‘In the fields and along the paths, here and there, he saw the shapes of men and animals changed from their natures to hard stone by Medusa’s gaze.’ – Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’

How can we use myths as a starting point for change? How has the folkloric been a lens to view and understand the world? Where do we meet Medusa today, in 2024?

In this festival, Stage 1 BA: Performance Design and Practice students each present a mini performance response to the theme of myth in their first public-facing performance.
