Featured Project

Girls & Dolls

"Girls & Dolls" features a piece I choreographed and performed with Liz Winkelaar, a fabulous dancer in wheelchair. The dance is based on theatrical games played by women in Iranian villages for hundreds of years. I have drawn on folklore research and choreographed the piece with strong elements of storytelling which appeals to wide audiences.
