Kaleidoscope Performing Arts School

Our top priority is to raise the last 10% of this year's lease payment. After a lot of hard work we only have $4,000 to go and your donation can make all the difference.

Kaleidoscope was founded on Waiheke Island in 1994 by Kathy Hollo, beginning with a handful of participants. Now there are over 130, ranging in age from 4 to 94, and we want to secure the roof over their heads. 

Kaleidoscope, as a group, enhances the wellbeing of the Waiheke community through the performing arts and fitness. Our purpose is to provide an environment  where students of all ages and abilities are able to experience all aspects of performance in a non-competitive, non-political, fun environment. We do this by exposing students to professional performers, highly skilled teachers and health professionals that encourage them to move outside their comfort zone.

We also want to help the general public by providing them affordable, family entertainment of a professional standard on a regular basis. 

No donation is too great or small, and every donation over $5 qualifies for a 33% tax credit. So please donate today, hit that big red button, and keep us in our Waiheke home. 

* Any funds we raise over and above our aim will be put towards our vision for 2016. We want to create a second space within the Shed, allowing us to branch out and offer more, diverse opportunities to the public and enabling us to become sustainable. The cost of this renovation is approximately $3750, in addition we desperately need at least 2 crash pads (approx $2200 each) and one acrobatic mat (approx $2300).
