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 Chicago based actor Jenn Geiger will be joining the new ensemble in London at The Pleasance in November.

“I had the joy of helping devise Medusa in Chicago during the workshop this summer and felt more inspired, empowered, and challenged as a performer than I have for a long time. That says a lot about the group of people involved in this project and also about what a delight it is to work with such rich text and history of this infamous myth. We had an international ensemble from Italy and the UK join us in Chicago, and I’m super excited to return the favor in the London ensemble, working with some of the same artists and many I’ve yet to meet. It’s such a unique and powerful thing to have so many different kinds of people creating together, and I can’t wait to welcome people into this story as it continues to evolve.” - Jenn Geiger
Jenn not only performed as an actor and musician, but also created the original artwork that the audience used to participate in the performance. Jenn’s original watercolors distilled the audience roles of Gods, Gorgons, and Mortals into personal talismans - reminders of their destiny.
