STOMP Will Return To The Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center This Month

The Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center will present the return of the internationally acclaimed percussion sensation, STOMP, as it celebrates 30 years in North America. This electrifying show will take place on Saturday, November 23, 2024, at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., and on Sunday, November 24, 2024, at 3 p.m.

A unique blend of percussion, movement, and visual comedy, STOMP is an international sensation, performing in more than 50 countries and in front of more than 26 million people. STOMP breaks traditional performance boundaries, using common objects to craft an immersive and interactive spectacle that has delighted audiences globally. The eight-member troupe utilizes everyday objects like matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, and lighters – and with its provocative and sophisticated rhythms, STOMP continues to receive rave reviews.

Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas in 1994, STOMP continues to tour North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia, and lengthy sit-down productions in San Francisco, Boston, and Las Vegas. The group has gone on to bring their beats on both national and international tours.

In addition to the stage shows, STOMP has been an overwhelming success marked by rave reviews, numerous awards, an Academy Award nomination, four Emmy nominations, and one Emmy Award for their acclaimed HBO special Stomp Out Loud, noteworthy TV appearances, including the London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony, the Academy Awards (produced by Quincy Jones), Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and a series of award-winning international commercials.

The return of the percussive hit brings some new surprises, such as updated sections and two new full-scale routines that incorporate props like paint cans, adding a fresh and exciting element to the performance.
