Teaching Artistry With Courtney J. Boddie

In Act 1 of this 2-episode arc, "Manifesting Our Creative Chapters," we are thrilled to welcome Tricia Patrick, Director of Education at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. Tricia’s story is one of artistic discovery and self-reflection, rooted in a deep love for the arts that began at a very early age. She takes us on a journey through her life, exploring how an initial spark of passion for the arts led her to navigate diverse paths and career focuses, only to find herself returning to her creative roots with renewed purpose. Along the way, Tricia reflects on the importance of looking back on the many chapters that shape who we are—how embracing our personal histories not only informs our identities but also enhances our ability to engage, educate, and inspire through the arts. This episode invites listeners to consider the cyclical nature of passion and purpose, and how our ever-evolving narratives can deepen our connection to the work we do.
