In addition, he wrote and directed plays for SNAP Theatre Company, trained actors at The Italia Conti Academy and lectured at Goldsmiths University.
Phil combined skills he learnt from the performing arts and education, to found The Complete Works Charity & Independent School in 1999, which works creatively with young people who have disengaged from school, to reignite their interest in learning.
