2017 · Evergreen Cultural Centre
A full-length company show that Chichak planned, produced, and performed. The Journey told the story of immigration — of leaving, of carrying a homeland in the body, of finding footing on a new stage. Movement, music, and memory braided into a single evening.

at the STAND Festival
A story of three female dancers in Iran and how they found themselves through dance — inside the country and out. Choreography that presses against walls until the walls stop mattering. A piece about restriction, resistance, and the freedom the body insists on.
Folk Repertoire
The Yellow Bride
A lament in motion — a bride parted from her beloved. Restrained gesture, the weight of silk.
Warrior's Dance
Fast, precise, fearless. A traditional Caucasian dance of fire and footwork — the body as blade, the floor as drum.
With the instruments
Dancers become musicians. Frame drum and saz fold into the choreography until rhythm and movement are indistinguishable.
