Kunji Mark Ikeda

Kunji Mark Ikeda uses dance theatre to invite the community to experience and unfold the complexity of the human experience. Ikeda’s thorough pedagogical study of theatre and contemporary dance allows unfettered access to multi-faceted methods of storytelling and communal learning. He aims to redefine narratives of the body to demonstrate how physical communication can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

Ikeda is the Artistic Director of Cloudsway Dance Theatre and was a founding ensemble member of Making Treaty 7 and DSW’s Dance Action Group. He has multiple Betty Mitchell nominations for performance and choreography.
