As a professional socially engaged multi-disciplinary artist and creative facilitator I am always excited about opportunities and commissions to work with community engagement, marginalised groups, sharing stories, and straddling cultures.
Please contact me to chat about anything that I can bring my energy, compassion and creativity to.
”Michelle was great at connecting and talking to people from all different backgrounds in the community. She really got stuck in and wasn’t scared, and I could really see Newtown (which is a notoriously hard to reach community) warm to her – this opened up people’s minds into thinking about participating in Arts – a massive success.”

THE CREATIVE PLAYSHOP RETREAT
A creative journey to you being more you. A chance to get silly, to get creative, to deeply appreciate all of you, and check in on where you’re at, and where you want to go…growing and flexing those creative muscles.
Through creative play we explore our inner critic voice, our unmet needs and desires, we appreciate and re-connect to our amazing bodies, hold ourselves accountable, and unlock our innate creativity.
Creative Playshops is a space to build and flex your creative muscles, to be led, through task based creative activities, missions, and games, to play and create without expectation, to be inspired, to gently explore your own creativity, as well as a safe space to challenge yourself, to let go, and be present. It is an opportunity for self-care, self-awareness, growth and confidence building.
Run by Michelle Roche and Nadia Sibany founders of WeRebel.
