Medusa’s Chicago Ensemble
Terri Lynn Hudson, Melody DeRogatis, Jenn Geiger, Mari DeOleo, River Coello, and Electra Tremulis. With Carolina Migli-Bateson, Alice Robbi, Elisa Ferrari, and Eliza Harris
Medusa is a multidisciplinary performance devised by an international ensemble of artists over one year, in four countries. Medusa celebrates the intersectional feminist revitalization of western mythology, the integration of accessibility design into the generative process, and the way social location affects participation in and interpretation of artistic experiences.
Global Hive Laboratories is excited to learn and innovate ways we share artistic experiences with one another across borders, languages, abilities, and literacies. Medusa stands in the place of each of these creators, looking out at a world not always prepared to include them, accommodate them, or celebrate them. Medusa dares you to meet us eye-to-eye, to encounter something monstrous, and to live to tell the tale.

Global Hive Laboratories integrates access design into the devising process from Day One. This includes thinking intentionally about how what we share can be experienced by different kinds people, and how to develop Accessible content that is present in every performance of a piece, rather than specifically assigned dates for those who would seek out those services.
