Episode 73, ACT 1: Nehprii Amenii: One Hundred Percent Whole

In Act 1 of Episode 73: “One Hundred Percent Whole,” we welcome the one, the only, the radiant Nehprii Amenii—an educator, Teaching Artist, curriculum developer, theater director, playwright, puppeteer, and a self-proclaimed “creator of things.” Nehprii shares her journey as a New Victory LabWorks artist, exploring how her repeated invitations to the program helped shape her work both within the program and elsewhere. In their conversation, she and Courtney delve into the importance of centering artistry and maintaining a sense of childlike wonder as adults. Listeners will also hear Nehprii’s unique approach to fostering harmony within the classroom and her inspiring connection to the Alvin Ailey company, which deepened her understanding of what it truly means to be an artist.
