Popular rhythmic performance opens tomorrow at UA Centennial

Sticks and stones will break your bones, but STOMP can use them freely - to make music, that is.

The hit percussive performance STOMP comes to UA's Centennial Hall tomorrow for the second year. The touring company's claim to fame is its use of unconventional instruments - such as broomsticks, plungers, water pipes, trash cans and trash can lids - to create rhythm and movement on stage.

Ana Sofia Pomales, a 29-year-old performer in STOMP, is one of the eight performers that appears on stage at one time.

"I saw the show about a year before I got the audition, and I just fell in love with it - and here I am three years later," she said.
