Our newest episode, Episode 69: "Building Intentional Queer Spaces,” features Adam Odsess-Rubin, whose many roles include Founding Artistic Director of National Queer Theater (NQT). In their conversation, Adam offers a glimpse into NQT’s programs, including DREAMing Out Loud; Write it Out!; and Staging Pride Queer Youth Theater, a program that offers free acting classes for Queer and Trans youth that culminates in devising original works. At the heart of these programs, Adam notes, is Queer activism through community-engaged arts programming. The heart of this thoughtful conversation shines when Adam states, “I’m looking for community,” he says and continues by reflecting, “I’m that queer artist that needed a home.” Their conversation continues as they discuss: creating supportive spaces for Queer youth to be creative and build community; how, within current systems, administrative practices can’t always act in concert with the support systems created for meaningful community engagement; and the friction that comes with the balance of programming and finding moments for rest and grace.

She reflected on her connection to the Alvin Ailey company and shared what it means to truly see and embrace the unique possibilities of art. Through these stories, Nehprii inspired us to rethink the role of creativity in our lives and the power of living in harmony with others. Now for Act 2: What kind of artist are you in this moment? What is your purpose as an artist? These are two big questions swirling their way through Act 2, which picks up right where we left off. In this portion of their chat, Courtney and our guest dive deeper into Nehprii’s fascinating career in puppetry and how it shapes her creative voice. As she reflects ever-so-briefly on what fuels her artistry—the pressing fear that our humanness is disappearing—Nehprii explores the essence of being an artist, how we define artistic worth, and the deeper questions that keep her art alive. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to create, connect, and stay true to our humanity in an ever-changing world.…

Judith takes us on her own artistic journey, from discovering her passion for music at a young age to attending the prestigious LaGuardia High School and Manhattan School of Music. Through a series of serendipitous events, she found herself gigging professionally and stepping into arts administration by the age of 24. Judith reflects on the reality of supplementing her career as a musician with teaching and how her experience as a practicing artist has shaped her unique approach to arts administration today.

In this episode, it's all about stats, stats, and more stats—showcasing the eye-opening numbers around the lack of arts access for kids across New York City. Judith and Courtney, you’ll learn, believe that the arts should be advocated for in the same ways that subjects like history and social studies are, and they pose the question: Could and should people in positions of influence declare arts a core subject? Spoiler: the answer is YES! But their chat doesn’t stop there. They unpack how the arts uplift emotional well-being, acting as a crucial tool for human connection and mental health. Plus, Judith brings the heat with insights on how the arts are an economic powerhouse and an exciting, accessible, viable career pathway.

55:55In Act 1, we explored Betsaleel (Bets) Charmelus’s insights on transforming learning spaces, the importance of introducing novelty in education, and the critical role of trauma-informed practices. Bets challenged us to rethink how we prepare young people for a world that isn’t trauma-informed, emphasizing that the real impact comes when educators model resilience and adaptability. These foundational ideas set the stage for a deeper conversation in Act 2, where we shift focus from the classroom to Bets’s personal journey and the systemic challenges he’s faced. In this episode, Bets shares his trajectory into his current role as CEO of ArtistYear, offering a candid reflection on the racism he has witnessed within the arts education field and in society at large. He discusses the difficulties of owning his hard-won position and title in a world that often seeks to either undervalue Black leaders. Bets also tackles the complexities of being a Black leader in a time when Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) work is gaining prominence yet facing pushback from those resistant to change. This conversation delves into the intersection of personal experience and broader societal issues, providing our listeners with a powerful perspective on leadership, identity, and the ongoing fight for equity.…

50:29In Act 1 of this two-episode arc, Courtney engages in a thought-provoking discussion with educator and facilitator Betsaleel (Bets) Charmelus. In their discussion, Bets emphasizes why it’s essential for educators and facilitators to radically change traditional learning spaces. By altering the energy in these environments, we can create room for creative thinking and innovation, ultimately empowering students to think outside the box. Bets also delves into the significance of introducing novelty in a measured, incremental way during facilitation. He highlights how these small shifts can have a profound impact on student engagement and learning outcomes. The episode also explores the creation of spaces in which kids feel safe to take risks, fail, and learn from those failures—spaces that encourage exploration and experimentation as key components of the learning process. A core theme of this episode is the concept of trauma-informed practices in education. Bets challenges the notion of preparing students for a world that isn’t trauma-informed by asking, "Why do we offer trauma-informed strategies if the world doesn’t operate that way?" He responds to his own questions with a compelling idea: the power lies in modeling these practices in facilitation. By openly making mistakes, naming them, and celebrating small and big successes, educators can demonstrate resilience and adaptability. Bets asserts that when we model this work, we don’t just prepare students for the real world—we begin to change it. This episode is a deep dive into how we can equip young people with the tools they need to navigate a non-trauma-informed world and become agents of change in their own right.…

What we do want to highlight here is that our guest, the joyous Carmen Kelly, really digs into her past to bring us back to her present. In between those two points in her life (thus far), there are so many touchstones and flashpoints that truly highlight what so many of us already know and understand on the deepest of levels—if we’ve found ourselves in the arts, in any way, shape or form, we know what it feels like to have been called to this field and to have landed in spaces that we have needed and have needed us.…

Kelly notes that this work is all about fostering difficult and deep conversations, and intentionally setting up systems that center young people. At the core of this, Kelly tells us, is creating a soft place for kids to turn to, especially in our increasingly chaotic world. Questions that are addressed in this episode are: How can we create opportunities to let young people know that adults care about them and what they have to say?

