Spiral+Q+Puppet+Theater

Reflection #2

Founded in 1996 by the Celebratory Street Theater, The Spiral Q Youth Puppet Theater is a youth program geared to the popular arts built around urban arts. They depict democracy through parades, articles and commonly through puppetry. Spiral Q also use recycled and reclaimed materials. The Youth Puppet Theater also collaborates with local organizations in Philadelphia to plan social and public art gatherings and creations supporting the creative community. Spiral Q is considered a recognized nationally program that stress creativeness and originality. The Spiral Q Youth puppet Theater has been inspiring all ages and backgrounds to be creative and to revitalize the city of Philadelphia from the inside out.

 The Spiral Q Theater was honored with many educational awards and has been funded by th National Endowment for the Arts for several years. Also due to the programs positive efforts through the many years the program has been the prime example of a “highly regarded and successful art organization” as quoted by Michael Nutter the Mayor of Philadelphia. Spiral Q is building a strong creative community with the vision of a city reflecting its resident’s creativity and to overcome the challenges of discrimination by using art to connect communities to each other to cultivate mutual respect and shared purposes

I feel like this programs initiative is on point with today's society. Everyone wants to be unique in creative in my eyes and what way to bring a community together than learning from one another’s personal creativity using art. Philadelphia is a beautiful place and we can make it better if we all gain a mutual respect fo on another. This program is to me a revolutionary program that starts at the root The children and works it was to the adults, leaders and even society. The Arts in Philadelphia are a major attraction and helps the city become a better place. Me as a student feel in love with the artsy uniqueness of the atmosphere in this city and programs like this are a big part of that.
