About us
Imagine students actively engaged in teams - with their teachers and performing & visual artists - to explore arts techniques including dance, drama, music, movement, role play, circus, mask-making, mosaic, multimedia, painting, puppetry and poetry!
Imagine these teams using these techniques to explore mental health issues in highly creative, problem-solving, solution focused, health promoting ways and having fun at the same time!
Imagine the team in each school inviting parents, family, friends and community members to join in too, and to form the audience for a combined performance and exhibition with other local schools to share and celebrate their diverse artworks and finished performance pieces!
