After a summer in the mountains and having walked in the footsteps of my childhood, I feel the fear of losing the familiar. How does the fear of broken belonging, ruined nature and a collective complex shape our idea of the future. Movement patterns – influenced by the landscapes around four top points in the mountains I regard as home – are abstracted and minimalised, then used as a base for composition. <img width="2048"

Kva gjer frykta for broten tilhøyring, ruinert natur og eit kollektivt kompleks om idéen om framtida. Nostalgi var opprinneleg ein medisinsk diagnose; kjensla av sjukeleg heimlengt, mynta av den sveitsiske medisinstudenten Johannes Hofer i 1678. Tilstanden skal opprinnelig ha blitt observert blant unge menn frå tronge dalar i Sveits som vart sendt ut i krigen på dei opne slettene i Tyskland. Nostalgia vart vurdert som dødeleg om han ikkje vart behandla. Ein av måtane å helbrede soldatene på, var å sende dei heim. Gjennom begrepet nostalgia ser eg framtida i frå fortida. I 1977 beskreiv forfattar Fred Davies i boka Nostalgia, Identity and the Current Nostalgia Wave begrepet som: “Engendering a coherent and continous identity as we remind ourself in the presence of who we were in the past”. Nostalgia blir slik ein måte å oppretthalde sanningar på. Minnet er kunnskap som blir oppfatta gjennom lyst (desire) og igangsatt gjennom rekonstruksjon. Å hugse er ei handling der tidlegare hendingar blir gitt spesifikk betyding. Å hugse skaper sanning. Gjennom minnet skapast her ein interaksjon mellom fortid og notid. Minnet fungerer nemleg som lenka til framtida i den konstante notida. Kva skjer når realiteten som ligg i minnet trugast av planer om fatale desktruksjonaer av natur igongsatt av vårt kollektive oljenasjonskompleks? Forestillinga er ein ode mot vindkraftdestruksjonen av det som er heime og heimleg. ENG:After a summer in the mountains and having walked in the footsteps of my childhood, I feel the fear of losing the familiar. How does the fear of broken belonging, ruined nature and a collective complex shape our idea of the future. Nostalgia was originally a medical diagnosis; homesick, coined by the Swiss medical student Johannes Hofer in 1678. The condition is said to have originally been observed among young men from narrow valleys in Switzerland who were sent off to war on the open plains of Germany. Nostalgia was considered fatal if left untreated. One of the ways to cure the soldiers was to send them home. Through the concept of nostalgia, I see the future from the past. In 1977, author Fred Davies described the concept in his book Nostalgia, Identity and the Current Nostalgia Wave as: "Engendering a coherent and continous identity as we remind ourselves in the presence of who we were in the past". Nostalgia&nbsp; becomes a way of maintaining truths. Memory is knowledge perceived through desire and initiated through reconstruction. Remembering is an act where past events are given specific meaning. Remembering creates truths. Memory shapes an interaction between past and present. Memory functions as a link to the future in the constant present. What happens when the reality that lies in memory is threatened by plans for fatal destructions of nature initiated by our collective oil nation complex? The performance is an ode against the destruction of what is regarded as home due to wind power development. https://jonasoren.com/Untitled-Page-3 Wed, 13 Mar 2024 19:52:12 +0000 jonasoren https://jonasoren.com/Untitled-Page-3 https://jonasoren.com/Logica-Intro Fri, 29 Dec 2023 12:52:11 +0000 jonasoren https://jonasoren.com/Logica-Intro LOGICA FIRDA 100 ÅR - Jubileumsforestilling https://jonasoren.com/Logica1 Fri, 29 Dec 2023 13:29:03 +0000 jonasoren https://jonasoren.com/Logica1 Dates:16.09.2217.09.22 Trivselshagen, Sandane Logica is a commission from Firda Vidaregåande Skule for the schools 100 year anniversary celebration. Duration: 1h 25 mins LOGICA - RHETORICA - METAPHYSICA: Why do we learn what we do? And who decides this? In Ludvig Holberg's famous work, Erasmus Montanus, the main character Rasmus Berg comes to visit his home village after studying in the big city. The knowledge he has absorbed creates a divide between him and his fellow villagers. Berg's knowledge is the