Winter Stomp: Training to Performance

NEW!! WINTER STOMP: TRAINING TO PERFORMANCE

Book Now - A Few Places Still Available

Following twelve years of the hugely popular Stomping Ground Summer Program which has sold out months in advance every year, Zen Zen Zo will offer Winter Stomp: Training to Performance for the first time in 2010. Over two weeks, Winter Stomp will focus on training in the Suzuki Method and Butoh in the morning sessions, followed by intensive laboratory sessions on devising theatre ("Composition") and applying training to performance. The course will be taught by Zen Zen Zo's senior practitioners - Artistic Director Lynne Bradley and Associate Director Stephen Atkins.

Composition is like scales for the director, a chance to practice creating dynamic moments on stage in a supportive environment with ongoing feedback. Composition classes will be taught by Stephen Atkins who brings a wealth of experience in techniques developed by Grotowski, Meyerhold and Anne Bogart. The program will also include a series of six "Key Ideas" seminars, which will explore several paradigms for theatrical creation and devised work, theatre history and the work of prominent practitioners.

This program is suitable for actors, directors, dancers and those seeking to refine their artistic practice by incorporating methodologies practiced by Zen Zen Zo. The course will provide many new opportunities for past Stomping Ground participants, but is also suitable for newcomers. Previous knowledge of the Viewpoints is useful but not required. Zen Zen Zo is committed to building a rigorous and vibrant theatre culture in Australia.

The program will be mentally and physically challenging and participants should be over 18 and come prepared to work hard.
