Body Corp is a choreographic collage that blurs the boundaries of bodies - creating mythic figures, complex with our connection to nature and technology. Patch-worked, multi-form choreographies evoke the unreal, travel in time, transfigure self and reality. Dancers merge with machines to become hybrid creatures and monstrous assemblages: augmented, impossible, expansive and porous. 

An assembled choreography infused with magic realism, this innovative dance work muddies the divide between the human and non-human ‑ asking what inhibits our ability to connect with, empathise with and learn from the non-human world.

“Ridiculously good”

Living in these times, and bearing witness to the work and evolution of artists such as Aiken, is truly a delight and honour. 

Body Corp – fiercely independent and wholly realised – is a show that must be seen to be believed”
