New Original Hip-Hop/R&B Musical BUMP IT to Begin Workshops in Orlando

During the year of 2015, a new original Hip-Hop/R&B musical entitled 'Bump It' was in the process of gearing up for its pre-workshop with local hip hop dancers. Two years later, the production moves forward with a new workshop in the works for the Central Florida area through the Magna Verum Production Company. Writer, Christopher D. Robinson has brought on a new additional team of composers and lyricists with their own individual unique skills coming from New York and Orlando for adding the final touches to the material. The show is inspired by true stories from Robinson's past experiences and from some of his fellow dance friends/acquaintances. The main story that really inspired the show as a whole deal with an interesting controversy that took place at a popular public park right down the street from where Robinson currently lived.

"A friend and I would hang around that park most Friday evenings and would pass by these extremely talented dancers that would always draw a mini crowd enjoying their performance. I eventually got to know some of these dancers and kept in contact with them as I too have been hip hop dancing for quite some time and wanted to eventually get involved with some of these performers. Unfortunately, the Friday night dance hype was no more due to the group of dancers being banned from dancing in the park. This is what really struck inspiration for writing 'Bump It'. The fact of that a group of very talented and passionate dancers who are professionals at what they do could no longer freely express their skills in a public area causing no issues, rather showing off something positive for others to see and being banned from doing just that was absolutely mindblowing."

The full production team is expected to be publicly announced during the month of September 2017.

If you think you have what it takes to be a part of a brand new original high energy production like this one, Magna Verum will be announcing their official casting call for the 2018 workshop (vocalists and rappers) soon. There will be future casting calls for a full Regional Premiere later down the road (actors, vocalists, rappers, and dancers). So, if you can't make it out for the workshop, there's definitely another opportunity to prepare for!
