Term 2: Romeo & Juliet
SECONDARY - YEAR 8 TO 12
Experience Shakespeare like never before through dynamic physicality, contemporary beats and both classic and modern text.
Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre’s Romeo & Juliet was first created in 2005 and was a hit with students and teachers throughout Queensland.
At the request of teachers statewide we return Romeo & Juliet for a new generation. Students will explore Shakespearean language and the tale of two-star crossed lovers through physical theatre.
Filled with love, lust, hatred and betrayal, this performance creates 16th Century characters modern students can relate to.
