Alina Sakko (she/her) is a dance artist interested in researching the accessibility of contemporary dance on experiential and conceptual levels. Through her performance practice she asks and practices what it means to be ‘fully something now’. Her choreographies are dances between the concrete and the abstract, visiting recognisable imagery and poetic landscapes while enjoying casual spectacles. She is interested in kinesthetic empathy as a possibility for dialogue.
Alina is one of the founding members of MOŸ MOŸ collective, an international artistic support network and a chair of the board of Reality Research Centre. Her work has been presented for example at Moving in November -festival (Helsinki, FI), Art Ii Biennial (Ii, FI), Kontula Senior Center (Helsinki, FI), Yötön Nattlös Festival (Haparanda, SWE) and Resolution Festival (London, UK).
After starting her career by dancing for various ballet companies, Sakko went on to continue studying at London Contemporary Dance School, where she graduated with BA (Hons) in contemporary dance. As a performer she's been lately working with Routa Company, MimoArt Company, Taneli Törmä / Location X and Vilma Tihilä.
