Later I set up my own business called ‘Yum Yum Total Entertainment 4 Kids’ and was sponsored by the Federal Government to develop and perform Educational shows.
Just before leaving Australia I out grew Yum Yum the Clown, developed the character of
‘Dr Klutz’ and shows in clowning, mime, puppetry, magic and storytelling.
I have performed these shows around Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Europe as well as for the most prominent business corporations and Embassies, and have participated in many of the major festivals.
Finally I settled down in the Czech Republic where I started a family life with my wife and child.
I now travel extensively throughout the Czech Rep. and abroad performing English Educational Shows to tens of thousands of children and have been doing so both in Australia and Europe since 1994.
I love my work and desire to share this with others by teaching teachers the value of using the Performing Arts in the classroom and through my seminars & workshops so all may be touched and influenced through this effective, powerful and wonderful magical medium.
It is a gift I desire to bestow upon others!

To introduce the valuable use of the performing arts and integrate this into the English Language Teaching (ELT) curriculum.
To make the learning process more enjoyable, effective and fun through this interactive and holistic form of learning.
To focus on the individual’s capacity for creative self-expression and encourage group spirit. This will emerge naturally and spontaneously throughout the seminar/workshop in order to achieve one’s own purpose and to contribute to their personal and group development by enhance both their communicational skills and creativity on all levels.
The practical teaching methods and techniques used in ELT such as mime & mask, movement & music, story-telling, puppetry, clowning and magic are to motivate and improve the relationships of students of all ages from the children’s classroom, teachers’ conferences to the office staff down to presentations in the business boardroom, in the theatre and on the street.

If this quote is true then let’s nurture them into full health, both body & mind and soul.
