Andrea Bou Othmane is a self-taught Italian-Tunisian choreographer and movement artist. Born in Monza, Italy, Bou Othmane’s dance journey started in 2009 with electro dance, a natural extension of his friend group at the time. He progressed rapidly, eventually becoming the 1:1 Italian champion in this dance style. Bou Othmane has appeared in a vast array of creative projects and shows on a global scale. In 2019 he spent one month touring Africa with the show Mirrors, produced by Griot Magazine.

Since 2022, he has been working for Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s Eastman, where he premiered the duet creation Antidote for the 90th Anniversary Gala of Jacob’s Pillow. In the same year, he appeared in the revival of the musical Starmania by Michel Berger and Luc Plamondon, directed by Thomas Jolly, and as the lead dancer in Sutra by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, produced by Sadler’s Wells.

In 2023, Bou Othmane collaborated with Cherkaoui on the opera Hanjo at Bayerische Staatsoper, the Dom Pérignon campaign featuring Lady Gaga (directed by Woodkid), THE LOUBI SHOW IV for Christian Louboutin at Paris Fashion Week, and performed a solo at the Ultimas awards ceremony in honor of Cherkaoui. In 2024, he continued his work with Eastman at the Grand Théâtre de Genève in Idomeneo and in the ballet creation Ihsane.

Most recently, he was featured as lead dancer in Jorja Smith’s Try Me music video, which won the UK MVA 2023 for Best R&B / Soul Video. He also performs regularly with Swedish singer-songwriter Loreen, in choreography by Mecnun Giasar, at high-profile televised events such as Los 40 Music Awards (Madrid), NRJ Music Awards (Cannes), and The National Lottery’s New Year’s Eve Big Bash (London).

Alongside the performance work, he develops choreographic creations with his creative partner Ariadna Navarrete Valverde through their shared project Archivo 259, focused on research-based movement and collaborative stage work.