1:07:25What do the words intentionality, collaboration, community, responsiveness, tenacity, perseverance and leadership have in common? They’re all terms or themes that emerge in our newest episode. And they’re all used in reference to teaching artistry and its pivotal role in the constant reshaping and elevation of arts education and arts administration. In Episode 63, Act 2: “Collaborate, Cultivate, Celebrate,” a number of big ideas and questions arise, two of which take center stage: In a world in which the non-profit industrial complex holds such a firm presence, how do we establish a more equitable leadership model? In what ways can we center teaching artists’ voices and perspectives to help drive organizational practices forward? In this newest installment, a panel of arts practitioners and administrators discuss the merger between Association of Teaching Artists (ATA) and Teaching Artists Guild (TAG) and the interpersonal discussions that were had, and the big ideas and systems that, out of necessity, were deconstructed and/or developed in order to make that meaningful merger happen. These brilliant minds also chat about the impact, positive and negative, that the pandemic had on the internal operations of non-profit organizations. This includes, of course, the innovative ways teaching artists and their expertise were invited into new discussions and either uplifted or not given their due. The panel’s conversation really hits full throttle when the panel discusses ways they’ve let go of hierarchical leadership models and instead chosen to embrace a more equitable concentric leadership model. That’s when they dive into a rich discussion about the emergence of that type of model and how the pendulum has swung into the position of embracing equity and rejecting old, oppressive models that have for so long kept the non-profit industrial complex aloft.…

1:19:43We’ve got another great episode for you, TA PODience! We’re back with Act 1 of a fascinating three-act series titled “Looking Back to Look Forward.” Episode 63, Act 1: “Collective Field Building,” features an exciting panel of inspiring multi-hyphenate artists and arts administrators who were instrumental in the formation of what would eventually become the Teaching Artists Guild (TAG). This episode is a fascinating reunion of sorts that is made up of Jean Johnstone, Kai Fierle-Hedrick, Lynn Johnson, Miko Lee, Jessica Mele, Eric Booth and of course Courtney J. Boddie. In Act 1, we learn about the “who” and “how” this confluence of creative minds intersected to found Teaching Artists Organized (TAO), and how that turned into Teaching Artists Guild. We also learn about the creation of two different tools developed in part by this group, one of which is the Teaching Artist Manifesto and how to create such a hold statement representative of every facet of teaching artistry as a field. The other is a larger, deeper conversation piece is the aspirational thinking behind the development of the teaching artist pay rate calculator, which can be used, in part, as a negotiating and advocacy tool, and a means to devising better hiring practices and roads to more equitable compensation for the teaching artist community as a whole. And all of this is discussed in the first half of this episode. So what else does this fascinating panel discuss? You’ll have to listen to find out!…

36:02In Act 3 of our three-part series, “In Conversation with ‘Start the Conversation,’” we dive right into a crucial topic: emergency drill support for teachers and kids. In this episode, we spotlight New York City Children's Theater’s Caitlyn McCain and Nicole Hogsett who have developed a groundbreaking resource called, “Start the Conversation.” This video series aims to provide grown-ups with a range of tools needed to engage in ongoing conversations with children on important and complex subjects like race, politics, mental health and LGBTQ+ identities. Our panel discussion focuses specifically on emergency drill support. The inspiration for their work on emergency drill support stems from real-life classroom experiences, including active shooter drills and fire drills. Drawing from their own experiences in classrooms, and in collaboration with educators and mental health professionals, Caitlyn and Nicole have created valuable resources for teachers, teaching artists and anyone working with young people. Their resources include a three-part video series that provide strategies for supporting young people before, during and after they experience emergency drills. They’ve also developed two comprehensive print resources—an Educator Emergency Drill Guide and two visual stories centered on fire drills and lockdown drills. Listen to the conclusion of this informative series to learn more about these essential resources and how they can reshape emergency preparedness in educational settings. Together, we can ensure the well-being and safety of our children while fostering meaningful conversations on these important topics.…

In their chat, the second in our three-part series, “In Conversation with ‘Start the Conversation,’” Courtney, Caitlyn and Lindz cover topics like pushing back against the current wave of anti-LGBTQIA legislation on the federal and local levels, book bannings and filling the void of Queer representation in TYA. In an effort to confront all of these issues, they discuss a shared interest: developing engaging education content that invites adults to have big conversations with kids about a range of topics from LGBTQIA+ identities to the non-binary and gender spectrum.

41:59We are back with an exciting three-part series titled “In Conversation with ‘Start the Conversation.’” In episode 62, Act 1: “Step In and Go Slow,” Courtney sits down with panelists Caitlyn McCain, Tara Kirton and Nicole Hogsett to discuss how New York City Children’s Theater resources came to be, beginning with a three-part video series called, “Our Relationship to Race.” The series we focus on in Episode 62, Act 1, as Caitlyn and Nicole state, was born out of urgency and necessity during the racial uprisings of 2020, following the murder of George Floyd. Caitlyn notes that the series they’ve created invites deep conversations between adults and kids about their relationship to race and racism within the context of the U.S. and its ongoing struggle to reconcile its society’s shared violent past and present. As Tara states, these conversations may seem, to some, too big for kids to understand but, as she also notes in the episode, research tells us that is simply not true. Kids, indeed, notice and are curious about the world around them, and the adults in their lives can either face harsh truths, challenge the status quo and have deep conversations with kids, or they can perpetuate the white supremacist standard of behaving as if these topics aren’t meant to be investigated and therefore reinforce white supremacist culture norms in kids, therefore passing down dangerous, deeply-rooted practices that negatively affect humans of the global majority and society at large. Big questions asked here are: How can we get to a place where we can begin to notice, ask, learn and celebrate what we may not understand so that we can grow as individuals and as a society? How can we invite white-identifying families to interrogate themselves in a way that is structured to create brave and meaningful conversations among one another? Despite the current wave of legislation being pushed to restrict knowledge centered on our actual shared history, how can we be brave to push past discomfort to have deeper conversations and learn together to affect societal change? Listen to this riveting conversation to hear and learn more, and be on the lookout for Act 2 next week as we continue to be “In Conversation with ‘Start the Conversation.’”…

