Creative Works
Through my position at Queensland Ballet I participated in the creation, planning, delivery and facilitation of many programs, for populations such as children under 5-years, individuals over the age of 60-years, individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, and those living in rural and remote areas. However, my most detailed contribution was the development of the Limitless Leaps program in association with Deakin University. This program was specifically designed to be inclusive and accessible for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
