Black Excellence: Daysha Williams
STOMPing Back to Worcester
Daysha Williams ’17 keeps the beat onstage on national tour
Daysha Williams ’17 arrived in Worcester in February with a Nor’easter in the forecast and a table at Da-Lat awaiting her. It was like coming home.
Williams was back in the city with the touring company of STOMP, an inventive and explosive stage show in which the performers bang everyday items—from trash can covers to broomsticks to grocery carts—to create a percussive theatrical experience of music and movement.
“I drum on everything but a drum,” she says. “By the end of the show, you’re dripping with sweat. You leave everything on the stage.”
