From its beginnings as a street performance in the UK, Stomp has grown into an international sensation. Over the last 30 years it’s been performed in more than 50 countries and in front of more than 26 million people.
The performers “make a rhythm out of anything we can get our hands on that makes a sound,”
says co-founder/director Luke Cresswell. Stomp offers a unique combination of percussion, movement and visual comedy. It has created its own inimitable, contemporary form of rhythmic expression: Both household and industrial objects find new life as musical instruments in the hands of an idiosyncratic band of body percussionists.
It is a journey through sound, a celebration of the everyday and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and drum. Synchronized stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra, eight Zippo lighters flip open and close to create a fiery fugue, wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. It’s safe to say you’ll never look carts, plumbing fixtures, paint cans, or kitchen sinks the same way!
