Inspired by Perfect Show for Rachel, directed live by Rachel who is learning disabled and lives in a care home, allows for her to have complete control over everything.

We have created a totally unique engagement model for bringing the creative practices we used to work with Rachel to broader demographics, working with more disabled adults, with the programme delivered in care homes and other care settings.

We were fortunate to embark on international partnership whilst staying in our home at Stanley Arts. Funded by British Council Indonesia’s ‘Connections Through Culture’ programme, we underwent a 5-day digital residency with Sakatoya, a theatre collective in Jogjakarta that drives themes of sustainability in their design-led work.

Across 6 (mostly) glorious days in August, Zoo Co brought a theatre tent to Surrey Street Market in Croydon. From Poetry Takeout to a Puppet Zoo, dancing Drag Kings to a MESSY mayhem of a show, we had an incredible time meeting over 1,000 people from all over Croydon, and beyond! 

In March 2024 Zoo Co and a creative team of Visually Impaired and sighted artists came together, led by Jack Norris, a disabled movement director, and Flo O’Mahony, Artistic Director of Zoo Co. They developed Jack's script Memories of the Marshland and explored creative audio description and creative access within the piece. Watch the public sharing and panel discussion here.

Self-Care Club was a free digital programme and creative care package for 15 - 18-year-olds living or studying in Croydon, from 25th January to 5th March 2021. We knew the government has failed young people during this pandemic. This project is about finding time for self-care, creativity and togetherness during the third national lockdown

An immersive site specific show which strengthens children’s creative and academic learning and life skills through immersive storytelling – the programme encourages children to free their imagination, tell their story, write what they feel and create a unique devised performance.

Theatre on the High Street was a temporary, pop up theatre space within the Whitgift Centre, Croydon run by Zoo Co from May 2018 - January 2019. Supported by Arts Council funding, we turned a long-standing empty shop into a creative space to serve the Croydon Community.
