#FriendsFriday 65 - Tom O'Gorman

Tom O’Gorman

How have you been involved with Casson & Friends?

I have just joined the cast of PREPPERS, a really insightful work that has been such a joy to learn and begin to perform. Also will be a part of The Dance WE Made team in a few locations.

What do you love about dance? 

I always find this question hard, there is just such a variety of answers I can give that are ever changing. Dance for me couples an extreme physical demand with a totally unbounded level of creative thought, the possibilities to explore, create and do always brings me such satisfaction. I feel as though through dance you can really understand and explore one’s self, better understand the world around you and find a beautiful connection with your mind and body.

What song always makes you dance?

I have a playlist for ever occasion, but at the moment, Cryptic Love by IYAMAH - or anything by Lauryn Hill - Listen to the #FriendsFriday playlist on Spotify

What else are you working on at the moment?

I am really interested in developing my own research, which explores how scores can be used to elicit and expand movement vocabulary. I do have a holiday booked with my awesome housemate Alabama, I'm hijacking their family holiday and becoming the fun uncle.
