My Story
Hi, I'm Riham Isaac
A performance artist from Palestine.
My practice weaves together movement, voice, objects, video, and sound to create live and multidisciplinary performance work across theatre, public space, installations, and site-specific contexts. Through themes of gender, politics, resistance, and collective imagination, I tell stories often misrepresented — challenging prevailing perceptions, embracing risk-taking, and provoking change within audiences.
I am currently leading my practice research project at the University of Exeter, driven by the question of how Palestinian land might be performed in moments of urgency and crisis. This work bridges activism and performance, asking what art can do in the face of ongoing injustice.
I am passionate about collaboration — with artists, activists, researchers, and communities — and always open to new projects and conversations. If you'd like to explore working together, I'd love to hear from you.
I am passionate about developing and leading workshops for diverse groups — including artists, youth, women, students, community organisations, and institutions.
My workshops draw on performance, movement, embodied practice, and multidisciplinary approaches to give participants creative tools and the freedom to express themselves. I also collaborate with organisations to design customised programmes that respond to their specific context and needs.
If you are interested in working together on a workshop or training programme, I would love to hear from you.