55:42We’re back. Act 2 of our newest episode, “Finding Paths for Freedom Dreaming,” can be whittled down to three main ideas: 1. Aspiring to a more liberated arts and culture world; 2. Feeling our emotions through the work we do as artists and arts educators and not giving in to shutting down when the work feels difficult; 3. Having the ability to recognize the power one has and knowing when the time has come to relinquish that power. The second part of this episode steers us more intentionally into our upcoming episodes, which showcases the New York City Children’s Theater’s (NYCCT) resources titled, “Start the Conversation.” In their chat, Caitlyn takes a deeper dive into the work she does at NYCCT. She talks about how that work has only deepened since the start of the pandemic and has aimed at being responsive to kids and families with a focus on ”having conversations about topics that I wish someone would've talked to me about when I was a kid.” The conversation reaches its most grounded moment when the focus becomes all about trauma-informed approaches to teaching and learning. As Caitlyn notes when speaking on the six principles of a trauma-informed approach, every room we enter as artists and arts educators, someone has experienced some sort of trauma. So remembering to lead with this type of practice truly is a healing-centered and human-centered approach, which connects back beautifully to the three main ideas central to this chat. Find out how this conversation ends by downloading and listening today! Stay tuned next month for Episode 62: “In Conversation with: ‘Start the Conversation’” featuring three separate panel discussions with the collaboration teams of the following topics: Our Relationship to Race/Race, Racism and BLM, Exploring Gender and Emergency Drill Support.…

Question: can you recall a teacher from your childhood—yes, that one teacher—the one who ignited the spark of your artistic trajectory? Courtney and Caitlyn can and do in this two-episode arc! Episode 61 is all about identifying passion, knowing where one is meant to be, loss and grief, and finding meaning and power in the arts. In this time machine of a discussion, Courtney and Caitlyn go back to their respective moments of foundational learning to investigate their lived childhood experiences, and reflect on the people that supported their growth and urged them to be their best selves. They also delve into what it means to find one’s calling in the arts, dreaming big and the harsh realities that reveal themselves when artistic ambition and lack of financial literacy are at odds with one another.

If Act 1 of Episode 60 reflected on the ways in which Courtney and Melissa’s artistic and administrative work has been challenged by the pandemic (masks, shutdowns, reframing the art we make and how we connect with students and each other during times of unrest), Act 2 continues down a similar path but focuses even more on access and inclusivity. The main themes of this episode are: breaking down barriers to provide opportunities for young people to experience live theater, creating art that truly represents and amplifies young people’s voices, the positive effects of young people seeing themselves represented in stories being told on stage, and the gaps in learning and implementation still present in the theater industry after “We See You White American Theater” was first published. You won’t want to miss the conclusion of this profound conversation, still taking place at the intersection of social justice, education and the arts!…

1:09:08Hello, PODience! We’ve got a brand new two-act episode arc for you! Episode 60: “The Pursuit of Synergy” features Melissa Friedman, co-founder of Epic Theatre Ensemble, a professional social justice theatre company in New York City. In many ways, Episode 60 really holds its finger to the pulse of the zeitgeist. At the top of their chat, Courtney and Melissa take time to reflect on the myriad ways in which their artistic and administrative work was challenged by the pandemic. For instance, Melissa names and digs into the complex frustrations and roadblocks created by simply donning a mask. In a way, masks became her Kryptonite, diminishing her so-called “super powers” as well as her ability to effectively connect with a group of students. She also uplifts what it meant to discover and implement new mechanisms for teaching and mentoring young people while covering the most expressive and communicative part of her body. Courtney and Melissa speak very personally and thoughtfully about what it feels like on this side of the pandemic and the shared traumas we’re all processing (to varying degrees) as we navigate choppy personal and professional waters. Their discussion goes on a deliciously winding road through themes like: art born out of tragedy, shifting paradigms, the ways we think about our expertise, building bridges between artistry and education, and the intersection of social justice, education and the arts.

1:13:02Hello, PODience! We’re back with Act 2 of Episode 59: “Divine Self Development.” “Everybody’s story is so different,” says Courtney to our newest featured guest, Aminisha Ferdinand. In the first part of this two-episode arc, we posed the essential questions: What ignites something in you that must be expressed through art that cannot be expressed through words? Where do you fit on the spectrum of artistry? And we’re going to stick with and build upon those questions. In Act 2 of Episode 59, Courtney and Aminisha continue their deeply philosophical conversation about what it means to fall into or find one’s way to the arts. When Aminisha was young, people told her that she was “good at [theater and dance]” and she admittedly “like[s] to do things that [she] feels [she’s] good at.” This time around the discussion really begins to focus on what happens when dreams shift, the universe takes a hand and one finds themself doing something they know they want to do but it’s in the wrong space and time. What does it mean to realize that one’s existence within the global arts community has shifted? How might the existential dread that comes with that fuel one to seek a new position within the creative arts spectrum? So, how does this conversation end? You’ve gotta listen to find out!…

This thought-provoking chat is driven by the essential questions: How can theater be of service to the community? How can theater hold value beyond production and how can we create experiences that are not transactional? Alex dives even deeper into his work with Theater of the Oppressed and how those techniques are intrinsically embedded into his work and approaches to theater making. One example Alex offers is New York Theatre Workshop’s intergenerational “Mind the Gap” program, which sees teens and elders act as co-generators of original theater.

