Stomp (tournée)

STOMP arrives at Radiant-Bellevue

Radiant-Bellevue is thrilled to welcome STOMP, the international phenomenon that turns everyday objects into an orchestra of irresistible rhythm, movement, and humor. From the moment the first broom strikes, our stage becomes a living engine of sound—metal, wood, rubber, and skin combining in a kinetic dialogue that resonates beautifully within our hall’s warm acoustics. In our venue, the show’s intricately layered dynamics—whispers of matchboxes, the hiss of sand, the thunder of drums built from bins—are articulated with clarity from every seat. The production’s sculpted lighting and razor-sharp choreography play perfectly against our stage depths and sightlines, allowing audiences to read both the fine detail of body percussion and the sweeping, ensemble-wide canons that explode across the space. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a returning rhythm devotee, you will feel the palpable energy circulate through the auditorium as performers communicate without words, building a communal pulse that turns Radiant-Bellevue into a resonant chamber for collective heartbeat and joyous noise.

Current artistic momentum and the tournée

Following landmark runs in New York and London, STOMP has refocused its touring identity with a refreshed company and retooled pacing, continuing its tournée across major European and international stages. The ensemble’s current momentum lies in a deepened musicality: familiar set-pieces are sharpened, transitions flow with cinematic precision, and the interplay between comedy and choreography feels newly alive. Founders and directors Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas have long treated the show as a living score, and this season’s company brings fresh textures—new timbres from reimagined props, expanded body-percussion language, and an even tighter sense of ensemble breathing. Outside the stage, the group’s presence remains vibrant via studio workshops and behind-the-scenes digital clips that spotlight the craft of timing, listening, and shared groove. This blend of tradition and renewal is precisely what makes STOMP a perfect fit for Radiant-Bellevue: our audience will meet a production that honors its iconic signatures while embracing the creative elasticity that keeps it urgent, contemporary, and undeniably theatrical.

For this stop at Radiant-Bellevue, we have shaped the room to frame the show’s athletic musicality and the spontaneity that sparks from audience-performer exchange. Expect a performance that speaks across languages and ages—there is no dialogue, only rhythm, gesture, and finely tuned visual storytelling—making it ideal for families, students of dance and music, and anyone curious about the stage as a laboratory of sound. Those who love the tactile thrill of live performance will appreciate how our acoustics carry the subtlest clicks and scrapes as clearly as the full-ensemble crescendos, while our sightlines ensure that micro-rhythms in hands and feet read with crisp definition. We recommend early arrival to settle in, let your ears adjust to the show’s dynamic range, and discover how silence becomes part of the score. On the date announced on our calendar, STOMP brings the drive of its tournée to our stage; we provide the space, atmosphere, and attention to detail that let every strike, stomp, and shimmering resonance land exactly where it should—right in the body of the audience.
