Zeitgeist is a retrospective of Zen Zen Zo's Butoh inspired dance-theatre works since 2000. Drawing from the critically acclaimed productions Unleashed, Those with Lucifer, and most recently Zen Zen Zo's international collaborations with American band The Dresden Dolls, Zeitgeist is a collection of raw and provocative pieces that reflect "the spirit (Geist) of our times (Zeit)". This groundbreaking work asks the question, how are we as human beings interacting with ourselves, each other, and the earth at the turn of the new Millennium? The answer is at times heart-breaking, at others humorous, but ultimately hopeful, as the dancers weave together physical theatre, poetic ritual, burlesque, camp, and comedy in Zen Zen Zo’s hallmark style.

SEASON:

What past critics had to say about Unleashed, Those with Lucifer and The Dresden Dolls shows:

"There seems to be a distinct visceral contact between performers and audience, which is like no ther form of theatre I have expirienced. This work was a maelstrom of flesh and spirit, with a keen tension sustained between the poignant and playful, all moving inexorably towards the heart-breaking climax. I couldn't sleep that night..."

"This highly erotic and nightmarish fantasy is exactly what you'd imagine David Lynch and Trent Reznor to come up with over coffee an cake."

"Here we see the perfection of the naked human body pushed to the limits of ecstasy and pain, a rare opportunity to experience a flawless embodiment of wit and passion."

"This show sets out to smash boundaries and succeseds with intelligence, creativity and dark originality. What they have achieved is edgy, eerie, sometimes riotously funny and often stunning."

In 2004, 2006 and 2007, Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre hosted exciting weekend workshops with Lawrence Graziose from the USA, a renowned teacher of The Enneagram and of the Zen Buddist/Taoist View of Human Nature. We are pleased to welcome him back in 2008 and he has suggested that this may be his last visit to Australia for a while due to exciting opportunities available to him in the USA…so this may be your last chance!
THE ENNEAGRAM WEEKEND WORKSHOP Sat 8 – Sun 9 March (10AM – 5PM)
The Enneagram is an ancient psychological model which analyses personality types, ego structures and behaviours. It will look at nine ego-fixations which can create suffering in our daily lives and it offers ‘antidotes’ which can counteract the tendency to follow these ego-habits. It proves to be very useful for our work as actors investigating human nature and for our own personal development.
WISDOM & COMPASSION WEEKEND WORKSHOP Sat 15 – Sun 16 March (10AM – 5PM)
The section on wisdom will focus on spiritual practices that are designed to create an open and expanded mind. The section on Compassion will focus on practices that are designed to open the heart centre to the ‘service of others’. Both sets of practices help us to find true happiness in our lives.

Super Massive will perform on the Urban Stage at Marrickville Road Festival, Marrickville on Sunday 9th September at 11am.

]]> Making its festival debut at Marrickville Road Festival this year is an artistic new band called Super Massive. Super Massive will perform on the Urban Stage at Marrickville Road Festival, Marrickville on Sunday 9th September at 11am.

Named for modern society’s collective fascination with superlatives and for the biggest and best! of everything as much as for their wall of sound, Super Massive is a synth pop rock band with exhilarating, danceable grooves, an emphasis on melody and an engaging, energetic stage presence. The band has a unique sound and a treasure trove of songs that respond to the nature of today’s urbanised, fast-paced world.

Much of the writing was inspired by the experience of living in inner Sydney over the last couple of years. Says singer Malina Hamilton-Smith “Some of the songs are observations of society, whilst some are escapism – but escapism of a realistic kind. The sort of escapism anyone can achieve, such as trying to take life at a slower pace, living in the moment or living in your body as opposed to your head.”

Unlike many electro-heavy bands, Super Massive is a full rock band line-up, with synth elements used to add layers of texture, creating a very full and distinctive sound. Influences stretch beyond the current fashion for 80s synthpop to embrace aspects of 70s rock, glam rock, funk, French electro and big beat, building an original sound that avoids ever being purely retro.

Formed in 2005, Super Massive’s chief writers are singer/performer/writer Hamilton-Smith and drummer/composer Glenn Abbott (best known for his work in Machine Gun Fellatio). Talented bassist John D. Young (Marcia Hines, Chuck Berry, Vanda & Young) joined in 2006.

Rhythm and groove is incredibly important to Super Massive. “We want the music to move people, physically and emotionally. Glenn and John are both very funky players, and it’s awesome when they really let loose, play something intense and challenging and carry the audience away with them. They’re very good at adding tasty playing without distracting from the core structure of the song.”

One of the most popular events of the inner west’s cultural calendar, the Marrickville Road Festival is a street party that attracts over 50,000 people a year. “We’re thrilled to have been asked to play. We’re still a very new band and haven’t released any of our music yet, so it’s a lovely surprise to have been asked to join the bill of such a wonderful community spirited event. It’s great to be a part of it and we’re looking forward to a really fun day.”

Genki Music Proudly Presents

TRIBAL DISCO III

Our third installment of genre transcending, mind bending, chakra mending disco beats....

Featuring Australia's finest;

Jet More (Brainwash)

Jet More's flamboyance behind the decks have made him an icon in the underground music scene. His unique brand of nu-wave electro funk is a melding of 80s new wave, electro, acid house, funk, and techno.
Jet has toured internationally playing at countless events and festivals including Burning Man and residency at

Tokyo superclub Pylon, and has releases on Transient, Victor/HMV, Subsonic and Sony collaborating with artists such as Tim Heally, Joujouka and Nick Taylor.
It seems more than fitting to have the man behind Cyberdelica join us for our third installment of Tribal Disco.

Schwa (Tribal Vision/Beef)

Schwa is currently residing in Sydney, away from his home the Czech Republic. Along with Slater, Schwa founded the Tribal Vision Record Label. Schwa is also behind a new sub-label with more of an electro tip called BEEF.
Schwa's innovative and creative mixing blends genres seamlessly, combining electro sounds that flow from deeper tribal progressive through electro, breaks and trance with pop and clash elements.
He rocked the dancefloor at the first Tribal Disco and we are pleased to have him join us once again.

suncontrolspecies (Iboga)

One of the most in demand artists in Australia, Drew aka SCS is undoubtably one of Australia's greatest musical talents, with releases on top labels worldwide including ZMA, Sub Machine, Starsound, Manta Recordings and Green Ant, and an upcoming album on Iboga.
SCS's smooth and intricate booty shakingly brilliant tech/prog/psy trance never failed to impress audiences worldwide.

Jack Unit

Melbourne palm clubbing icons Simon Slieker(Monotremes) and Heath Myers(Semi Retired) back to back on the decks.

Andrew Haig

The man behind Nocturnal parties, the Global Eyes calendar and cds, the Future Static radio program on PBS, as well as countless other events and projects, Andrew Haig has carved his own niche at the cutting edge of electronic dance music over the past 10 years.

11pm onwards Saturday May 20th @ Brown Alley
