Bouchra Ouizguen (1980, Ouarzazate) is a leading figure in contemporary dance in Morocco. A self-taught dancer since age 16, she lives and works in Marrakech, actively contributing to the local choreographic scene since 1998. She co-founded the association Anania in 2002 and established Compagnie O in 2010. Her international recognition came with Madame Plaza, earning her the SACD Choreographic Revelation Award and the Critics’ Prize in France. She has since created landmark works including Voyage Cola (with Alain Buffard), Ha! — presented at Montpellier Danse Festival and the Centre Pompidou — and Corbeaux, which inspired installations at the MUCEM. Other notable works include Ottof (2015), Jerada (2017, Carte Blanche, Norway), Éléphant ou le temps suspendu (2019, Rabat Biennale), and Éléphant (2022, Kunstenfestivaldesarts).
