Episode 22, ACT 1: Mindy A. Early - Holding Space for Processing and Magic

It's National Arts Education Week (September 8-14)! And to celebrate, we've got a brand new episode for you! Courtney sits down for a chat with theater artist, author, and educator Mindy A. Early. In their conversation, they discuss some intriguing philosophical questions around arts education including: What is it like to bring arts education to a classroom of kids? and How does teaching kids differ from teaching adults, specifically in a professional development setting? These questions lead to other interesting topics and questions such as approaches to trauma-informed teaching and What are safe boundaries for teaching artists and their audience when teaching people who have experienced trauma? This one is worth a listen, folx! That's not all! We're excited to announce that we've recently partnered with the Association of Teaching Artists (ATA). At this year's ATA Awards Ceremony, the TA podsquad caught up with attendees, all of them NYC-based artists, arts practitioners and educators, to chat about their journey through Teaching Artistry! What sage advice did some of them have for aspiring or growing Teaching Artists? You'll have to listen to find out!
