The renowned educationalist and ‘creativity’ champion Sir Ken Robinson is a patron of 5x5x5=creativity. Sir Ken’s TED Talk, “Do schools kill creativity?” is the most watched of all time.
In 2016 5x5x5 commissioned Toby to write a special performance poem which celebrated and communicated the essence of Sir Ken’s message. It was intended primarily as a thank you to Sir Ken for his support, and Toby performed it live to him, via video link to California, during the International Festival of Childhood.
Funded by Arts Council England, 5x5x5 and Sir Ken are promoting the film as a major communication tool in spreading their message.
Please watch it, enjoy it, and most of all share it widely to help them get this vital message out to the world.
"...a wonderful gift for language, a deep sensibility and a penetrating sense of perspective."
