Dance theatre originally created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas.
Stomp is a movement, of bodies, objects, sounds - even abstract ideas. But what makes it so appealing is that the cast uses everyday objects, but in non-traditional ways.
There''s no speech, no dialogue, not even a plot.
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.
Stomp takes the everyday sounds of pipes and brooms, lighters and garbage pail lids, and creates the extraordinary.
Stomp had its premiere at the Edinburgh Festival in 1991 since when it''s played to audiences around the world including in Canada, Australia and America. It was featured on the 1996 Academy Award show after having received a nomination in the ''Short Film'' category for Brooms by Cresswell and co-creator McNicholas.
Please Note: The entire Upper Circle has a slightly restricted view: One five minute dance scene is missed entirely, people sitting in the Upper Circle will be able to hear the routine but not see it.
