inkBoat, founded in 1998, continually invites in the collaborative voices of artists who meet in uncertain territories. The company brings together disperate backgrounds in Noh Theater, Coporeal Mime, Butoh Dance, Physical Theater, and unconventional orchestrations involving acoustic instruments, sound design and nostalgic wonderment.
Shinichi Iova-Koga directs this rumination on being and non-being in collaboration with Dana Iova-Koga, Jubilith Moore, Dan Cantrell, Elke Luyten, Cass Tunick, Adria Otte, Mari Osanai, Allen Willner and KT Nelson.
Additional collaborators include Pamela Z, Khatchadour Khatchadourian, Suki O’Kane, Shahzad Ismaily, Kaori Yamashita, Edward Schocker, Brian Collentine, Jon Raskin, Ann Dragich, Eileen Housteau, Erin Carper, Joy Cosculluela, Mary Parks, Carla Kihlstedt, Crow Nishimura, Joshua Kohl, Jackson Kao, Maia, Elizabeth Pasquale, Jim Koester and members of EMBODIMENT PROJECT!
