Diverse Abilities

“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure, in spite of overwhelming obstacles”

– Christopher Reeve

Are you looking for an uplifting, transformational experience for a loved one or clients with diverse abilities?

Catering for all ages, we will happily tailor our workshops to suit the specific capabilities and requirements of your group and its individuals to ensure an enriching and rewarding experience.

 

With funding from Arts Queensland, we recently trialled our new Multi-Arts Creative Interventions by employing community artists with diverse abilities…and unique superpowers! We devised and facilitated bespoke workshops, targeting specific needs and challenges, then evaluated participants’ wellbeing outcomes via surveys and interviews. Participants reported increased confidence, pride and self-expression, and a sense of contribution and belonging. These creative interventions are now ready to roll out to your organisation!

Our musicking sessions, offered to clients in mild to moderate care include:

  • Drumming

  • Body percussion

  • Singing

  • Creative brain-hacking activities

  • Dance/movement expression

  • Music joy jams

“A very special thank you to the incredible Liv and Zac, who bring so much joy to our little musical crew every Tuesday. From beating gorgeous handmade drums to developing personalised rhythms using the syllables of our favourite foods to body percussion and singing, you really are creative geniuses with the purest of passions for music and people with all abilities. We absolutely adore you both and can’t get enough of the wild yet humble energy you bring to the world” - Ashleigh Hussey (support worker)
