STOMP

But what, you ask, is STOMP? “Bashing, crashing, smashing, swishing, banging and kicking — a joyous invention!” (Chicago Tribune). The eight-member troupe returns to the Harris Center, using everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. They’re a “Triumph in the infinite variety of the human experience” (Los Angeles Times). From its beginnings as a street performance in the UK, STOMP has grown into an international phenomenon, garnering armfuls of awards, rave reviews and appearances on numerous national television shows. “If you haven’t seen STOMP, go! If you have seen it, take someone and share the pleasure!” (Boston Globe).
