Kate Smith is a cast member of Verity Standen’s Undersong and a frequent collaborator on various research and development projects. Having toured Undersong in 2018, the production was due to launch an international tour in 2020.
Undersong places you at the meeting point between threads of music. Voices weave amongst you and around the space, from a whispered duet to a screaming mob.
Nine singers build a vibrant language of a cappella music and movement as they bring to life a series of brand new compositions, which move between tender and expansive.
“One of the most extraordinary pieces of performance I’ve ever seen.”
- Exeunt
‘A visceral and life-affirming experience… it was possible to catch the reactions of the audience at the very heart of this performance: faces of wonder, of fear and of hilarity.’
– Bristol 24/7
A new song by Verity Standen, recorded remotely as a lockdown experiment - with singers across the UK screaming into their phones and laptops.
