Badass Medusa #MeToo

A bold and brave retelling of Medusa’s story through collective rage, agency and a female / queer gaze written and directed by Hannah Phillips, co-created with composer Nik Haley and film maker Nicola Prestage.

Blurring the lines between live and virtual performance using spoken word, new composition, song, film, and interactive technology.

“Brave and welcoming”

— Brum Hour

"Fierce, unapologetic and proud, Badass Medusa faces her shadow...Dancing in the light, the strong, female-identifying collective, tear down boundaries, lay bare any vulnerabilities and urge women not to be silent and not to look away."

— Behind The Arras

 “Raising awareness of violence and the abuse of women and girls has never been more important, and we are really pleased for the opportunity to support this production.  Mobilise approach this work with a rare and exciting blend of fearless challenge and emotional intelligence.”

— Sue Coleman - Chief Executive, West Mercia Women’s Aid
