Bouchra Ouizguen is an award-winning Moroccan dancer and choreographer who lives and works in Marrakech, where she has been developing the local dance scene for nearly 20 years. She is self-taught and has been an oriental dancer since she was 16. Her first experimental pieces, such as Ana Ounta or Mort et moi, were inspired by her interests in cinema, literature and music. She co-founded the Anania association in 2002 with Taoufiq Izeddiou and has worked with Mathilde Monnier, Bernardo Montet, Boris Charmatz and Alain Buffard before she founded her own company, Company O. Her interests in society, visual arts and popular arts in her country inform her work, where multiple forms emerge through the use of sound, performance and video.
