From the streets of New York to the breathtaking backdrop of Africa, this film embarks on a global trek with the creators of the internationally acclaimed show, STOMP, as your guide.

STOMP! was created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, two street performers hailing from Brighton, England. They turned their dynamic act on the street to a world-renowned theatrical experience that incorporates music, rhythm, dance and percussion into a one-of-a-kind show. After molding STOMP! into an enormous hit, Cresswell and McNicholas set out to illustrate the diverse cultures and multitude of emotions behind the music, the rhythmic ties that bind us all together. And from that exploration, Pulse: A STOMP Odyssey was born.

The picturesque landscapes and vibrant scenes will unfold on The Henry Ford IMAX Theatre screen, which is six stories tall and eight stories wide. Moviegoers will not just hear the beating of the drums, they will feel them. They will not just watch the dances, they will be tapping their toes to the music. With a six channel audio system pumping out 12,000 watts of digital sound, the audience will immerse themselves in the film and become a part of the celebration.

The Henry Ford IMAX Theatre is located at 20900 Oakwood Boulevard in Dearborn. For information, please call (313) 271-1570.
