Sanam Tahmasebi is a Tehran born, Amsterdam based vocalist, multi instrumentalist, composer, performer and interdisciplinary maker. Her work moves through voice, sound, movement, text and performance, drawing from Persian musical memory, jazz, improvisation, electroacoustic sound and collaborative stage practices. Across music theatre, dance, film, installation and live performance, she explores memory, nature, transformation, expression and resistance, often using the voice as a central force for carrying personal and shared narratives. She studied classical guitar at Tehran Art University, jazz voice at Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Milan, and jazz vocal and composition at the Prince Claus Conservatoire in Groningen. Her work has been presented at festivals and venues including Oerol, Gaudeamus, International Theater Amsterdam, Into the Great Wide Open, Le Guess Who and Uitmarkt.  

For Light has teeth, she collaborates with Roshanak Morrowatian, an Iran born dancer, performer and choreographer based in the Netherlands. Roshanak holds a Bachelor of Arts in Dance and a Master of Arts in Dance Composition and Interpretation from Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen. Her work moves between performance, choreography and embodied research, exploring identity, borders, belonging, the physicality of memory and the experience of a body in diaspora.