starting point for misunderstandings and satire, which creates the dramaturgical line of the play. Can a person become too knowledgeable for one's own good? In Logica we address this and other questions in the anniversary performance that marks 100 years of Firda Upper Secondary School. Here we look at how theatre and performing arts have criticised and celebrated the educational institution, the school system and teaching throughout the ages. The performance emphasises and challenges ideas about logic and who gets to write history. Together, this becomes a love letter to the teaching profession and local forces - as well as a wonderment about what awaits around the next bend: The future is here now! “Eg staar med hatt i hand / framfor mitt kjære lærarstand / som trutt lyt leida meg, den dryge kunnskapsveg. Dei pryler paa meg hardt / og fram eg skrid med sniglefart / og fyl den sterke hand / som ber mitt muleband. Og vil eg ikkje gaa / so spring dei bak og jagar paa. / Og jammen lyt eg til/ kor lite so eg vil. So larkar eg i veg / og mulebandet fører meg igjennom øydeland. / Skje takk mitt lærarstand.” Excerpt from the school paper “Firdaljos”, dated 1926. https://jonasoren.com/Logica2 Fri, 29 Dec 2023 13:46:09 +0000 jonasoren https://jonasoren.com/Logica2 Artistic team: Concept, artistic direction, choreography: Jonas Øren Co-creators: Åshild Lerpold, Helena Heggli Walseth, Judith Karin Bakketun Musical supervision: Hanne Grete Heen, Olai Førsund, Øystein Eide, Martin KorenTheatrical supervision: Ingeborg Stige https://jonasoren.com/Logica3 Fri, 29 Dec 2023 13:53:35 +0000 jonasoren https://jonasoren.com/Logica3 Documentation: Film: Runar Sandnes https://jonasoren.com/Intro-Kalokagathia Fri, 29 Dec 2023 12:01:01 +0000 jonasoren https://jonasoren.com/Intro-Kalokagathia KALOKAGATHIA (2024) https://jonasoren.com/Kalo1 Fri, 29 Dec 2023 12:07:12 +0000 jonasoren https://jonasoren.com/Kalo1 Dates: 29.02.24Dansens Hus, Oslo Norway01.03.24Dansens Hus, Oslo Norway02.03.24Dansens Hus, Oslo Norway03.03.24Dansens Hus, Oslo Norway06.03.24RAS, Sandnes Norway 20.04.24Multiplié Dansefestival Rosendal Teater, Trondheim The Greek term kalokagathia describes the connection between moral greatness and the beautiful body – an idea that has accompanied us from antiquity to present day. Inspired by this historical term, the dance performance Kalokagathia is a collection of embodied, glamorous tales about the demi-gods of our time. Danced fantasy driven images – tableau vivants – of the ideals that shaped and shape us in the way we present our bodies in society. The ambition is to comment on how we are followers of those who present themselves or are given the role as superior, eminent, influential and powerful. It sheds light on who has written the story of how we understand success and virtuosity, and how we give bodies value. The dance project merges musical acts, song, story-telling and choreography as it narrates the meaning of the ideal through notions of imitation: How do we imitate and mirror the people we look up to, and why do we make these body-images a part of our own self? It questions the effect of how popular culture choreographs its followers by presenting bodies of success as emancipating and edifying, yet cruel, toxic and unattainable.In the process, the group of performers creates movement while reminiscing personal memories of teenage idols. Jonas Øren uses this as choreographic matter and dissects it with the ambition to create new performative modes of success – deconstructing and challenging the well-known. The ambition is for the movement and linguistic patterns to become choreographic and musical reference points in various well-known choreographic scenarios The group are entangled in a glamorous stage room that crosses scenography and costume driven by the desire to self-create. It is relevant to connect ideas related to body, gender and sexuality with the speculative, consumer oriented objectification and commercial strategies of today: Choreography as self-creation fueled by ideas about grandeur and glamour, and at the same time connected to resistance and the need to wear armour and camouflage. https://jonasoren.com/Kalo2 Fri, 29 Dec 2023 12:18:57 +0000 jonasoren https://jonasoren.com/Kalo2
