went to see stomp with ani and her son michael last night. i guess one of the cast has a big crush on her (who doesn't? :):) and gave her comp tickets! nice....
it was a really great show and a perfect way for me to celebrate my last day of work.
they really did an amazing job putting the show together. and the sounds...wow...some so familiar...
The beating of 2 simple sticks together....like I heard every night at about 11 o'clock in tokyo. every night a guy would walk around the neighbourhood doing this as a reminder to put your fires out. it was a relaxing and rhythmic sound that i had totally forgotten about. don't think I've heard that since....what a nice memory.
Much of the stomping...I assume...inspired by tap. also reminded me a bit of when chester whitmore came up and nearly killed everyone in his tap workshops. i couldn’t walk for a week! during the dance afterwards chester broke into impromptu tapping and drumming using everything in sight..the floor, walls..whatever he could fine to tap out a rhythm...it was awesome!
afterwards we went by the irish heather and had some food since i hadn’t had time for dinner. it was a nice night all around.
thankx ani...
:)
