UpStage community
Many artists from UpStage’s global community have contributed to the testing and development of UpStage during this project period and over the years, which has served to support and sustain the project. These artists include Petyr Veenstra, Miljana Peric, Christina Papagiannouli, Suzon Fuks, James Cunningham, Katarina Djordjevic, Clara Gomes, Karla Ptáček, Leena Saarinen and Martin Eisenbarth. Without the generous and imaginative contributions of these and many other individuals, UpStage would not be what it is today.
Thank you!
