The beautiful Peer Gynt experience

Wow! I can't believe how blessed I have been this year.
So thankful to Nationaltheatret, Alexander Mørk Eidem, Andreas Utnem for this MAGICAL opportunity. And the beautiful, warm and generous cast/family of Peer Gynt, thank you for your patience and kindness.

I love you guise <3

YOU can do what ever YOU put your mind, heart and crazy eyes in to!!

YOU can do what ever YOU put your mind, heart and crazy eyes in to!!
Seriously.
So, i've always loved the strings... but never had the guts to learn because I thought it was to late for me.
But, about one month ago I said FUDGE IT, and bought my self a violin for my 25th birthday. I've been teaching my self through youtube since.

My goal? Is to be good enough to play it live in one of my shows this year.
If I can do that... then YOU do anything!! (Clishé alert)
Never give up on your dream.

Love,

Amina

Solveig in Peer Gynt 2014 - Nationaltheatret

Woohoo!

9th August is the premiere of "Peer Gynt" at the Nationaltheater in Oslo.
And I will be playing the role of Solveig... which makes me the first woman of color to ever get this part in over a hundred years, since Ibsen first put up the play in Norway.

Excited? Yeah!
