Global Hive Labs has collaborated with more than 50 artists over the course of our work on Medusa. Each new connection we make opens up the opportunity to learn from new perspectives, and to deepen our analysis of the subject. There are some folks who joined us for a week, or a few days, others who have weaved in and out of the tapestry in different cities, bringing fresh eyes to familiar shades of color.
We’re excited that London based actor Eliza Harris will be joining the new ensemble in London at The Pleasance in November. Eliza has performed with ensembles in London, Piacenza, and Chicago this year, bringing a unique perspective and set of skills to the project.

Medusa has shaped my 2019 in so many ways and I’ve been fortunate enough to collaborate in London, Italy, and Chicago. In allowing me to devise and perform with artists from so many countries and cultures, it’s allowed me to create theatre that speaks to the amazing multicultural world we live in, and leaves no one out! The work we’re doing with Medusa is so important as we seek to create a wholly accessible theatre form for all, weaving accessibility into the very tapestry of the piece. I’m so excited to share the work we’ve done with new artists and share our mission and creativity with London in November! I love being able to give Medusa a voice that hasn’t necessarily been heard before. I’m so grateful to the team at GHL, Fusion Theatre, and Chez Actors for allowing and encouraging me to create my own original songs as my own way of giving these mythological characters a new voice and I can’t wait to share some of them with you when we open on Monday 11th November!
Please consider donating to our fundraiser for production costs and artist stipends for Fusion Theatre Company’s production of Medusa. Every little bit counts. We can’t do it without you.
