There is always a first time for everything. My turn has come to perform on a stage play with acting and a monologue. 
Never before have I reached out as an actor - so you can imagine my excitement and thrill. I will present a monologue about seeking refuge, my monologue being one of 5 different stories written by young people who have personally, or alongside there parents and families have had to move at a certain point in there lives. The stories all occur on a day in february 2019, at 16.07.
We here voices from a bed in Buenos Aires, a landfill in the outskirts of Paris, living room in Karasjok, a beach in Fukushima, a bathroom in the USAm and from a container in a coast in Africa. The voices all belong to young people who all want to leave. The share the urge of moving on and away with their lives.  

The piece, which is a new premiere will be performed in Tromsø at halogalandteater.no/and will then be on tour in the Northern regions of Troms and Finnmark. 

Among the crew, I am blessed to have beat boxer, percussionist, programmer , and now also good friend and artistic collaborator, jasonsinghthing.com. Jason will comopose new sounds and music to the show.

Tomorrow starts the journey that I have been dreaming of! I am on my way to Japan with my contemporary Jazz band called Tromsø Kunstforsyning. We will tour the country for 10 days, starting 29. ending 23. this september. The tour is a collaboration with Sizzle Othaka - Japanese singer and children television star host. Cannot wait to hit the stage together with cellist Bernt Simen Lund and Tromboneplayer Øystein Blix! 
This tours rig is a standard industrial Jazz kit, supported with amplified African Kalimba ( this time I go crazy with pedal FX on my Kalimba) and a noise station called Kunst i Kit (homemade and really moody box with knobs)

Will try to update sight with pictures!
Until then; check out Frosts new album!http://www.myspace.com/aggiepeterson
Fun times in Tromsø 4-eva!

Metropolis Silent Movie Russian Tour is over! Wasn't able to update my website as we went. But we did Moscow, Petrozavodsk and Arkhangelsk. All shows were sold out. We travelled long distances, on badly maintained roads for up to 26 hours. Russia is just huge. ( the country reassembles some of the conditions found in some African countries)

Metropolis Crew had a wonderful time, the shows all went well and the crowd was full of ovations! Thanks to Tromsø International Film Festival, Cleaning Women, Gudmund Østgård and Ivan Afanasiev for 7 days of wonder!

Tonight I will  do a show at Driv with local industrial Jazz trio ; Dripp! 
Thanks for following, and please leave feedfacks!
