Stomp (dance troupe)


Stomp is a percussion group (originating in Brighton, UK) that uses the body and ordinary objects to create a physical theatre performance.In September 2002, Stomp finally entered London’s West End at the Vaudeville Theatre, and later that year performed as part of the Royal Variety Show for the second time. Stomp is now in its fifth year in London.
In 2003, a Dolby DigitalTemplate:Dab inline trailer featuring Stomp performances debuted in cinemas across the globe, and the following year an Emmy nominated sequence was created for ABC Sports coverage of the World Figure Skating Championships.
In 2006, Stomp’s New York production passed its 5000th performance mark. In the same year, Cresswell and McNicholas directed a public service announcement for television called "Stomp Out Litter", which featured the cast "sweeping up" at iconic locations in the five boroughs. They also began filming an IMAX 3D movie about South Africa’s Sardine Run, to be released in early 2008.
In addition, they were commissioned to create and produce Pandemonium: the Lost and Found Orchestra, which takes the ideas behind Stomp to a symphonic level, in celebration of 40 years of the Brighton Festivalq. The LFO subsequently performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of the Sydney Festival early in 2007 and at the Royal Festival Hall in London. The show was reworked and renamed for a US tour in 2010: Pandemonium: the Lost and Found Orchestra.
In 2007, Stomp Out Loud opened in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino with an expanded cast and performed inside a new $28 million theater specifically created for the production.
