Jane Ball

Jane Ball is a social worker, artist, parent, children’s yoga instructor, and creative collaborator. She spent the early years of her career assisting survivors of domestic violence and their children, in navigating systems that did not serve them. She has worked in multiple communities to organize youth, engage in creative resistance, counsel folks in crisis, and advocate for children with disabilities. Jane regularly uses art and movement as mediums to engage in self-reflection and explore challenging questions, with young people. This work has inspired her to explore a multitude of possibilities, what-ifs, opportunities, and alternatives to the many inequitable and destructive systems folks will encounter during their lifetime. She remains hopeful.
