Alina Sakko

Alina Sakko is a Finnish dance artist and a member of MOŸ MOŸ collective, Improv Now collective and a board member of Reality Research Centre. Since graduating from London Contemporary Dance School, she has worked as a performer with Routa Company, MimoArt Company, Kajaani City Theatre, Pori Dance Company, Taneli Törmä / Location X and developed her choreographic practice. Her creative work has been supported by Arts Promotion Centre Finland and Samuel Huber Art Foundation. At the centre of  Alina's artistic practice is to research the accessibility of contemporary dance on experiential and conceptual levels.

'Through choreography I explore and wish to share the bodily experience of 'fully something now?'. I dance between concrete and abstract, while visiting poetic landscapes and playing with recognisable imagery and elements of spectacle. With these components I try to create a pathway for the audience to get on a journey with the performer to share also abstract movement and experiences. I'm interested in kinesthetic empathy as a possibility for dialogue'.
