Spiral Q does much more than the parades and puppets that have become our hallmark. We work in schools, parks, universities, community centers, libraries, day cares, medical and health service facilities, and streets throughout Philadelphia with a wide variety of students, teachers, artists, community organizers, health service providers, activists and other neighborhood residents. We lead workshops, community planning processes and meetings, produce exhibitions, engage in ground-breaking research, provide technical support to activist and community groups, and have developed an award-winning education program. Spiral Q works across a variety of artistic disciplines (including printing and silk screening, three-dimensional art and sculpture, drawing, painting, theater, music, spoken word, and street theater) and often combine several art forms in our productions and presentations. Our primary work is focused in the areas of youth development, working with communities, training and leadership development on both student and professional levels, and exhibitions and public engagements. |
