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.

Date: Friday, 27 November 2015 Time: 4:30PM Venue: Site 2

Butoh residential workshop 2-5 May 2015

ButohCamp2014-2.jpg

On the Wimmera River, 15kms West of HorshamLead By Yumi Umiumare and locally based visual artist Anthony Pelchen

The aim of this workshop is to expand body awareness, deepen consciousness and unleash internal expression though a response to landscape. This 130 acre site near Mt Arapiles allows participants to move between bush-land, sand dunes, open fields, river and elevated rock, opening up the senses to color, texture, sound and form. Over the weekend, Yumi will introduce various methods of Butoh, Chi/Gravity exercises, breathing methods and encourage a fuller expression and consciousness of well-being.  The body practices and drawing will act as powerful counterpoints and as opportunities to filter one into the other, strengthening the links between the external environment and the internal landscape.Anthony will run a session of charcoal drawing that tap into this and the overall energetic build-up over the weekend.

No dance, singing or drawing experience required

$350/320 (Vegetarian meals included) Early Bird Special by 17 April $330/300

ZeroZero at Dance TerritoriesTHE SACRED AND THE PROFANE – RITUALS OF NOW Tue 14 & Wed 15 Oct 2014 @DANCEHOUSE

Two programs pair works by local and international choreographers in a charged collision of dance, highlighting different approaches to similar subject matter.

‘The Sacred and the Profane’ sees Tony Yap and Yumi Umiumare perform their exploration of nothingness, Zero, Zero, alongside a playful work by Nicole Mossoux and Patrick Bonté (Compagnie Mossoux-Bonté) featuring three obsessive coffee drinkers.

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.

ZeroZero is a new dance work by Tony Yap, Yumi Umiumare and Matthew Gingold, exploring the spaces between fullness and emptiness, visibility and invisibility. Yap and Umiumare's ancient cultural and spiritual traditions are combined with Gingold’s bleeding edge explorations of high and low technologies.
