  • Worldwide Phenomenon Stomp Returns to Houston for High-Voltage Performances
    Press Release MEDIA CONTACT: Jaelyn Lyles 713.632.8105 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON STOMP RETURNS TO HOUSTON FOR HIGH-VOLTAGE PERFORMANCES Tour Celebrates 25 years of STOMP in New York City Download Approved Photos Here HOUSTON (December 11, 2019) – International percussion sensation STOMP returns to Houston presented by Society for the Performing Arts (SPA) for four performances on Thursday, January 23 through Friday, January 25 at Jones Hall for the Performing Arts. Using everything but conventional percussion instruments, performers fill the stage with a compelling and unique act that is often imitated but never duplicated. It is safe to say you will never again look at supermarket carts or plumbing fixtures the same way. This unique musical experience of choreographed percussion, movement, and physical comedy has been inspiring world audiences for almost three decades—proving that, with a little creativity, rhythm and music can be born out of almost anything. STOMP is perfect for audi- ences of all ages and backgrounds. There are no spoken parts during the performance, just pulse pounding action that crosses any language barrier. In addition to the performances, pa- trons are invited to stay in their seats after the show for a Westwood Trust Creative Chat with STOMP company members as they discuss their experience and answer questions. With overwhelming success marked by rave reviews, numerous awards, and sell-out engage- ments, STOMP is the winner of an Olivier Award for Best Choreography (London's Tony Award), a New York Obie Award, a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience, and a Special Citation from Best Plays.

  • “ Cirque in Transition”
    AArrttiissaannss ddee LL’’IImmaaggiinnaaiirree 30 ans du Cirque du Soleil ““ CCiirrqquuee iinn TTrraannssiittiioonn”” PART FOUR: 1999 - 2004 155 ““ CCiirrqquuee iinn TTrraannssiittiioonn”” PART FOUR: 1999 - 2004 Can Cirque du Soleil go on without Dragone? "There's no reason why the circus can't change with the times." – Guy Caron At the end of 1998, the creative team behind so many of Cirque du Soleil's productions in the 1990s - Franco Dragone, Michel Crete and Dominique Lemieux - concluded their remarkable run of artistic and professional development with the company, leaving the creative reins to future shows in the hands of others and giving Cirque du Soleil an interesting dilemma to overcome during the first-half of the new millennium: how to move on from a very successful run of productions under the helm of Franco Dragone and his team of conceptors and show the world it could still re-invent the circus. Faced with the challenge of mounting a new show, with a new team, in a compressed period of time, Guy Laliberté turned to an old friend: Guy Caron. Since he had left Cirque in 1988, Caron had maintained friendly relations with Laliberté. In 1992, he had even directed a show called “Cirque Knie Presents Cirque du Soleil” for the Swiss National Circus, produced in collaboration with Cirque. Caron's job wasn't easy, though. He'd have to pick up the creative pieces and attempt to meet or exceed the expectations laid down by the likes of Quidam, “O” and La Nouba. Despite the challenges - or perhaps because of them - Laliberté and Caron were able to show that it was the creative juices of the whole rather than just one man that drove the company, and it was during this period of transition that Cirque du Soleil began to branch out beyond theatrical productions; Cirque would dive into the realm of motion pictures and television full-force with Journey of Man (IMAX film), Fire Within (reality series) and Solstrom (variety series).
