His path

He was born in Tetouan on February 15, 1966, and settled in Tangiers. After obtaining his bachelor's degree from Zainab Al-Nafzweyya High School in Tangiers, he studied at the English Language Department at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities in Tétouan. Amin traveled to England to obtain a master's degree from the University of Essex.

After obtaining his master's degree from the University of Essex in modern literature, he returned to Morocco and worked as a professor of higher education in 1993. Khalid Amin was keen to study the arts of Moroccan and Arab Performance and to introduce it to the whole world, based on the idea that a performance is human practice, not confined to a specific culture. In 2000, he discussed his doctoral thesis in comparative literature in which he studied Shakespeare in Moroccan Theater under the joint supervision of England and Morocco.

Khalid Amin founded the International Center for Performance Studies, which was initially linked to the Research Group in Theater and Drama at the Faculty of Arts in Tetouan. He established partnerships with Moroccan and international research and performance centers, including the University of London and the "International Research Center for the Interweaving of Performance Cultures" at the University of Berlin, founded by German theater scholar Erika Fischer Lichte.[3]
