cast of 13-18 year olds…. Read more


Comedy of Error – Shakespeare Schools Festival

04/11/2022
A journey that began last May with a group of young people between the ages of 7 – 16 ended last night in the best possible way with a vibrant, hilarious, polished performance of Comedy of Errors at the Merlin theatre. 

Comments from audience

“Young lad on our row was in stitches with every moment of physical comedy.” – John

It was wonderful to see the actors taking the acclaim at the end in full character and then sit down and become children again with the widest beams on their faces”. – Steve

“Fantastic performance that we really enjoyed – energetic, clear, fluid, funny and a colourful telling of a great story!” – Maria

Comments from SSF

“A brilliant, brilliant performance! They totally nailed it. I especially loved the human missile!” 
Beth

From our point of view it was wonderful to see a group who began partly as strangers become team members and friends connected and motivated by the same purpose. We saw the magic of live theatre last night in which every moment of the performance felt like it was happening for the first time with all the actors raising their game. Moments that will stay with these young people for the rest of their lives as glowing moments of pride, achievement and togetherness. Who knows where it will lead? 

The wonderful journey goes on…


We have started creating a few online resources whilst we are in lockdown to provide some fun filled activities whilst they are at home.

Welcome to Dramakarma. We are based in Frome and provide drama classes for kids aged 7 – 16 in and around the the town, including Trowbridge, Warminster and Bath.

We have a passion for drama and performance and through our classes we aim to provide a safe space where children can just be themsleves and set their inhibitions worries aside. Well being is at the centre of everything that we do.

We hope to inspire you by creating and exploring imaginary worlds, having fun and laughing out loud. We will create a theatre space in which everyone is welcome to share their own slant on things, sometimes the more bizarre the better. We aim to have serious fun, respect those serious moments when they come along, but remember not to take ourselves too seriously. We are dedicated towards feeling good through Drama between ourselves and in the community.

Join our mailing list to get regular updates and upcoming classes, workshops and events.


“Dramakarma have brought the children’s project learning to life. Some of the quietest students have grown in confidence. The props and clues that Kevin and Chloe provide are truly inspirational and draw everyone right into the heart of the drama, all desperate to contribute their ideas. The club is always fully booked. Highly recommended.”

George Muxworthy, Rode and Norton St Philip School Federation
