Alina Sakko (she/her) is a dance artist interested in 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's work has been presented for example at Moving in November -festival (Helsinki, FI), Art Ii Biennial (Ii, FI), Gallery Huuto (Helsinki, FI), Kontula Senior Center (Helsinki, FI), Kinosalonki Sofia (Raahe, FI), Yötön Nattlös Festival (Haparanda, SWE) and Resolution Festival (London, UK). 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.
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 Liisa Pentti +Co, Bita Razavi, Routa Company, MimoArt Company, Taneli Törmä / Location X and Vilma Tihilä.
