Rosetta Life is an arts in health innovation charity. We co-design projects that act as catalysts for change in health and social care. Our performances transform perceptions of illness and build inclusive communities.

Participants find voice and re-discover balance in lives knocked sideways by illness. They regain self-esteem and learn how to manage the anxiety and depression that illness so often brings with it.

Our co-creation practice encourages the creative input of our participants who become co-authors of their work, which is often drawn from their own experiences. Evidence suggests this process develops confidence and agency, conferring meaning on lives de-centred by illness.
