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:你是怎麽接触到TII这个计画的呢? My role was ASSOCIATE CHOREOGRAPHER. Travis Payne and Kenny Ortega asked for me to be involved in the project. A: 我的工作是负编舞 Travis Payne和Kenny Ortega问我加入的 Have you ever worked with Michael before? Q:你有跟MJ工做过? I was a dancer in GHOSTS & HIStory Tour (1997). A: 我是Ghosts MV和历史之旅里面的舞者 Where did you study dance? What did Michael like about your choreography style? Q: 在哪学的舞? I mainly studied dance in Atlanta with THE ATLANTA JAZZ THEATRE. A: 主要是亚特兰大的THE ATLANTA JAZZ THEATRE What were your dance idols when you were little? How were you influenced by Michael? Q: 舞蹈方面小时崇拜的对象 有受到MJ影响? 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: 我喜欢Bob Fosse 非常有启发性和有创意 当然MJ一直是启发 非常有开创性 非常感激 有机会和他一起工作 Tell us a few things about Michael and how did you first meet him? Q: 告诉我们你第一次见到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: 麦可非常有善 总是很欣赏所有人的天赋和努力 很很有趣和傻傻的 他喜欢开玩笑 他很专注 而且工作认真 总是充满爱 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: 麦可有讲过甚麽传统的舞蹈吗 你从他的舞有看过哪些的影响 He loved leaps! :) Isn't that funny!?!? A: 他很喜欢跳跃 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: 棒级了 跟麦可工作很棒 因为你是跟业界最出色的人工作 非常具启发性 你也总是想 给出你最好的 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: 你是怎麽开始跟Travis Payne工作的 又怎麽开始帮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: 我青年时期就认识Travis 合作愉快 有时我帮舞者采排 Travis和MJ排演 Do you remember any funny moments with Michael during rehearsals? Could you describe some? Q:记得任何跟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: 麦可人超贴心的 在Beat it演出时 他每次都会对着摄影机挥拳 之後他每次都会去跟 录影的人道歉 哈 Did he ever make any mistakes and how did he react to that? :) How was his typical warm up? Q: 他会出错吗? 事後反应? After ANYONE made a mistake he would always say: "that's what rehearsal's for!" :) A: 只要有任何人出错 他总是说 这就是我们为何要采排 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: 你跟他在台上跳过多少次舞? 你有纠正过他吗? 有给你过甚麽建议 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和历史之旅 从他身上学到很多 像是less is more 还有sizzle很重要 Was Michael “open’ to new moves/routines by others, apart from you and Travis? Q: MJ对其他人的舞步接受度大吗? Sure! A: 当然 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录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: 我不认为有足够的影片出第二集 我们从来不是为了电影而拍摄 有足够的影片凑成 一部电影已经是万幸 What was his behavior towards the dancers of the show. Was he instructing them, giving advice? Did he have a “favorite” dancer? Q:他对TII舞者的态度? 指导他们? 有特别喜欢哪个? 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: 他喜欢他的舞者们 不知道他是否有特别喜欢哪个 他喜欢他们热爱舞蹈 特别是用他 的音乐跳舞 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: 这是最棒的团队? 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: 的确是最好的一群舞者 我们最後都很亲近 What was your favorite choreography from the show? What did you personally propose concerning new moves or choreography changes? Q: 最喜欢的舞码? 你本身有建议哪些新动作或改变? My favorite part of choreographing is staging. I LOVED Jam, Smooth and Dangerous!!! A: 我最喜欢的编舞部分是staging 我喜欢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: 你有参与舞者的试镜? I was involved in the entire audition process. We had to talk about decisions as we did not all agree... A: 参与整个试镜过程 会讨论 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? 学到甚麽? 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: 我爱每一分钟 都不想回家了 我学到了我不能控制我的人生 我只能尽我最大能力 然後 享受这个旅程 最後的结局是在更上一层力量的手中 -- 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 --
