UNDERBELLY

Intermedia Arts presents
UNDERBELLY
Experimental, Multidisciplinary Works Featuring Emerging Ideas and Artists

Intermedia Arts multidisciplinary, artist-centered performance series UNDERBELLY returns this Fall with a new movement piece by Magnolia YSY, a multidisciplinary investigation of depression by Queen Drea, and a theatrical experience exploring identity and freedom by brianne a. hill.

Curated by Shá Cage, UNDERBELLY is a nurturing ground for developing ideas, innovative and artistic collaboration. A bi-annual event, this Fall's electric curation explores isolation, visibility, voice, depression, loneliness, identity, and freedom.

Join us after the Friday show for a reception with the artists. Saturday, stick around after the show for a talkback to gain insight on these three powerful pieces.

Choreographed by Magnolia YSY
With Rachel Miller, and Laura Osterhaus
2C, an exploration of and influenced by house dance, seeks visibility and voice for women in the many spaces they occupy, labor in, and belong to.

Queen Drea's Soul Chamber - Solitary Confinement
By Queen Drea
Live on stage, Queen Drea creates a musical score for her short, multi-genre film about black womens experiences with depression. Using song, spoken word and the personal stories of a mother and daughter, this piece aims to uncover why loneliness "is a hell of a drug" and finally kick the habit.

Skin and Masks
By brianne a. hill
A nonlinear theatrical experience following the journey of a woman who has been kidnapped for an experiment and now finds herself trapped in a box. Will she ever be free? Skin and Masks explores issues of identity and freedom.

"The artists in this series are pushing boundaries in search of innovation and experimentation, says UNDERBELLLY curator Shá Cage. It will be exciting to see the risks they take on stage."
