Stomp |
Stomp is a movement, of bodies, objects, sounds - even abstract ideas. There's no speech, no dialogue, not even a plot. But what makes it so appealing is that eight performers use everything from Zippo lighters, plastic bags, bin lids and even the kitchen sink to hammer out an explosively feel good rhythm.
So why go see Stomp? Well, have you ever composed a symphony using only matchbooks as instruments? Or created a dance routine based around sweeping? You may have done this a little, but get a group of rhythmically gifted, extremely coordinated bodies with definitive personalities, and you have the makings for Stomp.
Since its premiere at the Edinburgh Festival in 1991, Stomp has played to audiences around the world. It was featured on the 1996 Academy Award show after having received a nomination in the 'Short Film' category.
