Who is Levi?

Levi Weinhagen is a writer, producer, performer, podcaster, trainer and educator. 

What does Levi do?

He co-founded the all-ages theater company Comedy Suitcase and has created multiple original shows that were in the top 10 of ticket sales at the Minnesota Fringe Festival. In 2012 Levi was named an Artist of the Year by City Pages. He was the first ever Artist in Residence for the Walker Art Center’s Education and Family programs department in 2014-2015. He is a teaching artist with COMPAS. Levi produced and hosted a podcast called ‘Not About You’ that is a serious yet entertaining look at social justice issues in America. He is a graduate of HOPE Community’s Sustainable Progress Through Engaging Active Citizens (SPEAC) organizer training program. Levi is a qualified administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory. He completed the 2017 Center for Performance and Civic Practice Summer Institute. Levi is also Senior Strategist and Special Projects Director for the race and gender justice focused consulting firm, Team Dynamics.

Why does Levi do what he does?

  

As someone who holds many identities (white, straight, cisgendered male) that are currently given preference in many ways in the United States and its colonies, I believe that knowing and naming the ways our identities and lived experiences impact the ways we are or are not getting our needs met is essential. 

Three of my most important values are justice, kindness, and creativity. A focus on justice tells me that we can and should close gaps that hurt us and the people we care about. A focus on kindness guides me in holding onto the truth without using shame as a driver for change. And creativity is how I remember that there are always multiple ways to move towards goals.

We talk about race, gender, religion, representation, protests, politics, relationships and more.
