STOMP Dance Troupe

One of my favorite - STOMP Dance Troupe. I am attracting by their creative performance and energy. Are you guys notice when you waiting the movie starting in cinema, eating your popcorn, watching the TV Commercial Ads, one of the video appeared a group of youngster use brooms, keys, dustbin..etc to compose the rhythm of music. Yea, that group called STOMP! Let me share them with you all ^^




INTRO

Stomp is a non-traditional dance troupe (originating in Brighton, UK) that uses the body and ordinary objects to create a physical theater performance.

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

Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, STOMP is currently (in 2008) playing in New York, London's West End, and on North American and European tours. An expanded production, STOMP OUT LOUD, opened at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in 2007.

The case members of Stomp are a unique, diverse group of talented performers from around the world, but they all speak the language of rhythm.

融合了打击乐演奏、肢体舞动及视觉喜剧的STOMP(破铜烂铁),最善于颠覆传统音乐思维,以生 活中俯拾皆是的题材,作为本身源源不绝的创作题材,因此舞台上没有看到太多正式的打击乐器,取而代之的是扫帚、垃圾桶盖、棍棒、铁筒…等一般生活器具,和 一般击乐家的正式曲目完全不同,夸张的肢体语言,搭配富强烈节奏的曲调及交互精采的剧情铺陈,反而让观众耳目一新,兴味盎然。为了让观众有耳目一新的感受,STOMP特别设计了许多精采的音频演出,像撕报纸、点打火机与摇火柴盒的声音,甚至连篮球运球都能设计出一段曲目



是音乐,是舞蹈,还是游戏?

生活中最常见的日常用品,爸爸妈妈丢掉的垃圾,从扫把、水桶、打火机到旧报纸,甚至自己的身体,都变成了乐器,奏出了迷人的声响。只要你心里尚留一份童真,一定也能欣赏导演的匠心独具。STOMP为你揭示了身体 、环境、节奏与声音的互动关系,告诉你声音的秘密。
  

Some of the show description:

" 剧场的灯光暗下来之后, 一位身穿工作服的洋小伙儿拿着扫把走上来, "刷,刷刷", 舞台上传出轻轻的扫地声. 别以为是剧场请来了外国小时工, 事实上演出已经开始了, 小伙子手中的扫把就是他的乐器. 随着节奏"刷刷"的响起, 6男2女8明打击乐手陆续登场, 各拿一支扫把在舞台上整齐地敲击着地面. 他们的动作看似随意,但是节奏却整齐划一. 扫把落在地面上, 不停地变换着各种节奏. 随后, 拿着扫帚, 塑料桶, 拖把, 锅碗瓢盆等"乐器" 的 STOMP 打击乐团的各位高手纷纷登台亮相了.

进入STOMP演出场地,观众发现这里几乎如同一个“垃圾场”——废弃的汽车轮毂、变形的汽油桶、大大小小的塑料桶、已经被打瘪的锅碗瓢盆等厨房用具…… 相信很多观众一看到这些东西都会发出疑问:这些东西能打击出传说中的动听的节奏来吗?等到演出时人们才发现,挎着破塑料桶照样能打出鼓声来,废弃的汽车轮 毂竟然能充当巨大的“铙钹”,像踩高跷那样踩着汽油桶也能发出震撼人心的节奏。用“化腐朽为神奇”来总结STOMP是最恰当不过了。就像STOMP一位成 员所说,如果你细心就会发现生活中处处充满了节奏和音乐。火柴盒、打火机,这些我们生活中最不起眼的物件都被他们神奇地打出节拍来;扫地、收垃圾,也都成 为了打击乐的艺术;撕报纸、抖搂塑料袋,也能“谱”成曲子。

和其他打击乐剧不同,STOMP的演出没有剧情、没有对白、没有旋律,只有一样——乐手们通过滑稽幽默的表演在敲击舞台地面发出的节奏。除了演员们眼花缭 乱的打击表演之外,夸张的情节设置、幽默的形体表演给大家带来了无尽的乐趣。他们身着破旧的工作服,在舞台上表现着各种劳动的场面。平凡的生活场景,被几 位“劳动者”升华成为赏心悦目的艺术画面。快乐的劳动快乐的生活,是大家共同的感受。因为快乐,笑声几乎从始至终一直荡漾在剧场内。尽管没有剧情,但是两 个场景间小小的细节设置环环相扣。比如说上一个场景中撒的面粉,之后在打扫面粉时要用撮箕和扫把击打和摩擦地面;刚刚敲击水盆洒的水,之后还要用上拖把这 种“乐器”

台上台下互动使得STOMP的演出热烈火爆,跟着台上节奏的发出的击节声几乎贯穿全场。尽管火爆场面不断,但是最激动人心的还应当是在最后的互动“拍掌游 戏”。一位滑稽的黑人乐手示意在场观众和他一起拍掌,他拍一下,观众跟着拍一下;他拍两下,大家也跟着拍。简单的节拍,一般人都能对付。可是随着他领掌的 速度加快、节奏变得复杂,观众就有些跟不上趟儿了。越来越快、越来越复杂的掌声最终响成一片,欢笑声和叫好声也跟着响成一片,台上台下瞬间变成了欢乐的海 洋。

STOMP很多成员进来之前都是从事音乐的人,他们每个人都以能加入STOMP成为他们中的一员感到自豪。留着小辫子的MORRISON用一句中国人常说 的一句话总结STOMP的演出:“没有做不到的,只有想不到的。如果你有愿望的话,那么你要坚信你一定能够成功。” 他认为,这台演出无论从表演、设计到舞 美灯光等都非常棒,它是一种非常具有创造性的艺术形式。
