Biography



Ahmad Nikazar the Iranian artist whose works are known in diverse areas of art as a photographer, Film maker, actor, playwright, screenplay writer, film / theatre director, had started his career with experimental activities since he was a student during high school studies with theatrical activities.
The first play which he produced was performed through the regional competition between local education authorities in Tehran which called “Amo Zanjir Buff” (Uncle the Chain Maker) that it was written by Parviz Basher Doost.
Nick Azar believes this play caused a long term friendship and cooperation with Bashar Doost that last for years.
The acquaintance of outstanding actor of cinema and theatre “Haddi Islami” the late who paved Ahmad’s way towards the Theatre Department was a plot point in his life as he could get knows Abbass Javanmard the founder of the National Theatre who led him to get his first considerable experience with a professional theatre group.
During this period of time, he could simultaneously manage to establish an independent theatre group along with his fellows who were a group of enthusiastic young theatre lovers.
They hired a small salon to make their own rehearsals and soon after this gathering resulted in production of two plays;
“Shab-e- tavil-e-tolou” (The long night dawn) and
“Khan-e-barani” (The Rainy House) that both were written by a young talented Playwright Faramarz Talebi.
These two plays accordingly were performed at “Ab-e- anbar-e- said Ismaeil” (A famous traditional theatre at Tehran) and
“The Performance House of the Theatre Department”.
A few years later, when he completed his film studies at a new established film school which called “The Iran’s Youths Cinema” he could begin to produce his films at this centre where was associated with the Ministry of Art and Culture.
The film/theatre productions of his company “ the Ravand Centre” still could survive despite the suppressive atmosphere and obstructionism of the Islamic regime after 1357(1979)
Uprising but his resistance could not stand any longer and persecution caused of his migration.
Nick Azar since settled in Germany tried to activate the Ravand as a centre for artistic activities and he could manage to produce films and videos alongside of the people who joined to the Ravand Centre to assist him to run the theatre and literature division.
