Fabrice Mazliah
Fabrice Mazliah is a Swiss choreographer, performer, and teacher based between Basel and Frankfurt. Over the past two decades, he has developed a body of work situated at the intersection of movement, language, perception, and relational practices. His choreographies and performance installations explore how bodies are shaped through their continuous interaction with objects, materials, atmospheres, technologies, and other living systems. After many years as a performer and collaborator with William Forsythe and The Forsythe Company, Mazliah developed an independent artistic practice grounded in improvisation, embodied knowledge, compositional thinking, and collaborative processes. His works often place the experience of the observer and receiver at their centre, opening spaces where multiple perspectives, forms of attention, and modes of relation can coexist. Combining movement and language, his projects seek to develop poetic and perceptual forms that question boundaries between bodies, environments, objects, and systems of meaning. Alongside his artistic work, he regularly teaches and mentors internationally in the fields of choreography, improvisation, movement research, and composition. His work unfolds between Frankfurt, Basel, and international contexts.
