Nathalie Choubineh

I am a translator and a researcher in Classics, with publications on music, history, literature, and drama. A learning and research enthusiast with endless love for books and reading, I spent the first two decades of my career teaching music, including its history and theory, and on the transmission of useful and enjoyable books, articles, and encyclopedias from the English- and German-speaking spheres into my native Farsi (Persian) literary world. My research work is focused on ancient dances in and across the Hellenic and Iranian cultures, and I look closely into dance movements and the meaning(s) behind their artistic reproductions in painted and sculpted formats, believing that this complex language of visual and choreographic signs and their combinations can shed a light on the less visible and rarely visited corners of people's lives in the past.
