AS this is my final project about my final project at the University of the Arts in Iceland, it serves as a reflection on my own artistic process. AS I am completing my MA in Performing Arts, this moment signifies an ending, yet I feel I am still in the midst of processing it.
AS I set out to create a documentary play rooted in personal experience, aiming to bring realism to the stage. AS I allowed myself throughout the process to repeatedly ask: what am I truly confronting? AS I came to realize that, in the beginning, I was not being honest with myself. AS I tended to lean toward abstraction, to fix things, to escape into dreams rather than meet myself with clarity. AS I was not truthful to my own state of being.
AS a way to hold myself accountable, ÖR ultimately became a kind of encounter, with a meeting within a Program of Honesty. AS if ÖR blends inner and outer realities, flowing in a hybrid form of lived and performed experience.
AS are my initials, it echos in my writings. AS an ongoing loop.

NOISE
A SONIC CHOREOGRAPHY WITH LIVE COMPOSING
Series of performance pieces. Each one is the result of a site-specific creation and research laboratory. The creation laboratories are focused on a specific city or location and on its inhabitants.
The first version of NOISE was created and executed in the city of Kitakyushu, Fukuoka prefecture, Japan.
VOL.1 NOISE - KITAKYUSHU
NOISE is an approach and a perception of a city, neighbourhood, town or area through the sounds that the space itself and its inhabitants generate.
From this sound material, movement and body perceptions are generated. They will later be developed to create the choreographic piece.
The composition in real time is organised through the language of Soundpainting. The entire soundpainting encoding is used to extract, analyse, dissect and sort all the sound and visual material that can be found in the apparent chaos of metropolitan and natural spaces.