1:05:24Hello, PODience! We’ve got a great new two-act episode arc for you! Episode 58: “Processing the Collective Scars” features New York Theater Workshop Director of Education, Alex Santiago-Jirau. Their conversation begins with connecting around the missions and multi-faceted approaches of both New York Theatre Workshop and New Victory Theater. The real inquiry begins with the question: What does it mean to define oneself as an artist? The focus then turns to Alex Santiago-Jirau—born and raised in mountainous, small-town Puerto Rico, known for its arts-rich culture—who grew up singing, dancing and acting. As Alex puts it, he very much connected with the "play" aspect of theater, which “allowed me to explore and try things that me as Alex would not typically explore.” In other words, through the arts, he discovered a world in which he could be expressive and tell stories. Their conversation deepens further when Alex begins to discuss his work with Augusto Boal and the Theater of the Oppressed, which Alex characterizes as theater as activism driving toward liberation—a space in which one must be comfortable with being uncomfortable in confronting things that are messy in the world. What else do Courtney and Alex discuss? You’ll have to catch this delightful conversation, which takes place right at the intersection of art and activism, to find out!…

This conversation holds fast to the tone of the first half of the episode, which focused on arts and social change. Here, Courtney and Miko both hold court and really lean into a few key points like: the need for the arts as a pathway for change-making, the global cultural variances in the approach to one’s artistry, the imperative of being in the right relationship with oneself and approaching transformative justice from the inside (self) to the outside (those one wishes to serve through the arts). Their conversation continues down a path that, at times, feels very introspective while also asking very meta questions. You’ll really want to connect with this one, listeners!

Episode 57: “Arts, Essence…Us” is a thoughtfully passionate conversation featuring activist, storyteller and educator Miko Lee, Director of Programs at Asian Americans for Civil Rights and Equality (AACRE). The setting of Courtney’s chat with Miko is at the intersection of arts and social justice. At the top, we learn a lot about Miko’s trajectory from the arts into civic engagement, which occurred, she states, because she was at the right place at the right time. Miko really hones in on her passionate connection to her artistry and how the collaborative, communal nature of that artistry is so important in driving social change. Their conversation hits full throttle when they begin to discuss the power of teaching artistry and teaching artists’ innate ability to truly bring about positive change. The conversation weaves a fascinating web of topics including radical welcoming, guerilla theater as entrypoints to the arts and how teaching artistry can and must be the things that gets us out of the messy, oppressive world in which we’re currently living.

Horton, the newly-appointed President of Harlem School of the Arts in New York City. At the top of Courtney’s chat with James, a self-proclaimed "analog dude" and father of four ambitious kids, they linger for a while on their childhood experiences. Their conversation really gains momentum when they connect over the meaning of family and finding a connection to the arts as a safe space at just the right time in life. The heart and soul of this meaningful chat is centered around the word “tension.” As James says it, every aspect of art is based in tension and how we, as artists, explore and move through that tension. Without the presence of tension, James notes, there is nothing. How one harnesses and focuses the power of that tension is the artist’s ultimate challenge. Other topics explored in this episode include core values as personal and professional anchors, the collaborative and communal nature of theater and slingshots. Yes, you read that right. Slingshots.

58:59Hello, TA PODience. When we posted Act 1 of Episode 52, we noted that we realize that there is a lot going on in the world and want to acknowledge the continued shared traumas we’re experiencing here and globally. Unfortunately, the same sentiment remains true as we post the second half of this two-part discussion. We truly hope that your takeaway from our newest installment is one of calm, joy and a celebration of the power of the arts. In Act 2 of Episode 52: “Shattering the Box,” Courtney continues her conversation with Michelle Manzanales, Director of Ballet Hispánico’s School of Dance. If Act 1 was centered on treating this fraught pandemic time as a moment for reinventing, restructuring and reimagining, this one expands the conversation around impact to an even warmer, thoughtful discussion about intentional approaches to arts learning. At the heart of this chat is that, at its very core, engaging kids through the arts is about joy—access to joy—and how dance specifically can harness that. In one instance, Michelle notes that it’s magical to witness someone find the confidence, the courage, the strength to access their freedom and joy, and to be able to stand up straight, chest out and chin up through dance. They discuss further the impact not only on the self, the internal impact and external effects of engaging in the arts, but also how those positive, impactful moments can ripple out into the world, effecting positive change. So, how does this conversation conclude? You’ll have to listen to find out! We thank you for listening. Take care of yourself and each other. Until next time, and with love and gratitude, the TA with CJB #PodSquad.…

50:32Hello, TA PODience. We realize that there is a lot going on in the world and want to acknowledge the continued shared traumas we’re experiencing here and globally. We hope that our newest episode, which is centered around the themes of creativity, self-expression and living one’s truth will bring some much-needed hope and joy into your spaces. In our newest two-parter, Episode 52: “Shattering the Box,” Courtney sits down in a Zoom space with Michelle Manzanales, Director of Ballet Hispánico’s School of Dance since 2016. Courtney and Michelle’s thoughtful, feel-good conversation is one for the moment in which they discuss how this pandemic time, while fraught, has been a time of reinventing, restructuring and reimagining, particularly for arts organizations. Over the past two years we, as artists and arts administrators, have expanded the ways in which we can do our work, create art and collaborate (e.g., remote work means the potential for finding new creative spaces like parks, the street and even subways). They also discuss the emotional impact of the arts on kids, noting the visual inspiration that comes from being present in the magical spaces in which kids are seeing live performing arts, like change in posture and the glimmer in a child’s eye. They then draw direct connections to their own childhoods asking: What might it have been like if the programming we now work in existed when we were younger? Where would we be? The conversation segues into one that is quite personal and poignant, especially in today’s world—a conversation about racism and societal assimilation vs. cultural appreciation and what it means to have a true understanding of one’s culture and standing in it with pride and conviction. So, how does this conversation thread all of those thoughts together? You’ve gotta listen to find out!…

