Hair uncovered and hands painted red, Iranian-born choreographer Parmida Ziaei dances in the streets and on stage to show her support for demonstrators more than 6,000 miles from her home in Seattle
for allegedly flouting the Islamic Republic's strict dress code imposed on women.
At one street protest, Ziaei and two other performers, one Iranian and one American, wore red skirts and painted their hands red to symbolize the blood that has been shed. Ziaei, who also performs solo, incorporates into her performances a pair of songs that have become anthems of the Iranian movement: "Baraye" by Shervin Hajipour, with lyrics derived from the tweets of protesters, and "Zan, Zendegi Azadi" by an anonymous woman demanding rights.
Some of the Iranian demonstrators have defiantly danced in the streets as part of the latest protests in the country.
