Enhance Quick Thinking: Developing the ability to adapt to new situations and solve problems creatively.
Boost Teamwork: Mastering the “Yes, And” rule—listening to others and building on their ideas.
Overcome Fear of Failure: Understanding that there are no “mistakes” in impro, only new opportunities!

Christine de Grancy's 'A Day with David' | Joondalup Festival 2026
2026-02-20 10:00 - 16:00 | Joondalup Contemporary Art Gallery, 102 Boas Avenue, Joondalup, WA, 6027, Australia
A rare, intimate encounter captured between a music icon and artists in a psychiatric clinic — shown for the first time in WA.
What happens when one of the world’s most iconic artists steps away from the spotlight to spend a quiet day with outsider artists in a psychiatric clinic? Photographer Christine de Grancy was there to capture it, and now, for the first time in Western Australia, we’re bringing these extraordinary images to Joondalup.

On 8 September 1994, David Bowie, accompanied by Brian Eno, André Heller and photographer Christine de Grancy, entered the grounds of the Gugging Psychiatric Clinic near Vienna. This wasn’t a casual photo opportunity. Bowie’s own family history included his half-brother Terry Burns, whose schizophrenia and tragic suicide haunted Bowie’s life and work. At Gugging, he encountered something profound: a community of Art Brut creators, patients who had become internationally recognised artists, including Oswald Tschirtner, Johann Hauser, Johann Garber and August Walla.

DeGrancy captured four rolls of film that day, revealing Bowie absorbed, humble and intent on listening, sketching, sharing coffee and engaging with artists’ stories. This rare, intimate perspective coincided with Bowie’s creative reconnection with Brian Eno, inspiring the iconic 1. Outside album (1995).

Thirty years later, these photographs stand as both cultural history and intimate artistic encounter, a rare glimpse into Bowie’s search for meaning, authenticity and connection beyond the stage.

Presented in collaboration with Santa Monica Art Museum, this exhibition transforms the gallery into a reflective space on creativity, mental health and the power of art to connect worlds. Whether you’re a lifelong Bowie devotee or simply curious about the man behind the legend, this exhibition offers an unprecedented window into a transformative moment in music history.

Bonus family Sundays
Every Sunday during Joondalup Festival (8 March, 15 March and 22 March) we’re hosting FREE drop-in arts and crafts activities for kids, including:

Ziggy Stardust facepainting

Singing Mamas
2026-02-20 10:30 - 12:00 | Armadale District Hall, Cnr Jull Street & Church Avenue, Armadale, WA, 6112, Australia
This event is FREE and proudly sponsored by the City of Armadale. This program runs weekly in the school term.
Singing Mamas is a worldwide grassroots movement designed to bring women together through the simple joy of singing. Founded to support women’s wellbeing, Singing Mamas creates a space where everyone is welcome — no auditions, no sheet music, and no musical experience required. Songs are taught by ear in an inclusive circle, making it easy for anyone to join in.
The benefits go far beyond singing: research shows group singing can reduce stress, lift mood, and strengthen connection with others. Babies and children are always welcome, so mums don’t need to worry about childcare.
In Perth, Singing Mamas is led by Nicole George, who runs groups in Armadale, Wellard and Gosnells. Each session blends singing with time for tea, coffee, and conversation, offering both joy and community. Women of all ages and life stages are invited to come along — whether you sing loudly, softly, or simply listen — and experience the warmth and connection of Singing Mamas.
