#FriendsFriday 26 - KJ Lawson Mortimer
KJ by Dougie Evans
How are you involved with Casson & Friends?
This summer I will be a part of The Dance WE Made and I'm so excited to be part of such a fantastic project.
What do you love about dance?
I love dance for so many reasons! Mainly because, no matter what age you are or experience you have, absolutely everyone can enjoy themselves through dancing! Moving to music brings laughter, joy and a sense of achievement like no other. Dance builds so many wonderful qualities such as team work and commitment which are transferable to everything in our lives!
What song always makes you dance?
That’s such a tricky one! The first songs that came to me right away were:
P.Y.T - Michael Jackson
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
and Milkshake - Kelis
Listen to the #FriendsFriday playlist on Spotify
What are you working on at the moment?
Unfortunately all holidays are done for now… But I have lots of exciting projects to keep me busy and happy. Currently I'm working with; Casson & Friends on TDWM, as a Street Theatre Performer for Glasshouse Dance in 'Us' & ‘You, Me and Everybody Else', performing for Lîla Dance in ‘The Deluge’, dancing in 'Small Work. Big Book' by Laowai Collab Dance and also working a little with Commotion Dance. After the summer I’ll be starting some R&D with Katie Green. I am currently producing a Dance Graduate Development project “Grad-Lab” and am working on a full summer of events for The Point, Eastleigh with my role as Agent for Dance Excellence. Phew!
