Speakers / Trainers


Radouan Mriziga

is a choreographer and dancer from Marrakech based in Brussels. He started to develop his practice in Marrakech and in Tunis, before joining P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels where he graduated in 2012. Since then onward, he started to create his own oeuvre from which he received support from Moussem Nomadic Arts Center until 2019 and Kaaitheater were he was an artist-in-residence from 2017 to 2021. Currently Radouan is house-artist in de Singel in Antwerp and develops his works within his own company A7LA5. His latest pieces are: Atlas, Libya, Akal, Ayur, Tafukt, and Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione a collaboration with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. In his works, he explores the relation between space, architecture, the body and its connection to mind and intellect and, more recently, the use of performance as a tool to produce and share knowledge about forgotten and repressed narratives.

External Guests :

The training program will feature the intervention of guest mentors, who will offer profound insights and guidance during specific sessions such as masterclasses, workshops, and critical discussions. These external guests, including national and international choreographers or theorists, will contribute to the training process, enriching participants' understanding and perspective. Their involvement will complement the guidance provided by Radouan Mriziga, focusing on the creative process and the organization of the body within different spatial contexts.
