Our kaupapa

Let many voices be heard

Training Wheels is here to encourage and develop performers and creators from many walks of life. We want to give you the opportunity to tell your story, and create a more diverse performing arts community in New Zealand as a result.

Help people get past barriers

We aim to create a more comfortable and brave space for you, to bring out your best performance.

If you have health needs, time and energy commitments or other things that would normally make it hard for you to perform, we want to help.

Our scholarship is designed to help creators and performers who might not normally have the resources to afford high-quality training.
