Stretch Goal Message
Wow! The biggest thank you to all of the incredibly generous donors for your backing and support! We cannot express in words the gratitude we have for your generosity. You have enabled us to take on Edinburgh head first, with resilience and resource, ensuring we can take off from Aotearoa with pride...
Edinburgh Fringe is a resource-heavy opportunity, requiring financial support across various avenues. With a month-long season's worth of accommodations, travel halfway across the world, fluctuating exchange rates, and a need for marketing that can rival the efforts of the 8,000 competing shows, costs can add up exponentially. Our initial campaign was to get us off the ground successfully, and our stretch goal will enable us to thrive and take the festival by storm. Your support and backing will help cover:
· Artists' fees and wages for our team of 6 world-class artists
· Marketing and advertising costs to ensure we reach our audiences
· Travel and health insurance, protecting our team from the risks of touring abroad
Thank you again to everyone who has joined the kaupapa of 'The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave' through supporting our Boosted. As our whānau expands, so does our ability to share our art with the world!

Overview
After sold-out seasons across New Zealand and Australia, the award-winning ‘The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave’, goes global as they travel to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 to perform an epic 23 show season.
With invitation and programming from the prestigious Summerhall, the work was the inaugural winners of the ‘PANNZ - Edinburgh Fringe Festival Summerhall Award’ at PANNZ Arts Market 2024, which sees PANNZ, Summerhall, and Aurora Nova team up to assist the team presenting at the festival.
We now turn to our friends, whānau, community, and fellow ravers to help raise the remaining funds needed to achieve our tour.
