"Clouds from a Crumbling Giant: our wild shining days has been evolving since 2022, in sporadic bursts, much of it created both remotely and online, methods the pandemic greatly expanded."
inkBoat, founded in 1998 by Shinichi Iova-Koga, has won six Isadora Duncan Dance Awards and continues to create innovative work. The upcoming piece, Clouds from a Crumbling Giant: our wild shining days, will be featured at the 2026 San Francisco International Arts Festival. The performance incorporates various elements beyond traditional Butoh dance, reflecting a broader artistic identity. The collaborative process involves six artists who utilize diverse movement practices, developed through remote and online methods since 2022, influenced by the pandemic's impact on creativity and collaboration.
