Another Birth

Another Birth is a multi-disciplinary dance performance that transforms personal and family histories of exile into a visceral, poetic language of movement. Woven through the fearless words of Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad, the piece fuses contemporary dance, ballet, and Persian-inspired movement with archival recordings, light, and sound.

It is a work about resilience in the face of displacement, the beauty that survives censorship, and the universal longing for freedom.

Currently in development with The Dance Centre and slated for its world premiere in 2027. Another Birth is currently seeking paid residencies (5-8 artists), and looking for theatre & dance companies interested in presenting the piece on our 2027 - 2028 tour (5-8 artists).
