2023 -> The Future of this creation:  I have feedback from earlier processes, as well as drafts and ideas for new scenes. Though it has taken years, this creation is still in the back of  my mind. I  I will keep my eyes open for help to finish this work though a co-productions in the comming years.

Everyone has a relationship with “Å stå på” (to make an effort):

  • “Jeg skal stå på litt til”
  • Vi må stå på nå
  • Å ha stå-på-vilje
  • Jeg er så lei av å stå på..
  • Dette får du til, stå på!

Without goals in life humans can lose direction and become quite passive, but too many goals, options and distractions can be confusing. Accomplishing our goals can be amazing and needed to give fulfillment and purpose, but if you only look forward, it is a question if you lose something on the way to. See the creation: Hverdagsgleder

Stå på is a creation about the thematic goals, motivation and accomplishment.  Something that we all are dealing with on a bigger or smaller scale in our (everyday) life, but how to navigate ? This piece is for the bigger questions.

THE PIECE:

Is imaged for 3 performers who navigate in this landscape in a competition with themselves and each other. Here you get to see their different personalities and how they deal with the tasks and situations given towards their goals.

BACKGROUND AND EARLIER WORK:

This is my first creation after graduation, I did pre-project in 2016 and 2017 before leaving the creation due to personal happenings, pandemic and other focuses and creations. I would love to dig deeper into this work again, and finish the creation into a full evening performance. Here is some pictures and a video from the earlier processes: 

   2020-2021: New Applications.

Life happens, and because of personal tragedy I got other focus. I let go of this piece and research, and my creative path took other directions.

Then I started writing applications in 2020 and 2021 to finish this work into a whole evening piece. I guess timing wasn’t right during the pandemic to ask for such from an emerging artist who at that time hadnt created a full evening production yet. They are expensive to create and you need clear performance plans. After some application rounds, I left the process again in favour for other smaller research and creations. Because easier to get founding to.
