DON”T MISS IT!!!! It won’t happen again in the Bay Area; a truly special event...
Bringing together the worlds of sound, vision, and movement, Glass Head will explore the realms of 21st-century assumptions, oppositions, and suspicions—the sanctity of thoughts, protection vs. isolation, stability and fragility, and more. With artistic roots in the U.S., Japan, Europe, and beyond, this expansive, evening-length work will inspire both surprise and
sudden recognition, as these facets of contemporary life take shape on-stage as we experience them in our daily lives: in the moment, and without warning.
inkBoat’s performance style is a hybrid of traditional and experimental dance and theater forms weaved within Physical Theater and Japanese Butoh Dance. Their productions involve the collaborative voices of musicians, visual artists, dancers and actors who have become both sonically and physically interactive since 1994. inkBoat artist Shinichi Momo Koga’s work has for years been informed by collaborations with artists representing other artistic disciplines and cultures such as Yumiko Yoshioka and TEN PEN CHii (Germany: 1996-2001), Do Theatre (Russia: 1997-present), and Shadowlight Theatre (USA: 1993-1997).
