Background:
Spiral Q Puppet Theater seeks to mobilize communities, empower working
people and illuminate the victories, frustrations and possibilities of
living in the neighborhoods of Philadelphia and similar urban settings
through the construction of full-scale giant puppet parades, toy theater and
neighborhood park pageantry.
Through its puppet parades and pageants, Spiral Q is resurrecting and
reclaiming an almost forgotten form of people�s theater to amplify and unite
the power and vitality of those working for change through art-making,
protest, and civic theater. 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.
