Claire Croizé (born 1977) is a French dancer and choreographer based in Brussels. She is notable for her work within the collective Action Scénique and ECCE, collaborating with artists Nada Gambier and Etienne Guilloteau. A common theme in Croizé's work is the relationship between dance, music and light.

Training
Croizé trained between 1997 and 2000 at the dance school PARTS, founded by Belgian choreographer Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker. After graduating from PARTS, Croizé began developping choreographic material at the Antwerp based residency space wpZimmer.

Action Scénique
In 2008 Croizé created the association Action Scénique together with artists Nada Gambier and Etienne Guilloteau as a result of their shared artistic vison and way of developing dance and performance material. They met whilst studying at PARTS. The association represented their choreographic works both individually and collectively. The name Action Scénique was derived from Azione Scenica, a genre of opera, used "to express a rupture with the traditional opera of earlier times: away from the narrative and illusionary drama and back to the here and now of the stage".

From 2016, Action Scènique is no longer in action. Croizé and Guilloteau continue to work together within their association ECCE.

ECCE
ECCE is an association founded by Claire Croizé and Etienne Guilloteau in 2016. ECCE is an acronym of Etienne Claire Claire Etienne. Within ECCE, Croizé has created her own works as well as collaborations with Guilloteau. Music, especially live music, is a continuous theme in both Croizé's own creations and her collaborations with Guilloteau. Together they have worked with music ensembles B’Rock, MP4 and collaborated with the venue International Mozarteum Foundation.

Teaching
Croizé has also taught dance workshops to different audiences. Some of the places where she has given workshops include PARTS (Brussels), the International Dance Dialogues(New York) organised by Movement Research, and at the art centre STUK (Leuven).

Choreography
Croizé's work explores emotions and her creative process often happens in silence, where her dancers utilise their own musicality in order to develop a personal movement language. Croizé also works with live music in works such as Vor deinem Thron, a solo based on the last compositions of Bach (2010, Klarafestival/Kaaitheater) and in Chant éloigné (2012), a group piece based on music by composers of the Second Viennese School. In EVOL (2016,STUK) a piece for four dancers, uses music by David Bowie. The title of the dance is borrowed from the album Evol by the group Sonic Youth.
