This exposition is a documentary project on the artistic research project Neither Fish nor Fowl. The research project consists of theatre making, film making, and writing, and explores the wondrous worlds of becoming in theatre for early years. Together with my theatre company Teater Fot, I investigate the significance of affect as philosophical, emotional, and material inspiration in the creative process, and in relation to young children in Theatre for Early Years. Neither Fish nor Fowl was conducted as a performance project from April 2017 to November 2018. During this period, the research process has been documented in Research Catalogue, presenting research methods, writings, and reflections along the way. The pre-production performance (for babies 0-2) was shown at the festival Olavsfestdagene in Trondheim, Norway, summer 2017 and at Trondheim Kunsthall autumn 2017. The full production, Begynnelser (for 3-5 years), was presented in april 2018 in co-production with the venue Teaterhuset Avant Garden in Trondheim. The final baby version, Baby Becomings (0-2 years), was presented at festivals and for kindergartens in Trondheim autumn 2018.
The project continues with writing, film making and an exposition in VIS - Nordic Journal for Artistic Research #2 on the theme Estrangement autumn 2019
