Company Member 2004-current

Berianne Bramman (Vocalist, Performer & Collaborator) has been singing since the age of 1 - singing “Away in a Manger” as a solo in a Christmas pagent. Now, 29 years later, with 3 instruments, various vocal arrangements, and an all-girl punk band in her past, Berianne realizes there will never be a time when music doesn’t drive her existence. She first began adding her voice to their performances as a vision of death in Deadtech, and co-wrote the harmonies, lyrics and narration with Atalee Judy for the experimental dance opera héroïne- A Woman's Tale. Her musical background is very diverse and encompasses all genre's. Outside of the Breakbone family, her most recent performance pursuits have been backyard production of Buffy: The Musical, a variety of one acts with Heartless Bitch! and Midsummer Nights Fever: A Drag King Revival, and DJing industrial/powernoise with Kinetic (www.kineticnoise.net). Her current selections of choice are industrial, powernoise, and IDM. When not completely wrapped up in musical pursuits, Berianne can be found circling in the worlds of Anarchist politics and science fiction (sometimes simultaneously). Her latest fusions of politics and fun have been the Think Galactic science fiction book discussion group (monthly discussion from a radical left analysis), and putting together a Bowling Event to raise money for the Chicago Anarchist Defense Fund. In November 2006, Berianne performed alongside nine other talented women as ‘A Sordid Collective’ on a show called The Lola Project which premiered at The Hothouse. An irrefutable sold out success, The Lola Project was a collaborative year long process that lead to an exciting drag ballet narrating the intertwining lives of a mischievous group of characters in the 1920’s (www.asordidcollective.com). Until then, Berianne would like to thank Atalee for a continually smooth collaboration process.
