DUSTBIN lids, brooms and matchboxes will fill the Bournemouth Pavilion stage with addictive and electrifying beats during Stomp, the multi-award winning show.

Celebrating 22 years in explosive and inventive entertainment, the production will be stomping its way to Bournemouth from this Tuesday, August 6 to Saturday. Combining percussion, dance, theatre and comedy with no dialogue or plot, Stomp remains one of the most original shows in the world.

The British theatrical sensation makes music from the mundane objects, transforming the clutter of urban life into the source of infectious rhythm and wonder.

Original cast member, Fraser Morrison, will be taking part in the Bournemouth show and said: “Audiences can expect a really fun time with a mixture of percussion, comedy, dance and physical performance in this live theatre show. “

After touring the show in 50 countries, we are finally bringing Stomp to sunny Bournemouth.

“We want people to come on the first night and then come back several days later to see a completely different show.”

Eight performers use a variety of everyday objects, from water bottles, lighters, plastic bags and even the kitchen sink to hammer out a feel-good rhythm.

Now acting as rehearsal director, Fraser said: “We always say the audience is the ninth member of the company and it is completely up to them how they interpret the show as everyone takes away something different.”

Fraser started playing the drums at the age of 14 and has been with the show since its premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1991.

“The show has changed massively over the last 20 odd years because back them we were still finding the bare bones of the show which originates from busking on the streets.

“Using rhythm as a narrative is the basis of the show, but there has to be a visual element to all the props we use as well.”

Stomp has become a global phenomenon, with the show being performed in venues as diverse as the slums of Kenya to the Oscars ceremony in LA.

The producers often hold open-call auditions where they look for character and someone who can bring a little bit of themselves to the show.

“Some drummers actually feel intimated because they are used to hiding at the back. We are encouraging people to use the ultimate instrument, their own body.

“I am often asked if I can make music out of anything and the answer is yes. The hardest challenge I’ve ever been given is an orange.”
