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.
