Nacera Belaza is an Algerian-born Parisian whose choreographic work explores minimalism and Algerian cultural practice through sensorial and kinesthetic strategies.
After her studies in modern literature at the Université de Reims, she created her own dance company in 1989. In January 2015 she was appointed Chevalier de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.
Her choreography originates from an interior awareness of the body, of space, and of the emptiness inside herself. Belaza’s feminist, minimalist aesthetic exploits formalism to reveal layers of embodiment and body politics.
