The Korea International Accessible Dance Festival, which began in 2016 with the aim of providing a platform for world-class disabled dancers and top-tier domestic artists to exchange and grow together, has now firmly established itself as a prestigious international dance festival despite certain obstacles and through relentless efforts.

We hope that KIADA will always serve as a valuable opportunity for disabled dance artists to fully unfold their potential and engage in artistic exchange through dance.

“Disabled people have been artists since birth.”
ㅡ Alice Shepherd, American dancer

It is already meaningful that disabled dancers express themselves as they are, and it is something completely new that cannot be seen in existing dances.
I support KIADA, a proud dance festival in Korea that breaks down the boundaries between disabled
and non-disabled people.
