Rhythms of 'STOMP' to fill Lied Center

The percussion sensation, "STOMP," returns for three performances at the Lied Center for Performing Arts, Jan. 30-31. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Jan. 30, and 2 and 7:30 p.m. Jan. 31.

With origins as a United Kingdom street performance, "STOMP" features performers using anything but conventional instruments to create rhythm. Stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra; Zippo lighters flip open and closed in a fiery fugue; wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. The compelling rhythms build into trash cans, tea chests, plastic bags, plungers, boots and hubcaps.

"STOMP" is directed and created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas.

Pre-performance talks will be offered by Matt Landis, Tony Falcone and Angelia Onuoha in the Lied Center's Steinhart Room 30 minutes prior to each performance. Seating is limited.

Tickets are $45, $40 and $35. Students with a valid NCard and youth 18 and younger may purchase tickets for half price. For additional information, go online to www.liedcenter.org or call 472-4747. Additional information on "STOMP" is available online at www.stomponline.com.
