2007 PARTICIPANTS COMMENTS:
Melbourne Stomp was an amazing experience. Never before have I felt so uninhibited so quickly, or seen such a rapid development in my artistic techniques and ability. All who wish to become better performers should do this course!
A week filled with play, laughter, challenges and the chance to really look within yourself
This has been one of the experiences that has been pivotal in my life, body, mind and spirit. The training pushed my boundaries and gave me a solid foundation to work from.
