Improvisation: between & beneath

Improvisation with Izabela Iza Soldaty

A!KO TANZ presents Improvisation Workshop <<between & beneath>>


Izabela Iza Soldaty, a Vienna-based performer and movement creator known for her innovative interdisciplinary work, will guide the upcoming workshop about improvisation!



Workshop #1 25. AUGUST 10:00 - 12:00 @Sonnenstein LOFT

                 #2 26. AUGUST 10:00 - 12:00 @Sonnenstein LOFT

                        

This workshop offers a space to explore non-verbal communication through movement, touch, sound, gestures, and presence. We will tune into our bodies, with a special focus on grounding and gravity, allowing these forces to guide us into deeper awareness and connection. As we awaken the flow of potential within, we’ll move into improvised dialogues in solos, duos and various group constellations. Together, we’ll fill the spaces between us, weaving our limbs into stories that speak without words. Elements of improvisation, contact improvisation, and sound exploration will support our journey into embodied expression.

A!KO TANZ FEST was founded in 2022 by Lee Jung In CREATION (Director: Lili Jung In Lee / KR, AT) and Co-Producer Damian Cortes Alberti, 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 Tanzhafen Festival, 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.
