Get to know The BringAbout show & artists below!
We are The BringAbout, a company of creative artists who collaborate with writers and composers early in the writing process of new musicals and plays. Why? To introduce movement, dance, and sound design as a cohesive narrative tool. Collaborating with The BringAbout is typically the very first time a writer experiences their work in 3D. Writers, creatives and performing artists get to be bold, vulnerable, and curious as we sing, speak, and dance the new works. Everything is live and fluid. It’s our craft of collaboration.
As part of Little Island’s Storytelling Festival, The BringAbout IN CONCERT presents excerpts from six stories in development with The BringAbout.
1 - PREFACE

There was a time in your life
Maybe it was just a short time
Maybe you don’t even remember it. But it existed.
A time when all the things that
have happened to you, had yet to happen.

Over half a block of gardens and across
a small street, there is this bright
window that I’d never noticed before.
At the exact eye level of my apartment.
I realized I’d never seen it because
there had always been curtains.
Invisible for years, and all of a sudden,
there’s this bright light, and no curtains.
4 - TAINTED WILD
conceived by Jennifer Jancuska & Enrico de Trizio in collaboration with Michelle Veintimilla. Inspired by luminary, Jonathan Demme and his brilliant use of music in film making. TAINTED LOVE is re-arranged with jazzy inflections and set in the diner scene of Demme’s classic film, SOMETHING WILD.

You know, Charlie, she's not gonna be too happy
driving around in a station wagon the rest of her life.
You better think about that. You better
ask yourself if you really want her.
5 - TRUE NORTH
conceived by Jocelyn Mackenzie, Jennifer Jancuska and Enrico de Trizio
Looking to the stars as the original storytellers, we hear the myth of Andromeda. And for the first time, experience it from her perspective.

The truth is…
Yes, Andromeda was a Princess. A star.
But Andromeda was a person.
A person with choice.
A person whose choice was taken from her.

I go out walking and get lost for hours
Something I never used to do
I wander off into these quiet places
Streets I never knew.
