STOMP

[SandiF]

Last night I heard an announcement for a new dance musical at the fox theatre and something the announcer said caught my ear. The Irish brought us river dance... The British brought us stomp...

A true? A Britain stomp originate? Mi did always think it's the black students at college/university campuses across the United States that brought stomp to the world.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> The Stomp Dance is performed by the various Southeastern tribes and Native American communities, including the Cherokee, Creeks and Seminoles. Active Stomp Dance communities still exist in North Carolina, Oklahoma, Alabama and Florida. One such community meets at the Stokes Stomp Dance Ground which is located in an isolated area of the Cherokee Nation tribal lands. Other grounds include, Hossossv Tvlvhvse Ceremonial Ground on the Poarch Creek Indian Reservation near Atmore, Alabama, the White Oak Shawnee grounds and various other Creek and Seminole grounds in Oklahoma and Florida.


...
The term "Stomp Dance" is an English term which refers to the 'shuffle and stomp' movements of the dance. In the native Muskogee language the dance is called Opvnkv Haco, which can mean 'drunken,' 'crazy,' or 'inspirited' dance. This usually refers to the exciting, yet meditative effect the Dance and the medicine have on the participants.

ahh..

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Stomp is a renowned non-traditional dance troupe (originating in Brighton, UK) that uses the body and ordinary objects to create a percussive physical theatre performance. Their musical origins owe heavily to the work of Einstürzende Neubauten and Savage Aural Hotbed.

They developed from the London Records band The Yes/No People, who were known for Mr. Johnson and Some Things Are True on the Giant compilation. Since becoming Stomp, they have released music and starred in television commercials. HBO also produced the DVD Stomp Out Loud, which features the group members producing percussion out of normal household items, even in a junk yard.

The term may also refer to a distinct sub-genre of physical theatre where the body is incorporated with other objects as a means of producing percussion and movement that has echoes of tribal dance.
