Paul’s work focuses on evaluating the impact of dance and movement interventions in educational, health and community settings, particularly those supporting wellbeing, engagement, and social development. He uses mixed-methods approaches including pre/post surveys, open-text prompts, and observational data, often drawing on tools like Arts Council England’s Impact & Insight Toolkit.
Paul can work in both an action research (practitioner researcher) model or a linear evaluation model. Recent projects include a post-COVID intervention combining therapy dogs with movement sessions to support adolescent mental health, and a dance-based public engagement project exploring computing concepts through classical ballet.
