Bedales Prep Pupils learn from Award-Winning Stomp Artists

PETERSFIELD, U.K. - Nov. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Pupils from Bedales Prep, Dunhurst, enjoyed participating in a recent dance workshop led by members of the award-winning West-end production ‘Stomp’.

Stomp’s multi-award winning show consists of rhythm, theatre, comedy and dance using a variety of materials such as plastic bags, bin lids and even the kitchen sink to hammer out an explosively feel good rhythm. They took centre stage at the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony and perform regularly in London, New York and internationally.

Nass and Dave from Stomp’s crew spent time with Dunhurst’s pupils showing them how to move their bodies and utilise household items to produce complex rhythms. Commenting on the workshop, Jane Grubb, Head of Bedales Prep, said: “The whole school seemed to reverberate with the rhythm and the sound of the toe-tapping beat during the workshop. Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the chance to express themselves in a way they hadn’t explored before in dance and theatre. These skills will all help to build their repertoire as we look towards next year’s Youth Dance Platform.”
