ABOUT SA'DAIVEON

 

Sadaiveon is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Denver, Colorado, where he currently resides after earning a BFA in Theatre Acting and a degree in Political Science from Drake University. His work spans acting, writing, directing, and costume design—four artistic practices that, to him, are all connected by one mission: telling real stories, especially the ones that too often go unheard.

 

Before he ever stepped on stage, Sadaiveon was a writer. From a young age, he filled composition notebooks with “stories”—early experiments in storytelling that hinted at the layered, character-driven work he creates today. He discovered acting in third grade when a punishment for talking too much led him to Drama Club. From there, theatre became a lifeline and a calling. He began working professionally in middle school, later attending Denver School of the Arts, where his love for performance and design deepened into a lifelong pursuit.

​

Sadaiveon’s artistry is grounded in his identity as a queer Black man who grew up poor—an experience that informs both the stories he tells and how he tells them. Whether he's inhabiting a character, directing a scene, or designing the visual world a story lives in, he works with purpose and empathy. His creative voice is sharp, bold, and deeply attuned to the complexities of humanity.

​

At the heart of everything he does is a belief in storytelling as resistance, remembrance, and repair.
