Sir Ken Robinson and Robert Cohan, The Cohan Lecture, The Place (2015)

The Place’s Cohan Lecture holds up for question the simple provocation ‘What Matters?’ It seeks to encourage a creative and intelligent debate and uncover a very personal response to this question from some of the most influential and creative minds of our time.

The new Cohan Lecture series was launched on 11 June 2015, at The Place in honour of Robert Cohan CBE, who celebrated his 90th Birthday in March 2015.

Each year The Cohan Lecture will be given by a different person, as a platform to some of the most creative thinkers from all sort of disciplines and schools of thought. In this, its inaugural year, The Cohan Lecture was given by the man after whom it is named, Robert Cohan, in conversation with Place Patron Sir Ken Robinson.

Robert Cohan is the Founding Artistic Director of The Place. He has been instrumental in changing the map of dance in the UK, and it is no coincidence that he is frequently revered as the founding father of British contemporary dance.
