Protecting Our Peace (w/Jonathan McCrory & Jennifer Lisette Lopez) [RE-RELEASE]
Hey there, Scorekeepers! On our off weeks for the next few months, we're revisiting ART CLASS, the 12-episode series all about arts and arts education that we released last year. We hope you enjoy taking this stroll down memory lane with us!

Happy Black History Month, Classmates! This week's ART CLASS is all about healing and self-care. As Black folks and Black artists especially, it's so easy to over-extend ourselves during the month of February, so this week we devote the first part of the episode to delving into our self-care routines. How does one establish boundaries in a world that doesn't want you to have any? Where does self-care intersect with community care? Then, we're joined by an exceptional guest! Last October, we recorded a live show at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall, where we were joined by the amazing Jonathan McCrory, Artistic Director of the National Black Theatre, which produced the recent Broadway hit Purlie Victorious starring Leslie Odom, Jr. and Kara Young. We had a powerful conversation all about this incredible piece of theater, its relevance in these times, and what he does to take care of himself (0:26:36). Later, it's time for another installment of Career Day with choreographer, Jennifer Lisette Lopez (0:53:51). Plus, the Morning Announcements with Emile (0:50:55) and a little Pure Black Joy (1:02:02) to get you through the week. Please take your seats, because class is back in session!
