---　Q & A with Will Kemp

和訳　#1　#2

Q1：　The final stage of your training was with the Royal Ballet. What made you give that all up to work for AMP?

A：　I never really thought of it as giving up anything. I believe that I moved into another area of dance sure, but I think that I probably carried over a lot of things that were embedded in me from the Royal Ballet Upper School. Some of which I have since chosen to lose and some that I believe have set me in very good stead. I knew that I had made the right choice in joining AMP for the premiere of Swan Lake in 1995. I loved the idea and felt very much at home with the choreography, feeling confident I could bring something to it. I think the major challenge back then was to fit into a very different environment than the one I was used to - the style of work, the working day, the people and so on.

Q2：　How do you feel you have changed as a performer since you first went on as a Swan?

A：　I guess the obvious answer is that I have matured. I would say that I have gained more confidence as a performer and as a person. By confidence, I really mean being more comfortable about myself and who I am. I am a lot more aware now of what I am capable of doing when I put my mind to it, of what is happening around me, how I can fit in and still maintain my integrity. AMP has been a great place to explore things that I would not have had the chance to do anywhere else. I am constantly learning from others and am surprising myself!

Q3：　Of the roles you have played for AMP so far, which do you feel the closest to and why?

A：　As far as feeling close to a role goes, I have to say that there is nothing to beat having a role made especially for you. I have been fortunate enough to have two such roles, The Angel in Cinderella and Angelo in The Car Man. With the latter, I feel I was given a certain amount of creative freedom that I had not experienced before. It simply meant that I had the chance to make brave character choices and not necessarily ones that people were expecting. That is when work becomes exciting for me, having the confidence of a Director and working with a company of people to take risks to achieve something new and interesting.

Q4：　What do you think has been the most challenging aspect of working for AMP?

A：　AMP is quite a volatile company and I believe this is one of the reasons it has achieved what it has. Every project brings a new challenge, making me want to come back wanting to be better, fitter and more convincing than before, I am the kind of person that enjoys the constant challenge that is working for AMP!

Q5：　Matthew Bourne has obviously developed a way of working over the years. Can you describe your method of working and how it has developed?

A：　I don't know that I am aware that I have any particular method of working but I do believe in giving myself to every part that I undertake, sink or swim - maybe that is my method! I would say that a lot more thought goes into anything I do now; for example, being aware of all the choices available, character and choreographical, not just those I feel most comfortable with. I also think that learning a role requires a different approach than that of creating one. The biggest challenge in playing a role originally created for someone else, is trying to extract the things I can identify with and make my own and at the same time, keep within the context of the piece and true to the initial character and choreography. Creating a role enables me to completely immerse myself in a story and find exciting new ways fo breathing life and colour into a new character.
