Credit: Thrill Athens (MJ DANCE TRIBUTE Athens) 希臘的歌迷去做的採訪 Stacy first of all thank you for the opportunity, means a lot to us Greek fans! You had the chance of being part of Michael’s vision and imagination in the formation of a series of concerts that could have been his career highlight, in what we know as "a Michael Jackson concert experience". How did you get involved in this and what was your role in the THIS IS IT project, starting from the auditions to the final result we would eventually see? Q:你是怎麼接觸到TII這個計畫的呢? My role was ASSOCIATE CHOREOGRAPHER. Travis Payne and Kenny Ortega asked for me to be involved in the project. A: 我的工作是負編舞 Travis Payne和Kenny Ortega問我加入的 Have you ever worked with Michael before? Q:你有跟MJ工做過? I was a dancer in GHOSTS & HIStory Tour (1997). A: 我是Ghosts MV和歷史之旅裡面的舞者 Where did you study dance? What did Michael like about your choreography style? Q: 在哪學的舞? I mainly studied dance in Atlanta with THE ATLANTA JAZZ THEATRE. A: 主要是亞特蘭大的THE ATLANTA JAZZ THEATRE What were your dance idols when you were little? How were you influenced by Michael? Q: 舞蹈方面小時崇拜的對象有受到MJ影響? I (like MJ) love Bob Fosse! He was very inspiring & creative. Michael, of course has always been a great inspiration to me. He is truly 1 of a kind & so groundbreaking. He was always original! I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him. A: 我喜歡Bob Fosse 非常有啟發性和有創意當然MJ一直是啟發非常有開創性非常感激有機會和他一起工作 Tell us a few things about Michael and how did you first meet him? Q: 告訴我們你第一次見到MJ的一些事情 Michael was very sweet and kind. Always appreciative of everybody's talent and hard work. He was fun & silly. He loved jokes. He was very focused, involved and hard working. Always loving and kind. I first met him in rehearsals in LA for GHOSTS. A: 麥可非常有善總是很欣賞所有人的天賦和努力很很有趣和傻傻的他喜歡開玩笑他很專注而且工作認真總是充滿愛我第一次碰到他是在LA彩排Ghosts Did Michael ever talk about classical dancing. What type of dance influences you see in his style? Q: 麥可有講過甚麼傳統的舞蹈嗎你從他的舞有看過哪些的影響 He loved leaps! :) Isn't that funny!?!? A: 他很喜歡跳躍有趣吧 How was it working for Michael Jackson compared to your previous experiences as a choreographer? Q: 跟MJ工作和其他工作相比? Wonderful. It's amazing to work with Michael because you were always surrounded by the best of the best, in every field... Very inspiring. You always wanted to give him your best! A: 棒級了跟麥可工作很棒因為你是跟業界最出色的人工作非常具啟發性你也總是想給出你最好的 We know you had a close collaboration with Travis Payne. How did you two work together and how did you both work with Michael? Q: 你是怎麼開始跟Travis Payne工作的又怎麼開始幫MJ工作 Travis & I have known each other since we were teenagers. We work very well together & have a natural balance. Whenever we needed to split up , I would work with dancers while he worked with Michael.. A: 我青年時期就認識Travis 合作愉快有時我幫舞者採排 Travis和MJ排演 Do you remember any funny moments with Michael during rehearsals? Could you describe some? Q:記得任何跟MJ彩排的趣事? Michael was so sweet. In "BEAT IT" (live in concert) he would look into the camera and punch. After, he would always apologize to the camera operator! haha! A: 麥可人超貼心的在Beat it演出時他每次都會對著攝影機揮拳之後他每次都會去跟錄影的人道歉哈 Did he ever make any mistakes and how did he react to that? :) How was his typical warm up? Q: 他會出錯嗎? 事後反應? After ANYONE made a mistake he would always say: "that's what rehearsal's for!" :) A: 只要有任何人出錯他總是說這就是我們為何要採排 How many times did you dance with him onstage and did you ever…correct him? Did he ever give you any advice you will never forget? Q: 你跟他在台上跳過多少次舞? 你有糾正過他嗎? 有給你過甚麼建議 I danced with him many times. (GHOSTS and HIStory Tour). I learned a lot from him, especially that sometimes "less is more", it's important to "sizzle"... A: 很多次 Ghost和歷史之旅從他身上學到很多像是less is more 還有sizzle很重要 Was Michael “open’ to new moves/routines by others, apart from you and Travis? Q: MJ對其他人的舞步接受度大嗎? Sure! A: 當然 Stacy how much of THIS IS IT we haven’t seen or could possibly..imagine? Is there enough material for a second film? Q: 剩下的TII錄影素才有可能剪成第二集? I (personally) do not think there is enough for a 2nd film. (we were never shooting a film so it's amazing they had enough footage for THIS IS IT...) A: 我不認為有足夠的影片出第二集我們從來不是為了電影而拍攝有足夠的影片湊成一部電影已經是萬幸 What was his behavior towards the dancers of the show. Was he instructing them, giving advice? Did he have a “favorite” dancer? Q:他對TII舞者的態度? 指導他們? 有特別喜歡哪個? He loved the dancers! I don't know if he had a specific favorite. He loved that THEY loved to dance, especially to his music.. A: 他喜歡他的舞者們不知道他是否有特別喜歡哪個他喜歡他們熱愛舞蹈特別是用他的音樂跳舞 Which was the daily routine for the THIS IS IT dancers? What was the technique they were taught? Do you consider this the best team you ever worked with? Q: 這是最棒的團隊? I do think this was 1 of the best groups of dancers I ever worked with. We all became really close & are now bonded for life. A: 的確是最好的一群舞者我們最後都很親近 What was your favorite choreography from the show? What did you personally propose concerning new moves or choreography changes? Q: 最喜歡的舞碼? 你本身有建議哪些新動作或改變? My favorite part of choreographing is staging. I LOVED Jam, Smooth and Dangerous!!! A: 我最喜歡的編舞部分是staging 我喜歡Jam Smooth criminal和dangerous Did you participate in the “final audition” for the selection of THIS IS IT dancers and how did you manage to make this selection? Q: 你有參與舞者的試鏡? I was involved in the entire audition process. We had to talk about decisions as we did not all agree... A: 參與整個試鏡過程會討論 What is the best and most memorable “moment” for you during this experience? What did you learn from all this? Q:印象最深刻的? 學到甚麼? I loved EVERY minute of this job. I never wanted to go home! I learned that I am not in charge of this life. I can only do my best & enjoy the journey. The final outcome is up to a bigger power. This was a very freeing realization. A: 我愛每一分鐘都不想回家了我學到了我不能控制我的人生我只能盡我最大能力然後享受這個旅程最後的結局是在更上一層力量的手中 -- In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. In a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. ~~~~By Michael Jackson -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 71.179.164.112
