​As a performer and choreographer, I have worked in the entertainment industry with an enriching diversity of artists, including Andy Degroat, Bob Wilson, Michel Schweitzer, Company 14 :20, and more recently Dalila Belaza. As a self-taught dancer, I have developed and taught internationally a technique of undulating body movement, inspired by the moving curves and the relationship between voids and solids in the nature. As a natural extension of dance, I started Arabic and Persian calligraphy in 2017, which I learnt for 5 years in the traditional way from the Iranian master Bahman Panahi. These two disciplines come together in my work. The usual space of calligraphy is impacted by a sensitivity to movement inherited from dance. The incessant repetition of calligraphic movement is organised into a new form. The lines are compressed and linked together to create a new ‘weaving of tradition’. And the original meaning of the letters recedes behind the undulations of the whole. The works show both sides of the same quest: to organise signs into a new evocative object, and to give an abstract form the quality of a sign.
