‘Medusa is a Modern Woman’ is a new work in progress by Seedpod Ballarat artist Izzy Roberts-Orr, where Medusa is reimagined as a contemporary figure—and she’s inviting your help with the task.

Through her Seedpod residency, Izzy seeks to reclaim Medusa’s voice and explore how myth and memory shape survival through gathering, looping and rearranging of poetic patterns.

Using fragments of poetic texts, audience members are invited to a ‘re-assembling’ where a unique contemporary and collective reimagining of Medusa will be created at each presentation.

Join us for Izzy’s work in progress presentations of Medusa Is A Modern Woman.

Medusa Is A Modern Woman is created and produced through Punctum’s regionally based Seedpod residency program with the generous support of Creative City Ballarat and Ballarat Performing Arts Community.

Medusa Is A Modern Woman’s creation and presentation is taking place on the lands of the Djaara and Wadawurrung people. We pay our deep respects to Elders past and present and their living culture.
