WHO IS BALANCING ACT?

Balancing Act is a collective led by Prue Walker (social worker) and Patrick Pierce (Pierce Brothers) who came together with an idea -  to connect musicians and other artists who can’t perform, with children and young people with disability who can’t access their normal supports. We see an opportunity to use online platforms to bring these two groups together to  connect and create.
