Interview with Classical Post
Natalia Kazaryan interviews Vivian Fung, covering topics from creative philosophy to what happens in the creative process, to life at Juilliard, and what’s on her playlist right now.
I have learned through years of working that it is best not to force the creative process. I take a break - sleep definitely helps, and sometimes I am gifted with an aha! moment when I wake up in the morning. We live in California where we can go out for a walk or take a bike ride, and getting fresh air helps.
Also, this is something I tell my students - keep a reserve of ideas for your creative well. Whenever you come up with an idea, store it away or write it down, but don’t forget it. These are kernels of potential ideas that will help you in the future. That way the creative well never runs dry. Right now, my creative well is quite full!
