STOMPING GROUND: AUSTRALIA'S LEADING PHYSICAL THEATRE SUMMER SCHOOL
A fantastic experience! A whole bunch of new tools, practical and dynamic, wrapped up in a blanket of holistic yumminess! Stimulating, useful, thought‑provoking and challenging – I enjoyed every minute.
Julie Nolan (Artistic Director, Red Leap Theatre, New Zealand).
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 (Casting Director).
2024 will mark Stomping Ground’s 25th year. This annual physical theatre summer intensive training program, which was the first of its kind in Australia, is led by Zen Zen Zo founders Lynne Bradley and Simon Woods, Zen Zen Zo company members and selected guest artists.
The aim of this 2-week course is to introduce participants to a range of physical theatre disciplines including Zen Zen Zo’s specialty areas of the Suzuki Method, Butoh, and Viewpoints. Stomping Ground provides a solid base in these methods 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 the year, shaping their craft, and meeting fellow artists and creative souls with similar interests and beliefs.
