JUST KIDDING is a tailor made creative arts program that I have designed to cater for primary school children. This unique program combines drama, music, art, dance and puppeteering.

All these art forms encourage children to be creative, to express their emotions, stimulate their imagination and build up such valuable skills as self-confidence, effective communication, playful interaction and respectfulness.

I fully believe that encouraging children to think for themselves, to find their own creative solutions in a world so often full of passive aggressive entertainment is vital. I provide a safe and inspiring learning environment. The JUST KIDDING program provides tools for children to grow up into responsible, loving adults being fully self expressed and happy with their lives.

JUST KIDDING is an eight - week program, run after school hours at the Kalamunda Performings Arts Centre on Mondays and Thursdays. The first course starts Monday 6th May 2002 at 4.15 pm. For the younger children (5 -7 year olds) each session is 45 minutes. For children aged 8 to 10 years the course starts on Thursday 9th May 2002 at 5.30 pm. The session last for 1 to 1.5 hours depending on group size. Each child will receive the official JUST KIDDING program certificate.

JUST KIDDING is absolutely fun, entertaining and highly beneficial for all children.
