Jeg er visst ikke helt klar* (I don't seem to be quite ready)
Jeg er visst ikke helt klar* (I don't seem to be quite ready) (2004) was a theatre production by Ferske Scener, the world premiere of a text by Bjørn Are Dypås. The opening took place at Stamsund International Theatre Festival.
Kristin Eriksen Bjørn directed it.
The work with the text started in June 2003. It sped up for real after two three-day long text workshops during January 2004. Jeg er visst ikke helt klar was Bjørn Are Dypås' debut as a playwright, and the script was written in close collaboration with director and dramaturge Kristin E. Bjørn.

"During the text workshops for Jeg er visst ikke helt klar, Ferske Scener tested excerpts of the texts on the floor, revealing strengths and not least weaknesses. The actors Pernille Dahl Johnsen, Bernt Bjørn and Stian Hovland Pedersen brought important contributions to the text during this work.
Later, stage designer Tor-Bjørn Gundersen, light designer Nicolas Horne, choreographer Marianne Nordnes and composer Gaute Barlindhaug became connected to the project.
The production Jeg er visst ikke helt klar had its world premiere during Stamsund International Theatre Festival June 6 2004, after a working period with heavy emphasis on textual development. The Tromsø premiere took place October 27 the same year. Prior to the latter, Ferske Scener had a new, short rehearsal period during which the production found its final shape.
Excerpts of the production were also performed during Arts Council Norway's conference about festivals as an arena for art November 16."
