ABOUT DASSHOKU SHAKE
Be ready to get lost in this funky cross cultural emo shake up! DasSHOKU SHAKE! is the fourth work in the award winning DasSHOKU repertoire - the unique culture-crushing dementia, which has been recognized by audiences in sell-out seasons nationally and internationally since 1999. Dasshoku means ‘to bleach’.
Butoh Punkess Yumi Umiumare ignites her next infamous DasSHOKU Cabaret, bursting from the shaking earth. Osaka's legendary Theatre Gumbo, international guest artists from Japan plus four of Melbourne’s shock-toy acolytes bring things of darkness out into footlights. Jap-pop and white mysticism assault Buddhist Heart sutra! Comic! Bizarre!
Does devastation transform us, cleanse us or bleach us?

Ngapartji Ngapartji at Canberra Theatre 25-28 July 2012
From the shelter of an isolated and timeless existence in the vast desert centre of our country, to a confrontation with the strange new world of non-indigenous Australia, Trevor Jamieson traces his family’s story through the 20th Century.The phrase 'Ngapartji Ngapartji' has no exact Western translation; it loosely translates as 'I give you something, you give me something' and captures the spirit of this generous virtuosic piece of theatre.
With a gentle touch, Trevor invites us into his family’s epic story, sharing this journey through word, song, movement and film of his family’s almost unbelievable encounters with the non-indigenous world. From his extended family’s strong cultural life, their first white contact, missionaries, the urgency of their confrontation with the Cold War, nuclear tests in the Australian desert and his own walk between two cultures today.

Return to Sender
Curated by Paul Gazzola & Jeff Khan Wed 23 – Sat 26 Nov, 8pm Preview Wed 23 Nov Opening Thu 24 Nov
[BAY 20, CARRIAGEWORKS] $30 Full / $20 Members and Concessions $15 Student Rush Fri 25 Nov (from box office on the night only)
Return to Sender is a collection of eight short dance works exploring the influence of international creative relationships on the practice of Australian dance artists.
For Return to Sender, curators Paul Gazzola and Jeff Khan have invited eight Australian dance-makers to devise new works that recreate the choreography, score, or essence of an international peer’s work. The resulting works range from reconstructed solos, to collaborative texts, to performed instructions. Together, they provide an insight into the creative collaborations that influence Australian artists’ work, but which take place overseas and are often out-of-sight to their audiences due to distance, geography and expense.
Artists: Alison Currie, Nadia Cusimano, Matthew Day, Atlanta Eke, Jane McKernan, Latai Taumoepeau, Tony Yap and Yumi Umiumare.

Sakasama - reverse world
Improvisation Land 21.5
Yumi Umiumare + HK Dance - Daniel Yeung Music - Edmund Leung As part of th I-Dance(Hong Kong) 2009 festival in Hong Kong, Yumi is performed a solo work Sakasama: the reverse world. The two worlds of Life and Death are described as two shores; one is ethe near shoref (the world of the living), and the other is 'ethe far shore' (the world of after-death). A river flows between them. 'The far shore' is a reversed world: it is the reverse of the world of the living and everything is upside down. Umiumare explores the juxtaposition of her presence in Australia, experimenting with the neutrality of emotion and color, and to manipulate rhythms. 5th Dec 2009 : Programme 5 03.12 (Thu) Black Box Theatre, Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre, Honk Kong I-Dance (Hong Kong) 2009
