inkBoat, a physical theatre and dance company founded by Shinichi Iova-Koga in 1998, performs Clouds from a Crumbling Giant. This choreographic project combines traditional practices of Daoist Internal Arts with inkBoat’s performance-devising practices (rooted in the Japanese avant-garde), delves into the nature and quality of a body nearing the end of its run, and speculates on the afterlife and the tenderness of recognizing fellow travelers.

Shinichi Iova-Koga directs this work in collaboration with Jubilith Moore, Dana Iova-Koga, Dan Cantrell, Ellen Sebastian Chang, the inkBoat company and Hudson Valley residents, playfully touching on the nature of being and non-being.

Choreographer Sheldon Smith said of inkBoat’s These are the Ones We Fell Among: a captivating, haunting and bizzare dreamscape–like Dr. Seuss meets David Lynch on the last days of a bankrupt circus.
