How are you involved with Casson & Friends?

I created a dance show with Casson & Friends and it was the best fun! I used to be an audio describer, which means I described TV and film for visually impaired people. The idea for the show started with audio describing dance and the difficulties of translating dance into words, and went from there!

What do you love about dance?

I love that dancing is a different way to express yourself that isn't words! I also think it is an intrinsically pleasurable thing to do. When nobody is watching. When somebody is watching. When everybody is watching! In the words of David Bowie, let's dance. 

What song always makes you dance?

Oooh, I want to say something super cool but the honest answer is probably Mr Brightside by The Killers.

What else are you working on at the moment? 

I'm writing a web series and I perform in too many improv troupes. 

You can find Alice on Twitter  and read some of the awesome things she's written here!
