There are as many kinds of interpreters as there are subjects for interpretation. There is no simple prescription, no magic formula for success. A good intepreter leads the audience toward a greater awareness of the subject. An experienced interpreter knows about the values of stillness and silence, knows how to listen and reflect, and how to draw knowledge from awareness and understanding from knowledge. An intepreter works to involve the audience and to help them see things for themselves.
Good interpreters know when to give an answer and when to ask a question.
They know when to provoke and by how much. They know the secret of creating a stimulating challenge. A confident interpreter loves coming to that place of not knowing. This is where real exploration begins. An accomplished interpreter knows how to welcome and share that hunger for the unknown with the audience.
