Enid Marie Acevedo Colón

Enid Marie Acevedo Colón (she/her/ella) is a Puerto Rican performer, stage manager, director, dancer, writer, academic, educator, and community organizer. She earned her B.F.A. in Theatre, double majoring in Politics and minoring in History with Theatre Studies Honors at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Enid's work expands within the intersections of performance and politics. She seeks to unlearn, reimagine, and deconstruct colonial practices of body, language, and land through movement, voice, and speech. Drawing from the scars, beauty, and history of growing up in a United States colony, she uses her craft to invite herself and viewers to envision and practice art and theory as weapons for social liberation.  Her final project at the Experimental Theatre Wing, Mi Familia de Elefantes, is an embodied ethnography in Spanglish about Puerto Rican matriarchs and their island. Other credits include an Off-Broadway performance at The Chain Theatre, Le Bijou de Paris, and ETW Mainstage Moving Forward Looking Back. She has head stage managed productions, including Tisch Student Works MARIPOSA, The Badass Latinas, and Our House on Mango Street, integrating artistic expression and critical theory to explore heritage, identity, coloniality, love, and survival. At NYU, she is the President of the Puerto Rican Student Association and Senator at Large for Latin American and Spanish-speaking students. In the summers, she serves as Head Team Advisor for the Middle School National Student Leadership Conference on Government and U.S. History in Washington, D.C. She is a passionate traveler, reader, and mover! De PR para el mundo!
