STOMP!
Have you ever been bored in class and start trying to make music or a rythm with your hands or with your pen? This is similar to what Stomp is, another kind of music. They make music with different kinds of objects. They combine the percussion and at the same time dance. I think that they thought out of the normal and were very creative. Stomp is all about rythm. They think that rythm is the basis of music.
Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell started with this incredible group in 1991. They showed the world their talent in London’s Bloomsbury Theatre. As the years passed, in 1994 they went from Hong Kong to Barcelona and then from Dublin to Sydney. They started growing and growing better and as a result they won two awards. An Oliver for Best Entertainment Award and another one in a West End Show that was for Best Choreography.
Sean Wards, Brad Holland, Jason Mills, Raymond Poitier, Marivaldo Dos Santos, Elec Simon, Jeremy Tracy, Dan Weiner, Fiona Wilkes, Camille Armstrong, Yako Miyamot, and Fritzlyn Hectoo are the people who were born with rythm. Each one of these people are unique and make a difference in the group. Everyone’s personality applies to the show. They experience with any object that is in front of them until they find the right mood of the sound.
“I started by hanging a single drum on a strap around my neck, but I also started to improvise on the objects around us: bicycles, lampposts, policemen’s helmets…” said Luke Cresswell which is the director. In some of the last show that Stomp has performed they have used brooms, lids, tall bins, short bins, poles, pounds of sand, blocks of Athletes chalk, drumsticks, litters of water, bananas, and boxes of matches.
I really admire Stomp for their creativity and for their talent. Not everyone can make all that sound at the same time. They are great musicians. As I said before, that they think that rythm is the basis of music, I agree with that thought. There can’t be music without rythm.
I posted this videos because I think they are amazing.
