梁菲 (Faye Leung) - 芭蕾舞家, 前香港芭蕾舞團高級首席舞蹈員

Since I have learnt jazz funk and hip hop for a couple of years, In 2006, I was attracted and watched a documentary called《華人青年演藝家》produced by RTHK. There is a interview for Faye.

《華人青年演藝家》

09/17/2006 好動的姑娘
或堅毅，或熱愛，或犧牲，總需要一種火藥引去引爆演藝家的天才。

「我很喜歡在台上哭。」=>(投入) 對香港芭蕾舞團首席舞蹈員梁菲來說，置身舞台上，就好像盲了一樣，完全看不到四周，完全投入到角色裡面。「好像《蘇絲黃》中講述阿Jack離開我，媽媽生又逼我離去，我就很傷心地就哭了出來。」對於梁菲來說，芭蕾舞並非只有技巧，更重要的是如何表現情感。

　但台上愛哭的她，其實台下卻相當堅強。今晚香港電台電視部製作的《華人青年演藝家系列》的主角梁菲，即使兩度受傷，仍表現出不一樣的倔強。

　洋名Faye的梁菲生於上海，畢業於上海芭蕾舞學校，曾於國內獲獎，1996年加入港芭， 01年升為首席。「她剛來時才十七歲，很有才華，每個人也知道她終有一天會成大明星的。」港芭前任藝術總監謝傑斐表示。

　有才華，個性不積極也是枉然的，98年有份演出《天鵝湖》，全靠梁菲自己主動爭取，更開拓了其後的演出機會。她的男朋友Ben稱她也是一個追求完美的人︰「做得差少少，她也會發脾氣。」做男朋友該怎樣應對﹖「別理她啦，給她一個人發藝術家脾氣就可以，幾個小時後，或是第二天就沒事了。」還有，原來梁菲一發脾氣時，就不接電話。她媽媽說︰「氣死我了。」一旁的梁菲就自辯︰「都說電話是用來傳真的。」果然是藝術家。

　正如運動員一樣，對舞蹈員來說，最易遇到，但又最不想遇到就是受傷。4月採訪之時，她腳部受傷，梁菲正在家休息。鏡頭前，她大方給觀眾看看她的腳趾，給大家上一節生物課︰「跳舞的人腳趾好肉酸，骨也是斜的及大的，因為我的腳要整天穿著舞鞋，尖著腳跳，所以弄斜了。」她的治療師則補充，舞蹈對腳的的壓力太大，所以很易受傷，梁菲的腳趾公位就裂了。

　「最痛苦的，是看見別人可以跳，但自己不能。」所以梁菲有時寧願不回排練室。「別人認為我還挺開心，其實心裡很不舒服。」

　幸好，梁菲很快就康復過來，可是7月，梁菲再次受傷。「跳落地，聽到聲音，就知道弄傷舊患了。」診斷的結果是骨裂的地方伸延至另一條骨骼。梁菲對我們說：她每天都動一下，才感到舒服。曾說過跳舞就像吃飯一樣重要的梁菲，刻下仍要接受物理治療。

「但我一定捱下去。」梁菲說。

Faye Leung’s statements

Life is a dance, from one stage to the next.

It is not the movements that make a dance beautiful, it is the emotions that inspired the movements that make a dance beautiful.

未來是由無數的一瞬所組成，過程中會遇上挫折與失敗，但我仍鴛蛾然咬緊牙關，堅持自己的夢想，為的就是站有舞台上享受觀眾掌聲的那一瞬，組成璀璨的未來。

My farewell

i have been really busy working on my farewell performance for the last 6 weeks , finally finished last show last night , it was really good show and really emotional too. me and my dance partner Nobuo Fujino ,both cried on stage at the last part .

Me and Nobuo have been worked together for so long, and lucky for us can perform together for the last time.

I left the HK ballet company 6 month ago and wasn’t sure i can still perform this time after so long break that i had , but i was lucky , had a lot friends helped me on this , they are really my good friends, never give up on me .i was so touched by them . my shows won’t be successful without them.

The end of the show, when the curtains up, i heard voices from the auditorium , saw a lot ppl were standing there shouting ' Bravo' and my name " Faye " , and some of company dancers were start crying at the side stage already, and me , still holding my last post with partner , didn’t wanna let go that time , were scared if i left go then everything would be gone forever . i was touched . All the memories from last 13 years , it came back , the day when i joined the company and the day when i first performed principal role with HK ballet . it was really good memories but sad .

After the show, i needed to pack all my staff to leave the building, when i step outside the HKCC, there are lot friends and fans still there waiting , it took me nearly 30mins to leave the place i worked for 13 years .

I just want to thank you to all of you , never give up on me and support me all these time . Now is the day for me to step off the ballet stage i love for so long , to move on to my new life . still not sure what it would be ,but I’m not going to give up , really wish can see you all somewhere and perform for all of you again soon...

Love
Faye
