Why was stomp created

There is no dialogue in the show, and only the thinnest of stories. The music is created within the dance, but the dance itself is dependent on the music for its rhythm and character. STOMP shows a true marriage of movement and music, where both create and enhance each other. Stomp is a percussion performance group that started out in Brighton, England in and became famous for using the body and ordinary objects to create a physical percussion performance.

A collage of sorts, the set was full of items we see on an everyday basis, from street signs to hubcaps to barrels.

There was rhythm from the start of the show. With just one man on stage and a broom, he was the start of what would become a sea of rhythm made with each brush or slam of the broom. As other dancers joined in, brooms in hand, the rhythm transformed into different parts building in speed and volume. The brooms almost became tap shoes in a way, with each motion of the brooms. With each strategic slam or brush of their brooms, the dancers added tapping with the brooms, making it feel like a percussive beat of drums.

STOMP differed in many ways from any other show I have seen mainly because of the audience participation. The audience was interwoven into the production seamlessly, which made the performance like one big block party. Whether it was a clapping rhythm or stomping, we were made a part of the cast during certain moments.
