Niyayesh is an Iranian artist based in Milan, Italy. She is a storyteller through various 

disciplines in the performing arts, both as a performer and choreographer. Her works are searching for possible visual folktales, cultural narratives,

anthropology, theatre, and voice choreography. She combines her experiences in choreography, ethnography, symbolist poetry, and Persian traditional vocal graphs in a series of perceptual performances.

Holding a master’s in urban planning and policy analysis from the Polytechnic University of Milan she is a researcher of landscape and dance-scape sketches in natural urban and semi-urban textures.
