--- Q & A with Will Kemp

和訳 #1 #2

Q6: Over the years you have had to deal with a fairly heavy amount of media attention, particularly around Swan Lake. How do you think your feelings towards this aspect of your life have change?

A: Having to live up to the responsibility of playing The Swan in Swan Lake on Broadway at the age of 21 had an effect on me. It was certainly one of the times that I realised a lot about life in this kind of business. Learning how easy it could be to lose control of what you really want out of your career and just be swept away by all the hype and frivolous things that surround it. I do think of it as the least important thing in my working life and am very aware of its crossover into my private life. A certain amount of the right publicity is important in the job I do and therefore is a necessary evil I believe it's important to be aware of whats being said about you, whether you agree with it or not. The more publicity I have done, the more I have learnt to be selective about what kind of media attention I wish to entertain. The worst thing for me is reading or seeing pictures in magazines of people who have no real talent, no real job or reason for being there, except for the ability to court the media and attract publicity. When I need to put things into perspective I remember the saying, "Today's news will be wrapped around tomorrow's fish'n' chips".


Q7: How would you like your career to develop in the future? Is dance still as high on the agenda as it was 5 years ago?

A: I always find it funny to look back on the things I have done. When I do, I am usually quite surprised by all the amazing chances I have had, fantastic places I have performed, the great people I have met and I forget the fact that it has all happend in such a short space of time. At the moment I think that AMP is possibly the only thing that keeps me dancing, keeps me wanting to achieve more as a dancer. I very much enjoy the acting side of the work and who knows, maybe I can carry that on after I have danced until I can dance no more...!


Q8: During your time with AMP is there any particular moment that sticks out in your mind as memorable or special to you?

A: That's a very difficult question to answer. I guess that in a strange way, much of my growing up or developing has been done during my time with AMP and there are simply too many special moments. Creating the Neopolitan Dance, being asked to learn The Swan, watching the sun rise over Edinburgh on tour, performing at the Royal Albert Hall, the last night of Cinderella, the first night of The Car Man....


Q9: If the whole dancing thing hadn't worked out for you, what do you think you might have been doing? Do you have any other hidden talents?

A: In all honesty I never gave myself the chance to think that the dancing thing might not work out. Once I knew, around the age of thirteen or fourteen, that was it. That was what I wanted to do and so I was going to do it. It is the best way round really because if I really wanted to, I could spend the rest of my life searching for a different thing to do. All the time knowing that in a sense I had already achieved something that I really wanted to do, more than anything.


Q10: If you could pick only one thing in your career to date that you could be remembered for, what would it be and why this in particular?

A: Another very difficult question..! I still hope that the best things are yet to come...Ask me again in a few years time.
