WE- first post, the structure of the way of working

[Shai Faran]

It started from an idea. From a moment of inspiration that lightened my passion to start to create something.
Its not that first I wanted to create and then I had to think about what to create, but it was more like the inspiration brought this urge to me.
Then, I found the material- the people I want to work with. The people that understands me, that interest me, and that share interests with me.
Then, I turned to look at the ingredients. What is the vocabulary and the language that I want to create and to use in the piece? What do I already have (from the idea itself and from the people) and what do I have to build and develop?
This led me to building some kind of a daily routine that will (hopefully) develop abilities, qualities, expressions and textures that I'm interested in having in the piece.
This routine is not directly connected to the work, but if we will be able to make the right applications, it will serve that goal.
In general this is something that I'm trying to apply in my life- to work and to practice different things that I'm interested at and to create the applications between them. Sometimes its good to separate things, but in the end, if we learn and practice things and then we don't use them its a bit pointless…

So after having the idea (my initial inspiration), the material (people) and the ingredients (physical language), I arrived to the point of asking myself what do I want to do with all this? What is my personal taste in relation to all this, and what do I want to say about it? Or in different words- the choreographic and dramaturgy side of the work.

So to start the work together we started with a very similar process to the process I just described until now. First we got connected to the initial idea that I got inspired from, on top of that we put the individuality and personality, and on top of that we started to create the physicality that comes from all this, with my guidance and my personal taste.

Working and dealing with all these aspect of the process, it became part the process itself.
Everyday we put time to invest in each one of the layers of the process and also time to mix them and let the applications take part.

I think this is what they call PROCESS.
