Stomp specifically refers to a renowned non-traditional dance troupe that uses the body and a set of physical objects to create a percussive physical theatre performance. However, the term can be taken to 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 tribaldance. Physical theatre is a genre of performance which makes use of the body (as opposed to the spoken word) as the primary means of performance and communication with an audience. ... Tribal, as a noun, refers to a type of design or image that has been influenced by tribes of indigenous peoples. ... Dance (from Old French dance, further history unknown) generally refers to human movement either used as a form of expression (see also body language) or presented in a social, spiritual or performance setting. ...
STOMP is performed in theaters, but it is not a play, musical, or opera.
STOMP, however, cannot be described purely as a "dance," for dance is only one of the three elements which are combined to create the show - music, theater and dance.
STOMP makes no such claim; it is the exploration of rhythm in everyday things.
