Jenni Large

WORLD PREMIERE // FARAWAY BY JENNI LARGE Jenni large creates a nostalgic delusion about our need for escapism, story and solace. Fairytales mutate as audiences are swallowed into a billowing terrain. Creatures slither forth, tempting us as they delight in the inky darkness of our dreams and nightmares. Equal parts grim and glam, Faraway is a fantastical journey of the familiar – a journey to a far-off place that’s closer than you think. 25 February - 1 March at The Odeon. Premiering as part of the 2026 Adelaide Festival. Learn more via link in bio. // music by @anna_whitaker . Video shot by @ovadiaproductions + edited by @anocera02 . Florals by @studiobotanic

LIP Pieces, Nov 2025 @lucyguerininc x @umac.melbourne Sharing work doesn’t get any less vulnerable, feeling very proud of all the ways we persisted, stretched, gambled and trusted to create this feisty little work. Anna and I have made 10 works together in the last 5 years (!!!) I cannot explain the depth and importance of this friendship and collaboration. Thank you for helping me to be braver and truer. It is a complete privilege to be LOCKED IN with you 💍🩸 ~ Driven by the lure of vengeance, two performers whip, clack and screech in a tangle of sound, body and costume.  Open wide, slip the leash, strip down. The body is a weapon, and revenge is a complicated game.  ~ Choreographer, Director and Performer: Jenni Large Sound Designer and Collaborating Performer: @anna_whitaker Lighting Design: @rachelleerqxx Costume Design: @jarreddewey Development support for LIP: @ausdancetheatre ADT Raw Program and @dancenorthaustralia A.R.T.

Tonight is your last chance to see Faraway by Jenni Large. A small allocation of tickets are available on the door. First in, best dressed (and the team from Faraway take dressing well very seriously). This evening’s performance also marks Karra Nam and Patrick O’Luanaigh’s final performance as Company Artists with ADT. Karra and Pat have been integral to the development of so many works at the company. We’re thrilled to have played a small part in their careers so far. Karra’s smouldering charisma is matched only by her deep knowledge of dense and well of feeling. Her spectacular bob (!), remarkable style, and cunning eye have imbued our work with an undeniable sparkle. She is a performer who looks out from the stage and into the soul of the audience. Patrick is an artist of unique sensitivity and technical ability. A true multi-hyphenate writer, performer, choreographer and stunt-man (really), Pat is a daredevil in the truest sense of the word. He’s fearless every time he steps onstage and delivers performances that strike like lightning. They are both artists to the core. And we can’t wait to see what they’ll do next. Catch them tonight, if you can.

Skipping anyone? 🧚 Faraway is challenging, pulsing, ferocious and also features a lot of rope. Must close Sunday 1 March. Tickets available via link in bio and on the door. See you there. — Photos by @jvdkphoto