1:07:14We are back with the second part of Episode 51: “Name, Listen, Witness,” in which Courtney continues her conversation with Rabab Ghazoul, a “socially-engaged visual artist whose work explores points of contact between systems of power and individual agency, voices that are yet to speak, spaces of in-between-ness, and the body politic.” Rabab speaks very eloquently about the responsibility we have, as artists and changemakers, to be co-conspirators, advocate and make a case not just to “do the work,” but to be truly mindful of others’ past traumas—to avoid perpetuating harm to communities. In their discussion, Courtney and Rabab also chat about the societal and cultural shifts occurring all around us, including the collapse of oppressive systems like colonialism and the historical legacies of racism that are embedded in our daily lives. Rabab points out the need to see the ultimate grinding down of these systems or the work of extracting them from people and communities will need to continue. Courtney also asks Rabab to talk about being nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize, an award recognizing a British artist’s work of visual art. As a reminder, Ghazoul works with gentle/radical, an organization laser-focused on addressing the gaps in mainstream cultural practice, provision and thinking. It’s an organization that is focused on “people working in the context of people,” and they center their work through the philosophy of perpetual outreach, which aims not just to draw people in and hook them, but to physically, interpersonally sustain and nurture relationships, while also searching for the intersection of their audiences and mining for the parts of the interpersonal connections made that might just lead to art-making. Questions and themes that arise in this episode are: As a long-term commitment to place and nurturing relationships with communities, what happens when you remain in one place over decades and drill down to what the possibilities are? What shapes does decolonization work take depending on community and place? What shapes might meaningful community engagement and connection through the arts take? How does “creative justice” work like this exist outside of the arts and arts education? Listen to this brand new episode to hear and learn more!…

1:05:20Greetings, TA PODience! We are back with an incredible two-part episode. In Episode 51: “Name, Listen, Witness,” Courtney speaks with the inspiring Rabab Ghazoul. This amazing human identifies artistically as a “socially-engaged visual artist whose work explores points of contact between systems of power and individual agency, voices that are yet to speak, spaces of in-between-ness, and the body politic” whose creative practice “is consistently drawn back to spaces of interaction and activation, with a focus largely beyond galleries or exhibiting regimes as final destinations.” In the first part of the episode, Ghazoul discusses her work with the artist-run project gentle/radical, which is laser-focused on addressing the gaps in mainstream cultural practice, provision and thinking. As Ghazoul puts it, it’s an organization that is focused on “people working in the context of people,” and they ground the work through the philosophy of perpetual outreach, which aims not just to draw people in and hook them, but to physically, interpersonally sustain and nurture relationships, while also searching for the intersection of their audiences and mining for the parts of the interpersonal connections made that might just lead to art-making. Just a few of the questions that arise in this episode are: What does decolonizing look like in this work? What shapes might community engagement and connection through the arts take? What does art as a process look like during a worldwide pandemic lockdown? So how were these answered and what other questions came up? Listen to find out!…

51:15Hello, PODience. If you haven’t heard, we’ve hit a big milestone for our podcast and for our team: we’ve just reached our 50th episode and we’re so excited to share Act 2 of that episode with you! Precious Blake, a guest with heart and a focus on community and togetherness through art and interpersonal connection, is featured in Episode 50: “Speed of Trust.” A visual journalist and archivist who moonlights as an illustrator and collagist, Blake is also the Senior Operations Manager at the Village of Arts and Humanities, and organization in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that strives for equitable revitalization of community through art activation. In Act 1 of this episode, Precious spoke about her creative work, her process and how her personal emotions fuel her art-making and artist hand, making her emotional state very present in her creative work. The questions from Act 1—What does care look like? If we were to think of building a world that leads with a care sensibility, what could we create? How do we, as artists, cultivate a sustainable existence in which we can thrive?—are still present, but this conversation takes a deeper dive into more nuanced issues like: How have the last two years shaped our brain space and creative approach? As arts administrators, just how much do we center Teaching Artists’ voices? What role do Teaching Artists play in reshaping the landscape of arts and cultural organizations? What does it look and feel like to “move” complex emotion out of our body? Listen to this thoughtful conversation to find out the answers!…

51:25Hello, PODience! We're back with Episode 49, Act 2: "Reframe Around Repair," featuring Mauricio Salgado. Our guest plays many roles and holds myriad positions as an artist and changemaker and, as he says, is in pursuit of justice and healing through a decolonial framework—seeing, naming and analyzing power structures in order to upset the intrinsic imbalance. In this continuation of Salgado's conversation with Courtney, their chat turns from the "I" to the "we"—the collective. They talk about how, in order to grow as a society, we need to reframe the ways in which we think about one another and the words we use to speak to and about the people with whom we share space. To do that, Salgado suggests that we need to liberate ourselves from the "epoch of disposability" and create new systems that welcome collective growth. One talking point of Salgado's that stands out to us as one of this conversation's lightbulb moments: "Histories haunt. As much as empires try to erase them, histories haunt us. And folks are lifting stories back up, animating spirits to haunt us into action." How does this conversation conclude? You're gonna have to listen to find out!…

Salgado, who plays many roles and holds myriad positions as an artist and changemaker, notes that he is in pursuit of justice and healing through a decolonial framework—seeing, naming and analyzing power structures in order to upset the intrinsic imbalance. In his conversation with Courtney, Salgado tells us that, through the ways in which he was brought up by his parents, he realized from a young age that justice is a lens through which one can view the world; that the scales of power are always off balance and the pursuit of balancing that power became his objective. And he has held true to that objective by working within and alongside organizations that create and nurture sustainable relationships within their ecosystems and engaging in reparative work to redistribute wealth and power. What else does he do and hope to accomplish through artistry and otherwise? Well, you'll have to listen to this amazing conversation to find out!…

Episode 47, "Collectively Moving Toward Justice," features a powerful conversation with Rachael Jacobs, whose career spans three decades, with her artistry contributing to arts in schools, teacher education, the community arts sector and arts activism. Rachael's current project in Australia, "Chill the Heat," was commissioned by ITAC as part of its ITAC IMPACT: Climate project. In this episode, Rachael speaks about how she chooses to invite artists to become artistic visionaries and take the sharp turn toward justice through art; to work as a collective and tap into new ways of thinking as a way forward—a way to turn creativity into creative justice. Some big questions that come up in this episode are: How can the arts influence conversations around climate justice and change the minds of people in positions of power? How can we finally remove capitalist funding structures from the work of art makers? How can we as artists broaden our thinking as an arts collective in order to exact change?

