VERITY STANDEN PROJECTS
Undersong
Undersong places you at the heart of a musical experience. Singers weave amongst you and around the space, filling the air with song.
You are invited to simply listen, as the performers shape the music around you. Different for every seat. Different every night. The songs range from playful whispers to rich harmony.
Verity Standen is renowned for her unique approach to vocal music. Her work draws inspiration from Eastern European folk songs, contemporary classical works, and pop anthems. She uses intricate vocal techniques and rich harmony, and allows each audience member to interpret mood and narrative for themselves.
Verity’s previous work includes HUG and Mmm Hmmm.
“A visceral and life-affirming experience”
“Feels like the most immediate, visceral experience of music as human expression possible… like an antenna to heaven. ”
Commissioned by MAYK and Bristol Old Vic/Ferment. Supported using public funds by Arts Council England. The show’s development was supported by Complicite, Shoreditch Town Hall and The Point, Eastleigh.
