Приєднався 23 сер 2013
Melieka Fathi is a choreographer and performer of Classical and Contemporary Iranian dance. Her unique choreography style is defined as a blend of historic roots and diasporic inspirations. As the daughter of Iranian immigrants, her passion for dance was paved through a sacred connection to Iranian arts, and by the exploration of her identity as an Iranian-American woman.
She is the founder and artistic director of the Melieka Fathi Dance Company based in Los Angeles, California. The company was founded in 2017 with a desire to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity through dance. All company dancers are trained in Classical Iranian dance as well as varying Western and Eastern styles. The company’s primary focus is to foster collaborations with world-renowned artists and organizations in an effort to preserve and expand upon Iranian arts within diaspora communities.

BAZR | Erfan, Asadi, & Melieka for Farhang Foundation
We were honored to collaborate with Farhang Foundation this Nowruz, for a live performance of “Bazr.”
“Bazr,” an original composition by Erfan (@erfanpaydar) and ASADI (@dannyasadi), speaks to the notion of rebirth and growth, fitting to both the sentiment of Nowruz as well as our collective desire for freedom in Iran through the revolution that is currently in place. This live, one-take performance was inspired by the rooftop performances of artists living in Iran, specifically women, who use these environments to display their craft as they are often not allowed to in the public sphere. We wish for the day that all Iranian artists can create and perform freely in their homelands.

With every movement, we aimed to capture the strength, resilience, and elegance Iranian women possess. We are so grateful to Arrad and his team for including us in this impactful project. As we all know, the Iranian revolution is still in progress. W...

"Kereshmeh" Coquetry کرشمه “Kereshmeh” tells the story of the controversial nature of womanhood. In this film, womanhood is defined as an ongoing narrative of power, influence, fear, and suppression. The social and political silencing of women results in a loss of touch with their inherit power. A power so captivating, it must be veiled in order to be contained. Music: Alireza Ghorbani, Scent o...

What she is doing is not sufism. Sufism is a faith, not just dancing in front of the audience.
This is the spirituality I aspire as a female in religion. And still there would be some people to judge and force their beliefs.
بهترینی

I’m proud Tajik from balkh Afghanistan rumi birth place ❤
😍 awesome
رقص بسیار قشنگیست و رقصندگان هم به زیبایی اجرا کردند. خیلی از رقص های محلی ایران مانند همین رقص از کار و تلاش روزمره خود مردم مثل کار در زمین کشاورزی الهام گرفته شده و حرکاتی که به کاشت نشای برنج یا پاک کردن برنج در سینی اشاره دارد را می توان در این رقص مشاهده کرد. پاینده باد فرهنگ زیبای تک تک اقوام ایرانی در هر نقطه از ایران عزیز.
Excellent Work who is singer