Advantage, who aims to help purpose-driven business executives leverage equity as a pathway to prosperity to effectively lead their diverse teams through conflicts involving race, politics, and privilege. Together, Courtney and Kemy navigate a thoughtful conversation around the collective traumas of the past year and a half, how that trauma affects the brain's development and the overall effects of the shared experience of being retraumatized (almost daily) without a chance to process and move forward. The conversation settles into one about how we as artists can help create environments in which people can slow down, calm down and allow themselves to reset. In this discussion, Kemy notes that, as our anxiety increases, our empathy decreases. Thus, when it comes to creating the right environment(s) needed for DEI work, we must create more empathy and reduce anxiety so that we can better connect with one another. The second half of their conversation takes a dive into Kemy's inciting incident—the moment of rejection and failure that set his journey on its track from conflicted youth to where and who he is now. This portion of the episode asks, "What if rejection is an invitation to love yourself more and a moment to separate your true self from the things you produce and offer to the world?"

If you listened to Act 1, you'll know that this episode features a truly thoughtful conversation between Courtney and Dennie Palmer Wolf, a researcher with cross-disciplinary consulting firm, WolfBrown. If Act 1 focused on teaching artists and advocacy for the field of arts education, Act 2 builds on that with a focus on the potential power the arts can wield and takes a personal turn for both participants in the conversation. For Dennie, we get a more in-depth examination of how and why she became a researcher and arts advocate. Courtney talks about her very personal connection to the arts and how music brought her parents together. The heartbeat of this conversation can be heard when the two discuss the role of the arts as a disruptive force and change-maker in dismantling deeply oppressive systemic issues in the ways we approach education in this country. Dennie hits the nail on the head when she states that education can help us “talk about the world that needs to be created, not the world as it is,” inspiring Courtney to dive into the concept of imagination justice, a term coined by Wolf, which Dennie says should be the aim not only for arts education, but for all disciplines. As a reminder to our PODience, Ms. Wolf is a recent recipient of the Teaching Artist Ally Award, which was given to her by the Association of Teaching Artists (ATA) for her work in the field.…

But the conversation really lands in the sweet spot of teaching artist advocacy and how seemingly caring and highly-regarded institutions turned their backs on teaching artists and at the start of the pandemic instead of working with them to innovate and elevate their programs through their workforce’s artistry and expertise.…

In doing so, Kwame offers two wise thoughts that really set the tone for this conversation: "Your wounds are your blessings" and "If you can't change the wind, adjust the sail." This leads to a powerful conversation about Kwame's childhood, the trauma he experienced as a result of how he saw Black humans represented on television, and how Black humans were treated by society. And this conversation ultimately moves to how he found and embraced his life's calling and his artistry. Through his artistry and educational background, Kwame aims to create and inspire through poignant metaphor and quotation. Mr. Scruggs is the founder and director of Alchemy, a non-profit organization that uses storytelling—primarily myth and fairy tales—and the djembe drum to work with male youth in order to promote personal development and growth, teaching life lessons through objective means. In their conversation, Courtney and Kwame talk about the need for the arts as a tool to connect with young people, especially during a pandemic, and how patience is key to making and keeping those connections.

Nai-Ni also describes her diverse dance company, which has brought arts and cultural programming to audiences across the country, as one with a unique aesthetic style—formed in part by the realization that the United States offers students a narrow, Euro-centric, patriarchal curriculum, often omitting the immigrant story—as having a strong focus on celebrating culture and humanity.

Felicia is the author of the book "The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom," which is the basis of this episode's discussion. In their chat, co-produced by the Denver area's BookBar, it becomes clear that Felicia's commitment to this work offers thought-provoking, inspiring and innovative ways to restructure what creative expression looks and feels like. She advocates for the centering of students' artistry and the decentering of traditional authority, specifically that which perpetuates white supremacist power structures, including white orientation, narrative and dominance. Throughout the episode, Felicia offers up excerpts from her book, highlighting segments with titles like "A Safe Space for Creative Concentration" and "Academic Freedom," and notes that she, too, wanted not only to write this book, but to do this important anti-racist work herself. Felicia also draws connections to her own creative work—which she admits IS her life—in which she aims to be anti-racist and support students through their own personal artistic preferences and story sharing, not only as a creative exercise but as a part of a movement toward social justice, urging students to want, need, and insist their stories are heard.

34:02"Kids have a lot of teachers. They don't have a lot of artists in their lives." That quote, taken directly from this week's episode, frames the second part of Courtney's conversation with Russell Granet—New 42’s President and CEO! In Act 2 of Episode 40: “Striving Toward Belonging,” Courtney and Russell take a deeper dive into Russell's historical knowledge of teaching artistry. They dig into its evolution over the past few decades and discuss their hope that the profession as a whole leans into amplifying and highlighting the artistry of the extraordinary people in the field. This episode also delves into New 42's ongoing antiracism work, including the continued development of an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) ecosystem which calls in multiple perspectives in order to make accountability, equity and liberatory practices essential parts of the fabric of New 42's systems. If you missed it, be sure to listen to Act 1 of this great interview. In that episode, Russell talks about his journey from childhood class clown, to artist, to teaching artist, to his current role as arts administrator. Russell’s time as a teaching artist, over 30 years ago, is of particular significance in this discussion, and his career, as this is the point during which he saw the systemic inequities—in terms of access to the arts and in regards to racist and discriminatory practices—built into the New York City school system. Russell also gives some great insight into the evolution of teaching artistry from its humble beginnings to its highly respected role in the arts education field.…

Anecdotally, and Courtney states this at the top of the episode, Toya, Robyne and Durell have been influential in the development of Courtney's liberatory practices and philosophy, and it's clear why. It's quite powerful to hear just how each of these arts practitioners view the inequities—and the possibilities—in the arts education field. Arts organizations all over the nation, and their leaders, have finally been put under a microscope. There is a demand for them to dig deep in order to interrogate and examine oppressive, white supremacist policies and practices that pervade, from the roots upward, the foundation of and structures within the arts education field.

