We are deeply saddened at the RAD to learn that the hugely influential and innovative Benjamin Zephaniah has died aged 65 after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
In 2022, Benjamin was featured in the RAD podcast, Why Dance Matters, speaking about his work with Rambert on their acclaimed stage production based on the Peaky Blinders TV show in which he was a regular character.
In tribute, we are re-sharing his memorable podcast interview here where he speaks on the way that creativity can change a life.
