A!KO TANZ FEST was founded in 2022 marking the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Austria and Korea. The festival’s mission is to present curated international dance works, celebrate the art of dance, and offer audiences a space for connection, dignity, and joy through movement. A!KO also supports emerging dance artists in expanding their reach onto the global stage and fosters inclusive dance experiences that bring people together. As a bridge for international dance exchange rooted in the Linz dance community, A!KO continues to grow through collaborations with global artists and presents diverse dance programs annually in both Austria and Korea, expanding into a larger global community from 2025 on. The festival is supported by tanzhafenFESTIVAL, Redsapata Kulturinitiative, SONNENSTEIN LOFT, Gangwon Arts & Culture Foundation, Arts Council Korea, and operates in strong partnership with CID Vienna Section, Anton Bruckner Private University, and the Rosenberg Dance Festival.
