Paul Hindle

Paul Hindle is a dedicated advocate for the arts and social justice, with a diverse background spanning both sides of the prison walls. During his four-year tenure as the Chair of William Head on Stage (WHoS), a prisoner-run non-profit society in BC, Paul played a pivotal role in supporting incarcerated artists. Upon his release from prison, Paul seamlessly transitioned into the outside arts community, joining the Full Spectrum Arts Society.

With Full Spectrum, Paul continued his commitment to WHoS, providing invaluable expertise in production management and media relations. Currently serving as the Vice Chair on the Full Spectrum Board of Directors, Paul is enthusiastic about collaborating on upcoming productions that bridge the gap between professional 'outside artists' and his fellow incarcerated artists at WHoS.

Paul's artistic contributions are vast, having performed in WHoS's "Crossroads" in 2018 and served as the Production Manager for acclaimed projects such as the short film series "Common Threads" and "Beneath the Mask," as well as the 40th anniversary celebration production, "The Prison Theatre Time Machine."

In addition to his passion for the arts, Paul works as a Mental Health and Addictions Worker in harm reduction and justice system advocacy and navigation. Paul focuses mainly, on supporting the homeless population in Victoria as well as individuals, along with their families, that are currently incarcerated or bumping up against the system in a variety of ways. Through his diverse experiences and unwavering dedication, Paul Hindle continues to make a profound impact in the arts community and beyond.
