Stadium is a live music performance for solo drums and showgirl dancers. The concept of the piece is to present a quasi-orgiastic celebration of rhythm staged theatrically within the mock pyrotechnica of 'the rock gig'. An almost cartoon-like staging unfolds, with Philip Brophy bare-chested and adorned with long flowing black metal-dude hair, flayling away at the drums, flanked by two exuberant explosive dancers. No words. No guitars. No other visible instruments. Just a set of skins sandwiched by skin.

One advance piece from the suite of tracks from Stadium was premiered at UNITED ARTISTS at the Palais Theatre, Melbourne, February 2008. Other pieces of the suite are currently in development. Credits for the Palais Theatre presentation:
