About
Here at Helter Skelter Arts we are passionate about our work and about our company, always striving to ensure that every event flows effortlessly from start to finish.
The two founders, Helena and Tor, have performed together from a young age, and so creating a company together was a very natural progression. It has been an exciting journey all the way along. We feel incredibly lucky to have this wonderful platform to create and deliver our acts from, and feel very privilaged getting to work with so many other fabulous performers and creatives – people who share our passion and imagination, and who delight in making memorable events, time after time.
For us, it is all about the magic. About making a difference to someone’s day, and leaving lasting impressions and memories that can be treasured for years to come.

Our Values
Joy Centric
We are passionate about the world of entertainment, and want everything we do to bring joy and happiness to both ourselves and to everyone we meet.
Memorable
We want to be a part of those core memories. The heat on your face during a wedding fire show. The pop of a bubble on your nose at a summer carnival. The rosy cheeks in a photo with a Christmas elf. We want to create impressions that matter.
Loyal
We want to foster long-lasting connections with both performers and clients, with a focus on trust, respect and honesty. Whether it be repeat community events, annual corporate parties or private family milestones, we want to be there over the years.
Easy Peasy
From that first initial conversation to everything going smoothly on the day, we want the adventure of booking with us to be as easy, enjoyable and transparent as possible. Entertainment is fun! So why can’t the act of booking it be too?
