Wanderful - Inspiration On The Go with Philip Cowell

Philip Cowell is the Creative Development Director of The Good Chance Theatre, which creates productions that tell big stories of hope and humanity, building Dome theatres across the world, working together with refugees and local people and collaborating with a large ensemble of refugee artists to create visionary new art.

Philip is also an established author, curator, creator and poet. In fact… he is the poet-at-large for David Pearl’s social venture, Street Wisdom: a brilliant creator of poems with an uncanny ability to make poems up on the spot.

David caught up with Philip in his new home, Berlin, where he talks about his delight in  ‘not-knowing’… and how this colours his approach to writing poetry. Along the way we discover more about his coming-out as a gay man, why science loves getting it wrong and how we can be okay with that nudge which pushes you in a direction which you feel you have to take... but you just… don’t… know… why.