54:51First, Courtney sits down for a convo with Step Afrika! founder, C. Brian Williams. How can predominantly white institutions (PWIs) better respond to and dismantle their own oppressive practices in order to rebuild their infrastructure? Well, that's one question and one approach. But Williams thinks he has a better idea and call to action: cultivating a strong ecology of arts organizations that are equitably represented in the field. Williams says of arts organizations across the nation that they must examine what deeply rooted historic structures have prevented growth towards equity and telling stories that decenter whiteness, and celebrate the successes and failures that are a part of the history of this country through art. What else do Courtney and C. Brian discuss? And why does C. Brian Williams make a key reference to Dolly Parton? You'll have to listen to this inspiring conversation to find out! Up next, we have Michael J. Bobbitt. Currently he is the Artistic Director of New Repertory Theatre, but he'll become executive director of the Massachusetts Cultural Council on February 1, 2021. In Courtney’s conversation with the well-known director, choreographer and playwright, the two longtime colleagues discuss the need for new approaches and strategies for embracing anti-racist practices in our nation's arts organizations. Simply put, Bobbitt suggests that, in order to do this, we must be co-conspirators and aim to disrupt and topple oppressive practices. To paraphrase a few of the points made in this conversation, Courtney and Michael talk about oppressive power structures in predominantly white cultural institutions and how power is at the very root of systemic oppression and racism. One of the most poignant statements Michael makes is this: without relinquishing or redistributing their power, white individuals in positions of influence will keep racism alive and thriving.…

55:13Hey, listeners! It’s our last episode of 2020 and, unlike the majority of this turbulent year, this episode is fire! The overarching question of this episode, which features both Khalia Davis and Quanice Floyd, is: “What does a liberated and racially just world look like?” And how do our guests answer this question? Well, you'll have to listen to Episode 37: “In Solidarity and Community”! First, Courtney sits down for a chat with Khalia Davis, a multidisciplinary artist and the newly-appointed Artistic Director of Bay Area Children’s Theater, to discuss the importance of representation and creating a dialogue for kids and their families about recognizing and confronting racism. The focus of much of their conversation is Khalia’s piece, “A Kids Play About Racism,” a play for young audiences based on Jelani Memory’s, “A Kids Book About Racism.” Khalia, who sees the arts as a means of amplifying and empowering marginalized communities, hopes that, ultimately, people who look like her will cease to question their sense of belonging within the arts. Up next, we have Quanice Floyd. “Anti-racism isn’t just a lens” is one of the sharpest, most pointed quotes from Courtney’s conversation with Quanice, and discussing what highlights the fear and hope that comes with having these very visceral conversations about race, racism and anti-racist practices. Floyd is a self-proclaimed “rebellious one” who pushes social constructs out of the way in order to fight both inside and outside the classroom and create meaningful arts learning for every kid. Her philosophy is that learning should be relatable and responsive and that our current model, steeped in white supremacy, doesn’t serve every student. And how does she do this? Listen to find out!…

52:00Courtney speaks with Alaina Newell, creator of the podcast "The Fourth Wall," as part of the video series “We Can’t Go Back.” In this insightful episode, Courtney and Alaina discuss Newell's podcast and its inception, and they confront the contradiction of theatrical safe spaces (and its severe lack of brave spaces). Candidly, Alaina admits that she has approached her participation in the field with compassion, but that compassion has not always been reciprocated, highlighting deeply-rooted institutional racism. One commonality that is very present in this episode is how and why Courtney and Alaina have both created their respective brave virtual spaces—their podcasts—in which BIPOC artists' voices must be centered, amplified and celebrated. Lastly, Courtney and Alaina discuss what is being done, what could be done and what must be done to dismantle systemic white supremacy within arts and cultural institutions. And how leading with anti-racism and amplifying Black voices—and hearing and listening to those voices—is essential to unifying and strengthening the field.…
This episode opens with a discussion with our partners at Creative Generation's Jeff Poulin (Managing Director) and André Solomon (Community Engagement Specialist). An introduction to the podcast's video series, "We Can't Go Back," their dynamic discussion is around systemic racism and anti-racist practices within the fields of arts and arts education addresses the need for systemic restructuring, not incremental spotlighting of these very real issues, in order to make true change happen. And this discussion is not just theoretical. No. It's a discussion about intentional steps that both Jeff and Courtney are taking to actually make change an action, not wish, by cultivating liberated spaces and standardizing abolitionist teaching practices that decenter whiteness and honor the stories of artists who are Black, Indigenous and People of Color. The second half of the podcast is a fascinating conversation between Courtney and two giants in the fields of arts and arts education: Adia Tamar Whitaker, Artistic Director of Àse Dance Theatre Collective; and Toya Lillard, Executive Director of viBe Theater Experience. Together, they discuss concepts like: folklore as it exists in the past, in the present and within the bodies of Black people; the direct connection between art and activism; feeling like a leader but being perceived as a problem; surviving in hopes of thriving. Through questions like: "What are some ways you embed anti-racist practices into your work?" and "What are some actions arts institutions can take to restructure and dismantle oppressive systems and policies that uphold white supremacist constructs?," Courtney, Adia and Toya have a rich and intense conversation about the necessary shifts needed to begin creating liberated and brave spaces for Black women and for all BIPOC artists to exist, explore and create art. Final thought: What is the true change you want to see in the world? See it. Say it. Make it. Be it. #Onwards…

