The Best Settings for Stomp

Stomp is an energetic performance composed of dance and drumming. The dance used in Stomp mimics everyday movements and the drumming is performed on objects found in the everyday world, such as buckets, pipes and matchboxes. Urban locations are the best environment for Stomp performances, due to their street-wise, urban look and feel. The concrete and metal common in urban settings around the United States also make for performances that can make use of their environments.
  1. New York City

    • The environment of New York City captures the very essence of Stomp, with trash bins, subway stations, metal poles and grates making up the environment where music and dance are performed. The Manhattan skyline makes a vibrant, eye-catching backdrop for the music and movement of Stomp.

    San Francisco

    • Golden Gate Park and the Haight Ashbury strip of San Francisco make interesting settings for Stomp as well, as the mix of nature and urban environment give more breath and movement to the Stomp repertoire.

    Los Angeles

    • Los Angeles --- the City of Angels as it's called --- makes another great site for Stomp to do its thing, specifically on the Hollywood strip, with its mix and match of glamour and grit, metal and steel.

    Berlin

    • Berlins lofts and warehouses are excellent urban spaces for Stomp, and the funky mix of artists spaces and historic locations make for interesting backdrops and environments for particular Stomp sections titled "Bins and Poles" and the rhythmic sequences using basketballs.
