Creativity Month: Active Hibernation

Adi Drori is an Israeli actor, singer, theatre creator, director, translator, and voice artist. Her work joins autobiographical experience, social themes, humour, and music on stage, making connection and change through vulnerability and honest self-expression.

Adi graduated from the full acting and directing program at Kibbutzim College's School of Performing Arts, and has over two decades of experience in informal education: teaching and running workshops on voice connection and expression, improvisation and confidence, and the power of words to reshape our reality.

Stage work includes What's Your Issue? (with Chen Saada and Eden Amor), an original musical cabaret about chronic pain, invisible illness, and the female experience of the body; Commander to Skirt (with Keren Shefet and Chen Lugassi), a satirical cabaret on military culture and gender inequality; and You're Just Like Your Mother, a comedy co-written with Shani Tzabari for Tzavta's Short Theater Festival about inherited family patterns. Additional performances include productions at Habima, the Haifa Theatre, Tmuna, the Mediatheque, and the Jerusalem Theatre Group.

Oren Chazan is a digital entrepreneur, business and marketing consultant, and co-founder of Montino Coliving. After seven years as a digital nomad, Oren set out to build the meaning, belonging, and continuity that a life in motion often misses. Together with his co-founders, they turned a former family-run hotel into a shared home where remote work, nature, creativity, and community come together, and where relationships have the time and space to grow through everyday life.

After completing Arnina Kashtan's ReConnect program at the center for Non-Violent Communication, Oren draws on its principles in his approach to community living: curiosity toward people's needs, honest communication, personal responsibility, and participation being an invitation and a free choice.
