Artistry in Motion
About Shelmith
Shelmith Øseth is a Kenyan-Norwegian freelance dancer and movement artist based in Bergen and Oslo, Norway. Her artistic journey gained national attention in 2017 when she advanced to the semifinals on Norway’s Got Talent. She refined her craft at Langhaugen Upper Secondary School in Bergen and furthered her studies at the School of Contemporary Dance in Härnösand, Sweden.
Shelmith’s work bridges contemporary dance with traditional African dance forms such as indlamu and pantsula from South Africa, and isukuti from Kenya’s Luhya tribe. Through her performances, she explores themes of identity, migration, and cultural intersectionality — drawing from her personal experience navigating multiple cultures.
Throughout her career, Shelmith has collaborated with renowned institutions including The Norwegian Theatre in Oslo, Den Nationale Scene in Bergen, Nordic Black Theatre, Bergen Kunsthall, and The Nordic Beasts in Denmark. Internationally, she has performed at venues such as Theater ZeBU in Denmark and Wiels in Brussels.
