UpStage is a web-based platform for live, collaborative performance, presenting an annual international festival of cyerformance by artists from around the world. The platform is free and open source, and it’s free for you to attend the festival – online, wherever you are. UpStage is currently unfunded, with everything done by dedicated volunteers.

We are now working towards the 11:11:11 UpStage Festival, and we warmly invite you to contribute to our donations campaign. This is to enable us to provide appropriate technical, artistic and organisational support to the wonderful artists whose work has been selected for the festival (click here for more information about the festival and the artists).

If everyone who reads this contributes just 11 [insert your local currency here] we will easily reach our target of NZ$10,000 (that’s about €5000). Whatever amount you are able to donate will make a difference – whether it’s 11, or 111, or more, all donations are gratefully received.

** If you’re a New Zealand tax payer, you can claim a tax rebate on your donation – just ask us for a tax receipt.

Thanking you in anticipation, on behalf of the UpStage community,
