我和他一起工作的時間不算長，演過他的《輕歌劇》

(Operette):我穿上裙裙子、高跟鞋作女裝打扮，覺

卓越成就。

得自己演得實在不理想。 再者，史圖加芭蕾舞因時常邀請風格多樣的編舞家 排演節目，舞者遂練就了善於應變的才能 ，我們能

在很快的時間內從先前一個編導的風格轉變過來，

問和依利•基利安及威廉•科西合作的情況又怎樣？

答基利安是個很有趣的人•他那愛錦■笑、鬧著玩的能

達到另一個編導的要求。這種能演繹變化多端風

力實在驚人！他很愛吃希臘食品，有一次我們到希

格，多才多藝的特性，也是史圖加芭蕾舞團團員的

臘餐廳去，我忘了他隨手拿起些什麽來把玩，好像

特點。

是水果之類的東西。之後，他編了一個作品，舞台 練成善於應變能力

問可否談談你跟眾多蜚聲國際的編舞家如漢斯•范 •

曼倫、約翰•紐邁亞、莫里斯•比才特等合作時的 經驗？他們哪一位對舞者的要求最高？ 答這很難説 ，因為他們全都對舞者在技巧及情緒投入

方面要求極嚴，為此他們的聲名才如此大噪哩！大 術同樣往往要求舞者做到他們本身的極限為止。這

是唯一可行的辦法，不然的話，作品就無法達到預 期到的效果。

苑•曼倫的舞蹈有時候好像很簡單，但出來的結果

上全放滿了鮮橙，舞者們就跟這些鮮橙嬉戲，基利 安還讓一位穿上腳尖鞋的女舞者踩在鮮橙上.她這

一踩，橙就應聲被壓爛了。他天馬行空的構思直箇 是絶妙非凡！

我是他給史圖加芭蕾舞團編排 《踏腳石》(Stepping

Stones)的原演出者之一。基利安很能營造歡愉輕 鬆的工作氣氛，他在排練室裡仍經常愛跟我們嬉 笑。當然，排舞的時候他给指示十分精簡明確’我 們都得竭力地達到要求，但我相信假如你能寓工作

於娛樂，幹得開心自然會幹得更好，更起勁，更有 效率。

卻是極難做到，簡直是要了我和其他男舞蹈員的 命，他就是不容許你有任何放鬆的時刻。 曾有一段日子，范•曼倫是史圖加芭蕾舞團的駐團

讚揚編舞家能編能跳

威廉•科西是個智力型、愛探索深奥論題的編舞 家。跟他一起工作亦是件美事，他也是個很有趣的

編舞家。最記得他第一次來给我們排舞的時候，態

人。他有本事令你以從未曾想像過的方式’如此這

度史極了，沒半點同情心，整天喝罵舞者，所有人

般地驅動一己的身體。他懂得引導你作嘗試’結果

都害怕他。後來，我們才漸漸發覺他不過是虚張聲

你成功了，實在使人讚歎！

勢，實際上和他合作是極其愉快的事。他的作品雖 情節欠奉，但總會描繪多種人際關係。我剛當專業

舞者的頭一、兩年便有幸跟他一起工作，演出他的 很多作品，他更给我和貝吉，篕爾编排創作了《繩 圈》這個舞蹈。

問換言之，科西擅長於發掘舞者的潛質。他有否給舞

者做示範？ 答他做的示範敎人叫絶。其實’上述這些編舞家’他 們每一個都精於示範。就説紐邁亞罷，他能跳其編 排的舞劇《茶花女》裡所有角色：大衛亦能跳自己

跟紐邁亞一起工作其實是挺不錯的，他給史圖加芭

蕾舞團排演了多齣舞作，包括《美狄亞》，他經常 有很好創作構想。

的作品，他演得比任何人更精采'
