Background:
Central to Spiral Q�s work is a vision of people from all around the city parading in their own neighborhoods with art and puppets made by them about their lives today. Spiral Q works in collaboration with dozens of community groups and agencies to bring giant puppet parades and park pageants to neighborhoods all over the city. At the end of a season of smaller neighborhood parades, these groups all come together as �delegates� from their own neighborhoods to participate in an emerging Urban Arts Democracy celebrating life in Philadelphia - PEOPLEHOOD.
