Saudi Performance Artist working across dance, film, and photography

Currently, I'm growing Beitbee™, which aims to create, launch, and host original contemporary dance shows, films, and training. As part of this process, I hold Connection Labs with dancers and individuals from diverse backgrounds to develop performative works that are rooted in poetic storytelling that reflect people's narratives from today, history, and legends.

Additionally, I work on commissioned artworks and participate in Artist in Residencies.

Most recently, I represented KSA in Osaka Expo 2025 in the Saudi Pavilion after I had exhibited my artwork “What I heard in the valley” in the Islamic Biennale 2025 in Jeddah.

Throughout my career, I was also privileged to work with many great partners, such as Akram Khan Company, Dragone and Hwadi, and have performed in shows like Terhal, Elteqaa, and Zarqaa, produced by the Ministry of Culture.
