Teaching Journey

I currently teach at Ohio University, where I serve as an instructor and have taught courses including Contemporary American Playwrights, 21st-Century American Avant-Garde Theater, Hybrid Forms in American Theater, and Practicum in Dramaturgy. I have also taught Viewing the Arts as instructor of record across multiple semesters, and previously served as a teaching associate for Theater and Performance History I & II.
Prior to my work in the United States, I taught undergraduate and graduate courses in Iran at Drizhno University of Arts and Kamal-ol-Molk University. My courses included Advanced Directing, History of Theatre in Iran, Fundamentals of Directing, and Comparative Eastern and Western Theatre Theories, alongside a wide range of practice-based courses in acting, voice, movement, and performance techniques.
My teaching bridges theory and practice, with a focus on contemporary and avant-garde performance, dramaturgy, and theatre history. I emphasize critical thinking, collaborative learning, and creating an environment where students actively engage with performance as both an artistic and analytical practice.
