SEA-TEAM Social Enrichment through the Arts - with Therapists, Educators, Artists, Musicians

SEA-TEAM is a platform for Therapists, Educators, Artists, and Musicians to share an interest in Social Enrichment through the Arts. The idea is to support people's creative collaboration across disciplinary borders. This allows us to problem-solve complex issues in our local area at the Brisbane Bayside and have fun. 


The purpose is to support health and well-being of local people and the environment. The social setting is community-cultural facilities that welcome the public and are designed for participating in group activities. 

The program is tailored to meet goals identified by community members as important. The initiative supports community-led bridge making--connecting services and people who do not normally meet. 

Looking for people with diverse interests and skills--for further conversations to get to know one another and plan activities for the future. The zone is alcohol free and inclusive of all abilities--because everyone is a musician. Everyone is an artist. 

Interest areas:

1. Art that reflects or uses natural materials found in the local area.

2. Drumming Circle--learning about rhythm, drumming, and working together. 

3. Puppets--designing, making, and performing with puppets to express emotions/tell stories.

4. Ukulele--use your own uke in a group setting, to explore music-making together.

Please contact me if you would like to explore Social Interaction through Arts with your Educational Program; in Galleries Libraries, Archives, and Museums; or through Community-based Rehabilitation.

Looking back, I am developing a list of ideas that work well for therapists as we begin the new school year in 2025. This may inform the development of ad hoc therapy support services in schools.      Occupational Therapist   (CC Attribution)                                   Petrie Tce State School--1970  By 'ad hoc,' I mean therapy services provided indirectly to school students in schools--by a range of parent-controlled and community service groups.
