Arts Participation
Vanessa Earl
The freedom to create using different forms of story-telling
Vanessa’s practice is people led, socially engaged, who’s purpose it is to create change. Change in people, and therefore community and society. Her work incubates tiny shifts in awareness of self, others, and our relationships. This purpose plays out through her behaviour coaching and arts participation projects.

won the Bradbury Prize for Drama for this work.
