2009 will mark Stomping Ground's 11th year. This annual physical theatre summer intensive training program, which was the first of its kind in Australia, will once again be led by Zen Zen Zo Artistic Directors Lynne Bradley and Simon Woods as well as guest artists, puppeteers Keira Lyons and Vanessa Ellis.
"The best kick-start to a year I've ever had. A kick up the bum mentally and physically - like nitro for an actor: I loved it!" Peter Rasmussen (Actor)

The aim of this 3-week course is to introduce artists to a range of physical theatre disciplines including the Suzuki Method, Butoh, Viewpoints and the guest artist's area of expertise. The course will provide a solid basis in these approaches focusing on developing the performer's physical, vocal and ensemble skills. It is also a journey of transformation - both personally and professionally, as participants begin the new year by refining their goals for 2009, shaping their craft, and meeting fellow artists with similar interests and beliefs.

"The reputation and intensity of Zen Zen Zo's training methods are agonizingly superior to anything I have ever done. As an improviser, structure is essential, and the ritualised and rigorous processes of Stomping Ground fed my spontaneity and creativity."
Rea Dennis (Community Theatre Artist)
