Bio
I am an Iranian video artist and dance filmmaker currently based in Paris. My journey in
dance spans over a decade, during which I have mastered various styles such as ballet,
contemporary, hip-hop, salsa, bachata, tango, and traditional Iranian folklore. I hold a degree
in Art from Azad University in Tehran and have furthered my education with specialized
courses in Paris and the United States. Over the years, I have performed and choreographed
numerous pieces, including notable performances in international festivals. In recent years, I
have transitioned into creating dance videos, merging my passion for movement with visual
storytelling. As I continue to teach and perform in Paris, I am dedicated to exploring new
creative avenues in dance and film, sharing my unique artistic vision with audiences
worldwide.
Pebbles Underground is focused on showcasing and promoting experimental, avant-garde, underground, and no-to-low budget projects by artist-humans from all over the world. Absurd, uncanny, witty, humorous, slow-video – all are welcomed, and loved. Pebbles Underground is an independent project not funded by any government or corporation, and we intend to keep it that way. Main source of funding is personal donations from humans organizing the project, who are artists themselves, and the main drive of the project is formed by the energy and involvement of the organizers, and the public.
