 Zen Zen Zo’s first production was entitled Never
the Elephant - a loose translation of “Zen Zen Zo”. This 40-minute work constituted part of Lynne
Bradley’s honours thesis at the University of Queensland on Butoh, and was
showcased for the first time on 29 October, 1992. It was restaged a month later
to a full house at the Cement Box Theatre.
Involving 8 performers, Never the Elephant was Butoh at
its rawest. The response to this show,
Brisbane’s first Butoh, was overwhelmingly positive, and encouraged Lynne to
keep experimenting in this area.
