Evocation of Butoh, mini Butoh Festival in Melbourne
9-20 March 2017As a part of AsiaTOPA, Evocation of Butoh is a mini festival to activate artistic and cultural exchange in the performance art of Butoh with local arts communities in Melbourne.
EVOCATION OF BUTOHPERFORMANCE,FORUM and WORKSHOP 9-20 MARCH 2017
Evocation of Butoh is a mini festival with the aim of activating artistic and cultural exchange between international artists and local arts communities in Melbourne through the performance art of Butoh. This genre of dance/theatre was started in the late 50’s in Japan in the aftermath of WWII. Butoh, originally called the ‘Dance of Darkness’, finds expression through dance and movement for the visible and invisible states of living. This is a unique opportunity for audiences in Melbourne to experience sublime works by local and international practitioners: a diaspora of artists who left their countries of origin to extend their practice in contemporary society.Intensive workshops, a public forum and an artists’ talk will also be presented to stimulate discourse around what Butoh is now in Australia.

PopUp Tearoom Series@ FOLA
2 -10 March @ Arts HouseDurational performance ins dreamlike installations with a Japanese tearoom.Through a series of tea ceremonies, Yumi and her collaborating artists invite you to ingest their unique teas of sereniTea, deformiTea, sensualiTea and more!
一服いかがですか ?Would you like a cup of tea? Enter a dreamlike installation space, where traditional, surreal and virtual tearooms pop up unannounced. Through a series of tea ceremonies, Yumi Umiumare and her collaborating artists invite you to ingest their unique teas of sereniTea, deformiTea, sensualiTea and more. Traditionally, tea-ceremony rooms had a small door which visitors bowed to enter, dropping the hierarchies of the world outside. In times of war, Medieval Samurai had to leave their swords outside as the tearoom provided relief from the emotional stress and social disorder of the battlefield.
Curious about what sort of ‘Tea’we can make today, Umiumare invokes the Japanese notion of ‘ma’ or ‘active pause’ to explore deep presence in spaces that can be simultaneously reflective and provocative

Melaka:27(Fri) November2015 White DayDream#2 by Yumi Umiumare and Bambang N Karim
Our memories are like a heritage but our brain could hemorrhage. White Day Dream is a series of experimentations of visual poetries inspired by Yumi’s own experience of her brother who had a cerebral hemorrhage. Our idea of reality blurs fluctuates and we try to substitute it with our own visionary fantasy and imagination. Is it really happening right in front of us or are we daydreaming? What if our piled up memories were suddenly erased.
PopUp Tearoom Series Pop-up Tearoom series is an experimentation of site-specific performances/installation, exploring surreal, mysterious, slightly odd and ‘mismatched’ tea ceremony in the middle of town. The pop up mobile space will be appeared in the different locations in order to create ephemeral and dreamlike spaces. Viewer’s perspectives and their internal feelings are purposely provoked and it activates cultural encounters and personal interactions.

Yumi is in the Hipbones Sticking Out
by BighART
Fri 17 – Tue 21 Oct 2014 @ Arts Center Melbourne Playhouse
When 16-year-old Yindjibarndi man John Pat died in a Roebourne lockup in 1983, it was more than a singular tragedy – it was part of a longer story, one that for 150 years had denied Indigenous people in the Pilbara the power to speak.
Hipbone Sticking Out takes us on a dreamlike journey through history: from Greco-Roman myths, tall ships, terra nullius, pearlers, pastoralists, slavery and exotic minerals to the lives of the Pat family in Roebourne – the here and now.
