Soheil Parsa
Soheil Parsa is an award-winning director,
actor, writer, dramaturge, choreographer and teacher, whose professional
theatre career spans twenty-nine years and two continents. In his native
Iran, Soheil completed studies in theatre performance at the University
of Tehran and began a promising career as an actor and director. Arriving
in Canada with his family in 1984, Soheil completed a second Bachelor
of Arts in theatre studies at York University and then went on to establish
Modern Times Stage Company as one of the most exciting culturally-diverse
theatre companies in Canada. As a director, set and stage designer,
translator, adaptor, choreographer and actor, Soheil’s work is based
on his experience in Iran and focuses on oppression and loss of freedom
(especially loss of speech). His art is created to empower those who
are often marginalized and under-represented.
