Body Body Commodity is a new experimental contemporary dance work currently in development created by lutruwita/Tas & Meanjin/Brisbane-based multidisciplinary performance artist, Jenni Large.

Body Body Commodity is concerned with commodification of the female body in relation to consumerism and capitalism. Equally visceral and visual, four female performers animate a mass of foam objects, exploring and subverting the dynamic between object, subject and viewer. The work is a commentary on our capitalist society and consumerist behaviour, where the value of material things is inextricably linked to the value we place upon womens bodies. This cultural conditioning is ready for subversion, re-imagining and revolutionising.

In a social climate that is losing touch with the natural world, to centralise the female body and our relationship to it - the basis for all our relationships - is timely and necessary.
