Scientists Dr Alessia Buscaino, Professor Darren Griffin, Dr Neil Kad and Dr Gary Robinson – alongside Professor Charlotte Sleigh of the School of History – explored their scientific passions with poets in the science-poetry slam Experimental Words on 1st November, 20.00 at Canterbury Cathedral Lodge).
Biology met balladry, physics encountered pentameter, and chemistry confronted cadence as Kent’s leading scientists were paired with Canterbury’s finest spokenword artists – and challenged to create new microperformances.
The result? A diverse display of rhyme, rhythm and reason, which celebrated the creative similarities between science and the performing arts.
Hosted by scientific poet and former Canterbury Laureate Dan Simpson and poetry slam-winning scientist Dr. Sam Illingworth, this was an evening of precise delights and unexpected insights.
