WINTER STOMP: TRAINING TO PERFORMANCE
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.
