Writing as the Body

Dear everyone, During the six months that have gone by since our joint immersion into the sensuous and poetic, I have worked on a text about The Mongrels participation as visiting researcher. I felt that our experiences, experiments and interactions with staff and students was so significant that it deserved to be written down. The original idea was a short article, albeit with philosophical and lyrical tendencies. That’s not what…

Timespacematter

Time has passed. Time passes. So does space. So does the material. Phenomena move in and out of spacetimematter. Or spacetimematter move in and out of phenomena. What is a set design in one spacetimematter is lesson plan in another. What is an initial ritual in one spacetimematter is ”Quiet please!” in another. A cap is also a power structure. A red carpet simultaneously cozy and threatening. White is innocent and death. Black…

A no egg clue…

Searching for something. A door, a clue. Feeling I am not challenging myself enough, not doing anything grand enough. Constantly waiting for “cracking it”.   That stepping down from the „leader/inspirator/teacher“ role and letting myself experience what naturally unfolds in interactions with students without carrying the „giver“ mission – this I was not able to do most oft he time. But it was a pre-step to „getting it“ later, after…

The image of the hanged man

Performance in non-traditional spaces often brings practitioners and spectators rather brutally into contact with issues of authority and power(…) The municipal authorities in the 20th century are no more benign than their counterparts in earlier times, and many examples could be given of avant-garde performance groups being closed down, not through overt censorship, but through application of building regulations or safety codes. What was produced was not a body of…

To see or not to see

  I take away my visual sight to explore awareness, to see new things that I didn’t know was there. Here. I blindfold myself to expand my experience of space. I blindfold myself to expand my experience of time. In the darkness I meet sounds and textures, vibrations and formations: Actions and reactions, interactions and moments of silence. Colours, temperature, volume and cracks. In the darkness I meet you. Through…

About fear

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” (Marie Curie) “Many of our fears are tissue paper thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them.” (Brendan Francis)

Ready?

To all of you who doesn’t feel ready for tomorrow, fully loaded with energy or an open mind. Neither do I. I wish I could say I did. I want to get the most out of this experience. Maybe it’s just todays tierdness I’m feeling. Hopefully the wonderful persons I will meet tomorrow will fill me up with energy. Who knows what to expect? It’s okay to feel nervous. I…

Lines of thought from The Well

What do you do what do you do when everything that makes you is dismembering what do you do what do you do when what you remember is lost what do you do then what do you do what do you do when you feel alone what do you do then what do you do what do you do to try and get out what do you do what do…

A Medicine Woman journeys

Having medicine because of you. Too Long have we been apart. The shrine is ready. Let us heal the gap – come closer – Let us trust. Will Love ever be easy ? Let us just – flow in this state. When time is breathing – Space Voids – Charge – fueling electricity, sparkling chaotic notes – trance into alignment… In all this volume we cross bridges build of mist…

The tree

I am a tree. I feel roots sprawling out of my hands, feet and head going deep down to the earth. In the shape of energi. Warm, kind and calm. I’m grounded. Heavy and safe. Thick from the long life I’ve lived. A life full of bad storms. If you ask me i might tell you more or not. There’s a fire burning inside me. I’ts always been there burning…
