Last night went to experience STOMP - which is a dynamic combination of tap dance, percussion and comedy. Was unlike anything I've experienced and seemingly combined Street (urban), Calypso, African and Asian themes into the one performance.
The beauty of the show was in synchronised percussion using 'whatever' and I mean just that. From tins, pots, signs, cigarette packets, tire tubes to the kitchen sink was utilised for making a rhythmic tones.
As we had scored third row seats the impact of the drumming was felt to the core of our body. The STOMP crew had really great interaction with the audience and while they never spoke and limited their communications to their eyes, expressions, hand signals and grunts. A international language but they have everyone tapping, stomping and clapping in 30 different ways and patterns. STOMP out to see if you you get a chance.......
