Based in Oslo, Hediyeh is an Iranian dancer, choreographer and dance scholar. Her productions engage in a creative-critical remapping of experience, questioning the current accepted socio-political patterns to envision an alternative understanding of the present. Her works are characterised by long term engagement in Iranian embodied cultures and movement vocabulary. Site-specific, as a spatial alternative mode, informs her recent productions: Lupiner (2022), Recite the City (2021), The Moss (2018).

​

Hediyeh has an MA in dance anthropology, from a consortium of four European universities (NTNU, UCA, SZTE, RoU), with the focus on site-specific, audience-participatory performances.

​

As both artist and curator, Hediyeh had several national and international collaborations with Khoj (India), Goethe Institute (Germany), Nordic Black Theater (Oslo), RIFF Dance Festival/R.E.D Residency (Eina), Scenekunstbruket (Norway) and Rommen Scene (Oslo) among others.

She has received  awards such as the Appreciated director and Best Experimental Performer.
