找到之前一段关于DW的Interview~里面有问了关于他和Jeff的合作情况(挺简单的,偶就不翻了~)
Q: What is it like working with Jeff?
A: I love working with him, it's a trip because he's so talented and what we have in common is that we're both perfectionists and we like to dig really deep and go into the nitty gritty and get caught up in the music.
He's the type of skater that you can take him places that you can't maybe take other skaters. He wants to grow and discover himself and he wants to always be changing. Jeff's a brilliant talent but more than that, on a soulful level he's really is an artist so skating is just a vehicle for him to express himself.
He's a scientist too, I know he is studying bio chemistry and I can relate to that cause I was one of those kids that had a lot of undiscovered talent. I was really into visual arts and really into math too, so I was split right down the middle.
We kind of compliment each other. We play off each other really well. When we work together we both go about things the same way, we just start experimenting and because of the age difference and life experience difference I will see things in him that I used to get stuck in so its fun for me. Its almost a cathartic experience, it gives me a chance to help him the way no one helped me. Basically its fun working with Jeff is not a chore, its like an adventure.
Q: It doesn't feel like work then?
A: Its total play. I don't really think of the final outcome when we start its kind of an adventure. It's not a shock but a really a pleasant surprise when we have a positive response and are excited about what we've done.
觉得DW评价的还是满到位的,他和Jeff合作之前,他编排的像Sébastien Britten和Frederic Dambier的节目总是个性有余,气度不足~有种孤芳自赏的感觉,也把他束缚在比较狭窄的编排路子上~
而Jeff与他之前的合作对象不同的就是戏路宽,各种音乐类型的适应能力都不错,另一方面也让DW跳脱之前比较单一的思维模式,去尝试更多的可能性,DW好象还说过他做编排先得遇到让自己心动的音乐,然后寻找一个skater,"who can see what u see,can feel what u feel"~之所以前面说他们互相成就,应该就是基于这种千里马与伯乐的关系吧 |
