Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre

Zen Zen Zo is a Brisbane-based physical theatre company at the forefront of contemporary performance and training in Australia. Founded by Lynne Bradley and Simon Woods in 1992, the company creates theatrical experiences that are visually stunning and physically extreme, often involving audience interactivity.

Zen Zen Zo's Romeo & Juliet was first created in 2005 for the Queensland Arts Council. The performance was a hit with students and teachers throughout Queensland and continued to tour for 3 years around regional Queensland, metropolitan Brisbane, and eventually Hong Kong. Re-directed by Zen Zen Zo Associate Artist Katrina Cornwell, featuring Zen Zen Zo senior company members Harriet Devlin and Dale Thorburn and outstanding new Internship graduate Sam Plummer, this radical adaptation of the Shakespearean classic will once again engage young people through the dynamic physicality, contemporary music and choreography, and combination of classic and modern text.

Composer: Chris Perren

Performers: Harriet Devlin, Sam Plummer, Dale Thorburn
