THE PROCESS

Teresa Phuti Mojela is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher, and Katlego Chale is a writer, actor, and lecturer.

This Considered 3 Minutes from the two artists asks: What happens when we meditate together?

Mojela and Chale enter the space and listen. To each other, to all that is around them, within them and beyond them. Guided by a range of limitless stimuli, each responds through action to inscribe on a canvas the fragments passing through the space-time continuum that emerges through their perceptive stillness. They attempt to reach the state which Zarilli describes as "standing still while not standing still". Mojela inscribes through and with the body as Chale uses the pen and whatever his hands may find. This meditation of communion is called ‘The Process’.

Between process and meditation, creation arises.
Meditation is listening.
Listening requires openness.
Openness allows connection.
Connection builds community.
Community takes communion.
Communion breeds spirit.
Spirit enables breath.
Breath unearths voice.
Voice shapes desire.
Desire births hope.
Hope breeds faith.
Faith demands discipline.
Discipline by meditation…
Meditation is listening.
