Equal parts archaeological dig, contemporary dance and flash mob, Adam and the dancers have mined the Stompin dance archive to create a 5-7 minute dance. This mash up of our favourite Stompin moves from our 18-year history is flexible in design and morphs in response to various performance contexts. This Dance Is Who We Are features choreography from past Stompin works from Jerril Rechter, Luke George, Bec Reid, Stephanie Lake, Antony Hamilton and Adam Wheeler. This is a ready-made, rapid response Stompin signature event for us to perform at local events, launches, festivals, street fairs, school celebrations, award ceremonies and block parties etc. This Dance Is Who We Are is very us, very now and very much about the collaborative process.

A living exhibition of 100 solos ripped from the internet performed live & all-at-once by young Tasmanians.

Stompin presents WeTubeLIVE, a diverse group of young Tasmanians in a large-scale performed response to the social networking site YouTube.

Each performer has selected and learned their favorite YouTube clip and we’ll present them all together and all at the same time, filling Launceston’s beautiful Albert Hall with dancing, talking and singing young people.

This is not your regular sit-down performance, Stompin invites you to wander through our giant living exhibition; come and go as many times as you like and see what we’re up to, what we’re into and who we are.
