Our contest is now closed. Congratulations to
Kirk T of Vancouver.
Kirk won two tickets to the April 20th
presentation of STOMP at The Centre for Performing Arts.
STOMP,
the international percussion sensation, makes its triumphant return to Vancouver
as it high steps into the Centre for Performing Arts, April 17 - 22, 2007.
The eight member troupe “make a
rhythm out of anything we can get our hands on that makes a sound,” says
co-creator/director Luke Cresswell. Stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping
orchestra; Zippo lighters flip open and closed to create a fiery fugue; wooden
poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. STOMP uses everything but
conventional percussion instruments – trashcans, tea chests, plastic bags,
plungers, boots, and hubcaps – to fill the stage with compelling and infectious
rhythms. STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, and appeals to all
ages.
After playing
to sell-out crowds for more than eleven seasons,
STOMP continues its phenomenal runs with one North
American touring company, two productions overseas - a permanent London company
and a European tour - and the New York company’s continuous sell-out run at The
Orpheum Theatre, which celebrated its 12th anniversary in February. From its
beginnings as a street performance in the UK, STOMP has grown into an
international phenomenon over the past eleven years, having performed in more
than 350 cities in 36 countries worldwide.
STOMP, an overwhelming success marked by rave reviews,
numerous awards, and sell-out engagements, is the winner of an Olivier Award for
Best Choreography (London's Tony Award), a New York Obie Award, a Drama Desk
Award for Unique Theatre Experience, and a Special Citation from Best Plays.