That's just one very meta-question that is asked in the continued conversation between Courtney and artist-educator Daniel Levy, author of the book, "A Teaching Artist's Companion." Their discussion becomes less of a linear journey from child to grown-up artist, and more of an exercise in examining one's adolescence and the foundations that, despite what one might be trying to build for themself at a very young age, are laid for them, leaving very little room for personal exploration and growth. And how does one find their individuality, their creativity, under those circumstances? One emerging theme from Courtney and Daniel's conversation is finding a love of the art form of music and harnessing the power of that art form in order to propel their artistry, fueling their creative journey and helping them identify the space between the lines and become the arts educators they are today.…

This remarkable woman is the founder of Dance to be Free, an organization that aims to radically impact the lives of incarcerated women through the healing power of dance. In this fascinating discussion, Lucy talks to Courtney about her seemingly serendipitous journey from dancer, to dance teacher, to discovering unique ways of healing through dance. With a focus on working with incarcerated women, some committed to a lifetime of imprisonment, Wallace's organization takes the art form directly to prisons across the country and creates engaging experiences through a trauma-informed lens. It's through that framework, and taking inspiration from Tennessee-based clinician and researcher Dr. Bruce Perry's "six r's of healing trauma," that Dance to be Free leans into the therapeutic nature of rhythm. The goal, Wallace notes, is to create opportunities for program participants to process moments in their lives through creative writing, community discussion and dance, and develop a healing space through the arts. What is the process like? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out!…
Where are you? How are you feeling? How are you reacting to this moment? These are the questions that launch this episode's dynamic discussion around systemic racism and anti-racist practices within the fields of arts and arts education. On Thursday, July 16, 2020, TYA/USA* hosted "Centering Black Leadership in TYA," a virtual town hall with Black artists, educators and leaders in Theater for Young Audiences (TYA). That town hall—led by TYA/USA Board Members Idris Goodwin and Dexter J. Singleton, in conversation with Michael J. Bobbitt, Courtney J. Boddie, Gloria Bond Clunie and Jacqueline Handy—held space for exploring the current moment(s) we're experiencing (the Covid-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement) and how different community organizations are, or are not, responding to this moment in time. The panel also discusses the importance of critical examination of systems of oppression within the TYA field and how to meet those systems with thoughtful, actionable responses by implementing anti-racist practices. How can we, as administrators and practitioners, help guide those at the top of predominantly white power structures in dismantling oppressive constructs? How can we identify, interrogate and radically shift oppressive practices and systems to impact needed change? What seeds can we plant with love to build hope and joy through the arts? You'll want to listen to this episode to hear some of the ideas this incredible group tosses around. *Teaching Artistry with Courtney J.

It's clear: political complacency leads to political apathy, civic engagement is required to keep progress at the forefront of our democracy, art is activism. In this very politics-forward conversation, Courtney and Oliver discuss the importance of art as a mirror for our society, the overt and visible oppression built into our very patriarchal society and so much more. This poignant conversation digs into the roots of where our divided country stands and how our founding document is, at times, a hindrance to advancing our rights as ever-evolving human beings.

1:11:21Hi, friends of Teaching Artistry with Courtney J. Boddie! We've got a brand new episode for you! "Episode 21: What It Means About, Act 1", which includes a brand new segment titled "Friends of the Podcast" featuring an entertaining conversation with AJ DUNK (spelled *all caps*), is a conversation with Oliver Butler, director of Broadway's acclaimed production of Heidi Schreck's What the Constitution Means to Me. It's clear: political complacency leads to political apathy, civic engagement is required to keep progress at the forefront of our democracy, art is activism. In this very politics-forward conversation, Courtney and Oliver discuss the importance of art as a mirror for our society, the overt and visible oppression built into our very patriarchal society and so much more. This poignant conversation digs into the roots of where our divided country stands and how our founding document is, at times, a hindrance to advancing our rights as ever-evolving human beings. Courtney asks the questions: How can we truly define the word "feminarchy" as a good, forward-moving thing? How do we begin to change how we talk to each other? How can I strive to nurture others? How can arts be at the center of this? And perhaps we should all ask ourselves these same questions so that we can begin to move forward to fully realize our humanity.…

1:11:54We're back with a brand new episode of our podcast, which was recorded LIVE at the 2019 #LCEForum in front of an audience of dedicated artists and educators. In Episode 20, "Story Nurturer", following a delightful and enlightening introduction by LCE’s Alex Sarian, Courtney sits down with indigenous self-proclaimed “interdisciplinary shapeshifting” artist and storyteller, Ty Defoe, of the Ojibwe and Oneida Nations. In this woven tapestry of a conversation, Courtney and Ty navigate through a lot of incredibly fascinating topics including the presence of the arts in Ty’s childhood, indigeneity, colonialism, how we are all connected through and because of art. Courtney also poses the question to the audience, “Are Teaching Artists shapeshifters?” You don’t want to miss this one, folx!…

50:15Happy election week, friends of Teaching Artistry with Courtney J. Boddie! We’re back with new episodes, and this time, it’s political. Our newest two-episode arc, titled “Courtney Goes To Washington,” recorded over two days at the Arts Advocacy Day conference, coordinated by our friends at Americans for the Arts, in Washington, D.C., is ready for download! In this important series, featuring Stephen Butler (CNY Arts), Drew Malmuth (National Guild for Community Arts Education) and Caroline Moore (Diller Quaile School of Music), Courtney and her colleagues engage in poignant conversations around arts advocacy, the arts as an instrument for social justice and the intrinsic impact of the arts. Let's be honest: in dark, divisive times like these, it's important to find things that bring us joy and light, that offer fun, amusement, entertainment and, yes, even broaden our sense of self and the world around us. Art does that. Art unifies us, challenging us to think differently and empathize with others and their experiences. We, at Teaching Artistry with Courtney J. Boddie, hope to inspire you to be ripples of light and advocates for the arts. Don't miss these powerful episodes!…
