In the performance "Our Loves" that was launched in July 2007, we dealt with couples and relationships. Starting with a chance encounter, that could possibly hold the promise of love; through a fresh partnership that undergoes challenges, couples in crisis, love relations outside of the marriage, betrayals, lies and forgiveness. The course actors read the play from which the scene was taken, and worked in depth on the characters, their background, designing their personality and their body language, the relationships between them, their situation in life and the emotional state they are in.
The scenes that were chosen mostly constituted the peak of the play, and required the actors to conduct some inner work and technical work that was very challenging. The performance was launched with a visual group scenario, which accompanied its singing and music (by Oded Forer, a member of the course) and conducted an original song called "I Found You":
There is no way, no way to understand
Where do you end and where do I begin
It is difficult to know and most of the time it is confusing
What is a road and what is barely a path ...
Trees are seeking out the sun
Rivers are tricking into the ocean
I – found you
Slowly slowly I am learning to accept
A step and another I understand it better
Understand it more....
Love you more....
I – found you,
I found you, I found you, I injured you...
And like in the song, this is the way that the scenes carried out on stage following the song. The love relationships are complex, sweeten life but also injure the lovers.
And as a finale, the course members appeared in a variety of improvisations that were led by Ronit, and a number of brave people from the audience joined in.
