Our People
Our Founders
Bedazzle Arts was founded by actor Diane Janssen and art director Phil Janssen in 2006, with a shared belief that young people and adults with additional needs should have access to ambitious, high-quality arts and education opportunities. Drawing on their own experience in the creative industries, they built a provision where additional needs were never a barrier to creativity, confidence or achievement.
Today, Bedazzle brings together specialist education, performing arts training, community opportunities, inclusive production opportunities and charitable support across the wider Bedazzle family.
“Bedazzle was built to unlock potential through creativity — meeting every person without assumptions, labels or limits, and helping them go further than anyone expects.”
