Peyvand Sadeghian operates as a self-employed sole trader. Your contribution directly supports the creation of high quality, socially engaged live performance and related public output. Recurring payments can be cancelled at any time. Your personal information will be handled securely and not shared with third parties.

With theatre and performance at the core of my practice, I create critically engaged work informed by my lived experience as a working-class artist with a red-brick university degree, a neurodivergent woman, and a Cockney-born-refugee who became an ambivalently proud Brit.

Despite establishing a career that encompasses theatre, film and television - from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to fringe theatres and community settings - I face ongoing structural barriers in sustaining an independent creative practice. The arts sector, contrary to its reputation, remains one of Britain's most unequal industries.

My work examines urgent social and political questions through experimental yet accessible performance and has been supported by prestigious organisations, won awards, and resonated strongly with audiences who wouldn't normally go to the theatre.

While personal reputation and industry recognition demonstrates the value and reach of this work, the reality of freelance artistry means constant financial precarity.

    In addition to being an incredible morale boost to me personally, each contribution helps build evidence of public support for future funding applications. Whether through one-off or monthly donations, your generosity helps build a more equitable arts sector while enabling bold and vital creative work to reach diverse audiences across the UK and internationally.
