Wednesday, June 19th, 2013Or more precisely, the painting in the ceiling. Part of the scenography for Far, Far Away. Cold facts about drug-addiction and overdose deaths in Bergen. Tomorrow it´s opening night!
The big, red carpet
Sunday, June 16th, 2013I´m in Bergen, it´s tech-day, and I´ve been working on getting the set for Far, Far Away ready. The set is quite simple, with a few, strong elements. The most obvious of them is a big, red carpet. I´ve cut the edges for an organic feel. My scissors is still sharp, but my fingers are [...]
Bomlo backdrop
Sunday, June 2nd, 2013Last night the Jubilee-concert celebrating Bømlo municipally´s 50 year anniversary took place. A simple, yet beautiful concert, with greetings from different groups and lots of musicians and groups participating, all playing something written by our local composer Kenneth Sivertsen. It was all a tribute to the island, and the people living here, and honestly I [...]

dance studio model
Monday, March 25th, 2013Part of being a set-designer is making models. Models of the stage and everything you want to place on it. A lot of the culture-house-stages have the same minimum measurements, which makes it very practical to have a wooden model of one. For other shows in other venues, I make new models. This one is in [...]

The show doesn´t open until April 10th, so I can´t show you too many photos yet. But we had a photo-shoot today, and I just [...]
the showering sandbox
Wednesday, March 20th, 2013I promised I´d write about the theatre today. And where else is it the most natural thing in the world to bring an old Sand-box in from the road, and into the shower to clean it up!? I needed a yellow sandbox for the show I´m working on, and was able to borrow this old box [...]

Cardamon city comes to life
Monday, November 5th, 2012Sunday morning, 8 o´clock, the carpenters, the painters, the prop-people, the lighting-guys are all busy at work. It´s like a little ant-hill, with lots of people working concentrated, each one with their tasks, and finally, FINALLY, Cardamon City is coming to life! It´s the very first time, the tall buildings have never been put together [...]
