Philosophy
At Spiral Q, we believe that youth development and artistic expression go hand in hand. Our staff and teaching artists aim to support youth as confident and creative individuals who are proud of who they are and where they come from. Our award- winning education programming encourages students and youth to imagine, and to think creatively and critically about the world around them. Youth are inspired to develop a new understanding of their culture, their neighborhood, and their community. The Spiral Q classroom becomes a lab for change they want to see in the world, and they start to understand their capacity to make that change occur.
 
Drop in programs
These one time artist visits or puppet presentations are a unique way to introduce puppetry as an exciting, important tool for social change and creative expression. For more information on scheduling a drop-in program for an assembly, activity, or other appearance please email spiralq@spiralq.org
