Elmira (Co-Founder and Artistic Director - Élan Ensemble) started her acting career in her home country Iran, where she worked with some of the most prominent theatre companies. She believes her land has offered her a deep understanding of complexity and a great force to create art. After leaving her roots, she joined the USC MFA Acting program and met some of her most inspiring mentors. She has been working on stage, on camera and as a voiceover actor since her graduation.
