About Medea
Medea Mahdavi - Medea was born in Iran and moved to England as a teenager. She has developed a style of dance, which unites the fluidity, and spirituality of the Persian tradition with the sensuous earthiness of the other Middle Eastern styles. Medea combines contemporary, classical and folk elements reflected not only in her dance but also in the diversity of her repertoire of music, costume and make-up. Persian literature, her own rich life experience and her acute perceptions are the resources for Medea's expressive work.
