Zen Zen Zo's week-long intensive training programs, which have taken place in cities all over Australia, have become popular annual events, introducing performers, directors and teachers to the exciting physical actor-training techniques of the Suzuki Method of Actor Training, the Viewpoints, and Butoh Dance Theatre.

These courses take the participants on a journey of transformation, both personally and professionally, as we investigate the ingredients of “extra-ordinary theatre” in a rigorous, fun, and challenging environment. These programs have been held since 2004 inSydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Darwin, Launceston and Vancouver (Canada).
