What’s Next With Lamar Johnson

A man talking to the camera

The actor, dancer and Soho House Toronto member shares 27 of his favourite things

‘My 27 questions showcase who I am and what is important to me. I want to push the boundaries of what I think is possible. I’m constantly in pursuit of new information and finding new forms of expression. 

‘I see dance (my first passion) and acting (a new one) as extensions of my creative self. I’ve made a lot of tough decisions to get to a place where I can live my dreams. Life is full of them, and I intend to step into each one with grace.’
