Kristine Nilsen Oma, an Australian dancer, choreographer, and dance teacher will perform her award winning solo work Trapped & Triggered as part of Ancient Future - Australian Arts Festival Japan 2003 and the Asia Contemporary Dance Festival from 15-16 August in Osaka.

Trapped & Triggered is a mix of dance and theatre and emphasises the use of text in a contemporary dance performance. It consists of movement, text, light and some pre-recorded sound. Trapped & Triggered is an emotive performance that evolves around a personal experience of love.

Nilsen Oma, a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne, and the Laban Centre, London has been critically acclaimed as a performer and choreographer in Norway and the United Kingdom.

Trapped & Triggered was first presented as part of the Melbourne Dancehouse Great Escapes 2002 season, an open platform which provides choreographers the chance to show new short works. Dancehouse, which seeks to foster cutting edge Australian dance, hope that Nilsen Oma's journey to Japan will help Australian Japan arts exchange to flourish.
