De Grote Belgische Dansvitrine

Chokri Ben Chikha

Chokri Ben Chikha is an international theatre producer/choreographer. Since 2007 he has been a lecturer and artistic researcher at HoGent’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK). From this background, he founded the performance group Action Zoo Humain in 2009, of which he continues to be the artistic leader. He obtained his PhD in the Arts in 2013. Apart from being a post-graduate researcher and lecturer (KASK/School of Arts/HoGent), he is also an actor and director/choreographer.

“Why do I like to engage with projects such as The Great Belgian Dance Showcase? Encounters between younger and older generations of actors and producers are enriching, and therefore indispensable for both groups. It is exciting to artistically meet a younger generation, which often believes it is more intelligent than the previous one, and that it has more wisdom than the one following.”
