Natalie Wright (Wright Performance) and Elise Rohde (Rohde To Stage Vocal Studio) sat down one day and discussed the lack of performance opportunities and training for youth and adults in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. ​With a passion for working with all ages to find their confidence and passion for the arts through one on one lessons, it made sense to get together and create new opportunities in the Bay.

Wright Rohde is a home, a safe space to be brave for performers of all ages and experience levels; working with industry professionals to collaborate and push the boundaries to achieve their performance goals.
