Tales of Persia
Tales of Persia is the collection of modern stage productions conveying Persian culture traditions and folklore through dance music theater and art. Each production is intended to be moved to and performed in the major metropolitan locations where the most Iranian Americans live. Offering Iranians a source of pride and cultural contribution to America allowing their friends and neighbors to learn about true Persian culture.
The medium of dance and music, communal gathering, and joy in life, is our gift to the variety that makes America strong. The dance itself, under the direction of Niosha, the artistic director of NDA, working together with award winning guest choreographer, Jamal, is designed to allow the flexibility to include new elements, within its core framework, ensuring the performance is kept fresh and new whenever it is performed. The famed French author, Dumas, and infamous Russian composer Tchaikovsky, gave the world "The Nutcracker" to celebrate Christmas. We will now endeavor to bring "The Story of Nowruz" to celebrate Spring, Family, Poetry, and Community. The scale of this project will be larger than anything we have attempted before.
