STOMP
<p>Stomp is a joyful, witty, and wordless show that has been seen all over the world.

There’s no traditional narrative; both household and industrial objects find new life as musical instruments in this unique combination of percussion, movement, and visual comedy. It is a journey through sound, a celebration of the everyday, and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and drum.</p><p>www.stomponline.com</p><p>Free CyberCafé Knapp Stage Pre-Show Concert 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.</p> 2018-08-06 21:00:00 -05002/23/197:30 p.m.University of Dubuque Heritage CenterDubuque -
