STOMP - THE BROADWAY, WEST END AND INTERNATIONAL SENSATION
RETURNS TO Australia from 13 August, AND IT’S BETTER THAN
EVER!
Following
their acclaimed performance at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012
Olympics, STOMP
returns to Australia from 13 August, with new routines, new choreography and
new music.
Its
universal language of rhythm, theatre, comedy and dance has resonated with
audiences throughout the world, setting feet stamping, fingers drumming and
adrenalin rushing for over 15 million people in 50 countries across 5
continents. STOMP is currently playing
in the UK, US, throughout Europe and South America.
Eight
performers use everything from supermarket trolleys to Zippo lighters, plastic
bags to bin lids, and even the kitchen sink to hammer out an explosively
feel-good rhythm.
STOMP is a
show that continues to evolve – new music and choreography now join a fresh
array of ordinarily mundane objects, onto which the cast work their musical
magic. Two new routines that have been
introduced in 2013 include “Trolleys” and “Frogs”. Trolleys taps into the everyday experience of
negotiating a busy shopping aisle with a fully laden supermarket trolley, with
the piece transforming into STOMP’s first ever fully fledged drum corps march.
Certainly an eye-catching spectacle.
Frogs explores the bizarre sonic possibilities of a variety of plumbing
fixtures. It has to be heard to be
believed!
In one
spectacular routine, paint cans are tossed between the performers, as they
simultaneously build an astonishingly complex rhythm over every surface of the
airborne cans. With the emphasis very
much on ‘spectacular’, the Stompers are also joined by inflated monster truck
inner tubes strapped around their waists to create both a dance of bobbing,
whirling rubber skirts and pounding, portable drum kits – the ultimate
redefinition of ‘surround sound’.
Still
remaining is STOMP’s signature high-octane mix of slick choreography, tight
ensemble work, industrial percussion, and continuous comedy; as the
irrepressible troupe of eight performers turn brooms into soft shoe partners,
clapping into intricate conversations and water cooler bottles into sophisticated
instruments.
STOMP last
visited Australia in 2009 and enjoyed a sell-out season. “We are really excited about coming back to
Australia,” says STOMP’s Co-Creator/Director Steve McNicholas. “If you’ve never seen STOMP you should come
and see what all the noise is about, and if you’ve seen it before then this
show has plenty of new routines to enthral.”
