Bore/dom

Lying horizontally, having brainfog, having pain through the body, having blurry feelings and thoughts and rare human contact. Its boring. Sometimes its upsetting. It can feel like you are carrying a judgement and a curse: hence the title bore/dom. Being bored however has also been a blessing. I have new found ways of thinking, doing and being that has become an everyday dance. Boredom is something I would recommend. Sometimes. Everything in the right amount. And when the body refuse to show any signs of vitality, I surrender to boredom and allow it to be as it is. In my experience so far boredom always changes into something more interesting: a creative thought, another feeling, a new idea or anything of something else. I keep saying this ME illness has its benefits in this way, I have had to change my way of doing things drastically since my life before ME took over my body. And sometimes its a curse, because nothing seems to shift. But it always shifts because life always moves forward whether it feels like it or not.

These days I am preparing for a performance in a tiny new dance studio in Oslo. Following the performance I will share from my experience going from a normative bodied dance artist, to a disabled dance artist. Another artist will share some of her experience from another perspective, and from there we hope to engage in dialogue on the topic of how disabled dance artists can work on the same premisses as non-disabled dance artists. All perspectives are welcome, yet the conversations on the day might be short due to my need of energy economizing. Yet I do believe in starting the topic of conversation. Because its needed in society, not just in my personal life. Click on this text for more information. Photo: Per Rutledal with Kristine Nilsen Oma

  1. My souls vivid thoughts!

    It is so much history stored in our bodies, all of our experiences, all of our past lives, what we carry in our lineage, and so much more. Dancing is the therapy, cure and the freedom to fly to the unknown. Dancing the cycles of our ages, dancing will always change our relationship and perception with our body, mind and spirit together with our shadows, allowing the knowledge of that occupying body of ours to that line of life force to flow through those changes within our inner world.

    Finding a way home again…home at times strange home …in the this conscious part of the soul´s journey…and it never ends…it will never end.

    It can be a so hard and dark  journey especially when we feel painful memories lodged in our bodies, which in purge awaken when we begin to move breaking the barriers of our own capacity…cutting the bullshit of the view from the external gratification world….when those external eyes and emotions can not longer feel natural or normal…Soon this is liberated and we become transparent to our own existence…evolving!
