Fabrice
The Swiss dancer Fabrice Mazliah has been working as a choreographer for over 20 years. His choreographies and performance installations explore processes of embodiment of thoughts and actions, as well as poetic ways of reinventing the relationships between our environment, its objects, its atmospheres, language and our bodies. Fabrice Mazliah was born in Geneva in 1972 and studied at the Geneva School of Dance, at Brigitte Matteuzzi's dance school, at the Rudra Béjart School in Lausanne and at the National School of Dance in Athens. He was a member of the Nederlands Dans Theater from 1994. For almost two decades, Mazliah was a member of the Ballet Frankfurt/The Forsythe Company (1997-2015), which was directed by the choreographer William Forsythe. From then on, his interest in combining choreographic work and artistic research began. He founded the collective MAMAZA with Ioannis Mandafounis and May Zahry (2010-2014), the ensemble HOOD (2016-2018) and Work of Act (2018). Mazliah's choreographic work has been produced and presented internationally, including at Swiss Dance Days; PACT Zollverein, Essen; DeSingel Theatre, Antwerp; Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Brussels; Lyon Opera Ballet; Théâtre de la Ville, Paris; and Venice Architecture Biennale. In 2024, Mazliah is Artist in Residence at Künstler:innenhaus Mousonturm and the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt. Mazliah lives in Basel and Frankfurt am Main.
