TOM PEARSON
Tom is a critically-acclaimed, award-winning choreographer, poet, and multimedia artist, known for his original works for dance and theater, including the long-running immersive theater hits Then She Fell and The Grand Paradise, as a founder and co-artistic director of the New York City-based performance company Third Rail Projects, and as director for the Global Performance Studio, a program for cultural listening and exchange.
His performance works have been called “wildly imaginative” by The New Yorker and “haunting, hallucinatory, and profoundly intimate” by VOGUE. Tom’s debut poetry collection, The Sandpiper’s Spell, was heralded by Kirkus Reviews as one of the Best Indie Book of 2019, calling the volume “vastly panoramic and deeply introspective” and proclaiming Tom “a startlingly intuitive new poet—one to watch.”
