“Anna is the stone, the rock. This rock drops into the pool and we’re all the little ripples that move out from the impact of the rock on the surface of the water.” -Shinichi Iova-Koga

inkBoat cast members have flown in from around the world and rehearsals have begun for
95 Rituals

Reflecting on these first few days: "The information in the scores and about Anna fills us up. So we narrow, we select, we create frames inside frames. Today, Joshua Kohl tried to get comfortable on a thin piece of wood.  We clanged aluminum rod chimes by Dan Gottwald. Dana Iova-Koga danced the confusion between center and cancer. And Heekyung kicked down a door many times." -Shinichi


95 Rituals
 is a site-specific performance work by Shinichi Iova-Koga/inkBoat, dedicated to Anna Halprin, a visionary artist whose work radically expanded the purpose, process, and content of dance-making over seven decades.

95 Rituals will premiere in May-July 2015 in FREE performances at various locations in the Bay Area, culminating with Anna’s 95th birthday. 

May 21 @ Museum of Performance + Design
June 21 @ YBCA Forum, with guests the Kronos Quartet
June 27 @ Studio 1
July 7-11 @ Hyde Street Pier

See 95rituals.org for all the details


Your support of this project will go straight towards expenses for this large-scale event in honor of Anna. 

  • Artist Fees
  • Travel for guest artists
  • Installations
  • So much more!

inkboat members hail from Berlin (Yuko Kaseki and Sten Rudstrøm), Seoul (Heekyung Cho), Seattle (Joshua Kohl and Crow Nishimura) and the San Francisco Bay Area (Dohee Lee, Dana Iova-Koga, Shinichi Iova-Koga, Suki O’Kane, Sherwood Chen, Jason Ditzian, Allen Willner, Frank Lee and Amy Rathbone). At selected performances, inkBoat will be joined by guest artists, including Kronos Quartet, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, We Players, Max Baloian, Dan Gottwald, Tim Kim, Katherine McDonald, Oguri, Roxanne Steinberg and others.


Words from Shinichi:
 “To honor somebody’s life is a big endeavor. There’s no way to make a piece that encapsulates Anna Halprin. Just no way. What we CAN do is this: examine the intentions of her life, her effect, really, on the dance community... and on the art community in general. There are different Anna’s honestly. Where she is right now as she approaches age 95 is different from where she was when she was 30, 40, 50 years old, etc. etc."

Help us create dance legacy and offer support at whatever level you can!
