A little about Kaleider:

We work with all sorts of people to design, produce and promote live experiences

Kaleider is a studio based in Exeter U.K. We bring people together to make extraordinary live experiences, products and services. We make our own work, produce work, commission new work and provide support for artists to develop, push boundaries and take risks with their ideas.

We host a number of Resident artists, researchers, scientists, creative technologists and young people. Kaleider Residents make up the core of a broader network of people, groups, and businesses with differing backgrounds but with a shared desire to turn and face some of the world’s great challenges. Often the work that comes out of Kaleider is playable, and tries to interrupt people in their everyday contexts.

Kaleider is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation (2015-18) and is funded by Exeter City Council.
