Bouchra Ouizguen

Bouchra Ouizguen is a Moroccan dancer and choreographer, born in 1980 in Ouarzazate. She lives and works in Marrakech, where she has been actively contributing to the development of the local choreographic scene since 1998. Her work is enriched by her interests in cinema, literature, and music.

In the groundbreaking Madame Plaza (SACD Choreographic Revelation Award), she shares the stage with artists rooted in the Aïta tradition. She continued her collaboration with these artists in Ha! (2013). In February 2014, she created Corbeaux, a sculpture-like piece for 17 dancers, presented at the Art In Marrakech Biennale. In 2015, she brought together four artists who had previously participated in her works to create Ottof. In 2017, she conceived Jerada for the dancers of Carte Blanche, the Norwegian National Contemporary Dance Company (Critics’ Award for Best Dance Performance in Norway).

In 2022, she created Eléphant, a choreographic and musical work. They Always Come Back, a performance designed for and with a group of amateur participants, was presented during the 2025 edition of the Festival d’Avignon. Her works have been shown internationally at institutions such as the Tate Modern, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Power Station of Art in Shanghai.
