What are you reading?
Solace by Belinda Mc Keown

Last film you saw and your verdict?
To Rome With Love by Woody Allen – loved it, particularly his personification of a egomanic avant garde opera director.

You have a golden ticket to Easons, what magazine is first on your list?
The New Yorker – great, sharp, intelligent, worldly writing and makes me feel I’m in New York, my favorite city

What are your most clicked bookmarks?
Facebook, Twitter, The Irish Times, Dance Ireland, Irish Modern Dance Theatre, Learnist, YouTube, Vimeo, Dublin Theatre Festival

Do you have a favourite podcast or radio programme?
I love listening to Marian Finucane on RTE 1 on weekends and John Murray show every morning

When you fall into a YouTube hole what’s the general subject matter of the videos you’re watching?
Always dance.

What track should we listen to right now?
Actually, I’m listening to an operatic aria from ‘Fidelio’ by Beethoven: ‘Gott! Welch dunkel hier’ (I’m also an opera singer). Next track on ipod is Jay-Z ’99 problems’

Which boxset/TV series do you have on the go at the moment?
Dr Who, closely followed by The Judy Garland Show from the 1960’s.

Last gig/concert you went to and your verdict?
Justin Vivian Bond – New York’s contemporary cross between David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull – in Joe’s Pub, New York. Verdict – SUBLIME

Which app do you use the most?
‘What’s App’ to send messages and pictures to friends and colleagues, and Twitter (I’m @johnscottdance by the way)
