Discover Spiral’s inclusive creative workshops for people with disability on the Sunshine Coast. From Visual Arts and Performing Arts to Music, Dance, and Garden to Plate – our programs build skills, confidence and community connection in a welcoming, supportive environment.
Spiral’s workshops and Creative Program enable self-expression, build skills, and encourage community engagement. Our workshops reflect the Sunshine Coast’s diverse cultural life – we connect with professional partner organisations to achieve your personal goals, making Spiral a leader in vibrant, accessible arts in the region.
Our programs include Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Music, Dance, and our Garden to Plate cooking workshop – all designed for people of all abilities and skill levels.
Ten workshops across arts, performance, life skills and community connection. Each workshop is designed to be engaging, inclusive, and tailored to support individual goals and interests.
From painting and drawing to printmaking and mixed media, our visual arts workshops celebrate creative freedom and individual expression. Participants develop their own unique style in a fully equipped professional art studio, with opportunities to exhibit work in the community.
Theatre, music and dance come together in a collaborative creative journey. Participants lead the development process, building acting, vocal and movement skills, before performing in a major theatrical production each year in a mainstream theatre.
Play and create music in a friendly, inclusive environment with expert musician tutors. Participants sing, learn instruments, write original songs and perform live - with opportunities to connect and collaborate across Spiral's wider creative programs.
Experience choreography and performance as part of a dynamic, inclusive dance company. Participants contribute their own creative ideas, learn a variety of styles and movement skills, and work towards an end-of-year performance that celebrates every person's contribution.
From growing seasonal produce in Spiral's accessible gardens to cooking nutritious meals in a commercial kitchen, this hands-on workshop builds real cooking, horticultural and life skills - including budgeting, shopping and healthy eating habits.
Build confidence in the kitchen while learning practical skills that make a real difference in everyday life. Participants plan and prepare healthy, affordable meals together, explore budgeting and grocery shopping, and develop greater independence - all in a relaxed and social environment.
Transform recycled and repurposed materials into one-of-a-kind fashion pieces through sewing, design and creativity. Participants develop practical making skills, experiment with colour and texture, and collaborate with others to bring their designs to life - building self-expression and confidence along the way.
Build the skills and confidence needed to take the next step toward employment and greater independence. Get Ahead covers practical workplace readiness - communication, goal setting, navigating everyday situations and understanding what employers look for, all in a supportive group setting.
Explore the connection between healthy choices, movement and community in a welcoming group environment. Participants take part in hands-on cooking sessions, gentle movement activities and conversations about wellbeing - developing positive habits and meaningful connections with others.
Turn a creative idea into something real. Participants explore the basics of running a small business - designing and making products, understanding pricing and presentation, and discovering how to connect with customers, building entrepreneurial thinking and practical skills along the way.
Spiral’s visual arts workshops focus on creative freedom and active learning. Present skills are identified and developed into future skills through exploring individual interests and mediums. Suitable for all skill levels, the safe creative space encourages optimum learning and growth for every participant.
The Performing Arts workshops are so much more than the outcome – it’s the journey participants embark on together throughout the year. Participants lead the development process and our facilitators ensure everyone is heard throughout the production.
The Spiral music program brings people of all abilities together to enjoy playing and creating music in a friendly and fun environment. Participants are encouraged to pick their favourite songs to sing and play with the group, and connect with Spiral’s wider creative community.
Shooting Stars is a programme where you will experience both choreography and performance as part of a team. Participants have creative input and choreograph dances and performances, working towards an end-of-year show that celebrates every person’s contribution.
Kitchen Garden to Plate teaches basic horticultural and cooking skills in a hands-on environment. Participants choose healthy options to cook whilst developing practical life skills – budgeting, shopping, and general kitchen practices – using Spiral’s accessible vegetable gardens and commercial kitchen.
