Episode 22, ACT 2: Mindy A. Early - Holding Space for Processing and Magic

National Arts Education Week may be over, however we continue the celebration with a brand new episode for you! In this episode, Courtney sits down for a chat with theater artist, author, and educator Mindy A. Early (Mindy A. Early, Writer). 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? We're excited to announce that we've recently partnered with Blick Art Materials. To begin this episode, Teaching Artistry podsquad introduces local Outreach Manager representing the New York City Blick Art Materials sites, and three-dimensional multimedia artist, Pata Llano! Just how is Blick supporting, showcasing, empowering and making a positive impact on local artists? You'll have to listen to find out!
