PARTICIPANTS

Eric Booth | Arlene Goldbard | François Matarasso

 

COMMENTARY

Eric Booth is a founding leader of the global field of teaching artistry, a wide and fast-evolving field that combines artistry with pedagogical creativity.  For over forty-five years, Eric has guided teaching artists and arts organizations in what he calls “the ancient, underutilized power” of activating artistry in individuals and communities to simultaneously create beauty, engagement, and progressive social change. 

In this wide-ranging episode, we introduce listeners to a wealth of projects and ideas that often overlap with community arts and cultural democracy but may not be well-known in that field.
