“The action of laughing is like the breaking of the stiff mask of ego.
When we laugh, the authentic spirit jumps out from deep inside of us”
Keiichi Ueno
ButohOUT! is an annual festival celebrating creative communities and the profound performance art of Butoh. Originally called Dance of Darkness, Butoh was conceived in Japan in the late 1950s during the social turmoil after the Second World War. It goes beyond the confines of specific culture, gender, status and religion, aspiring to universal expression that touches the true nature of humanity.
ButohOUT! 2019 will challenge the commonly held conception of Butoh as dark and grotesque, and will ask: “Can the audience laugh at Butoh? Can we portray comedy in Butoh?” In the Japanese language the word for laughter warau 笑う comes from the verb wareru 割れる- to break, crack or split.
Exploring the theme, ‘Forbidden Laughter’, ButohOUT! 2019 will focus on surreal comedy. The Butoh will draw upon cabaret, bouffon, burlesque, physical theatre and visual art installation.
Open to experienced dancers, newcomers, children and families, the ButohOUT! program presents an exciting opportunity for participants and audiences to learn from expert practitioners and experience this unique performance arts form. Workshop participants have the opportunity to receive mentoring and present original solo and group works at the Convent during the public performance season in May.

Embodied Dance & ButohBy Maria Sangiorgi & Yumi Umiumare @Bali Mountain Retreat at Mt Batukaru, Bali 5th to 10th June 2017
Weaving the Interior and exterior landscape
Yumi and Maria have known each other for nearly 20 years. They share a passion for dance and its transcendent and transformative qualities. They are like spiritual comrades and both have been exploring particular spiritual practice reflecting from their cultural and global identity through dance.
Maria is like the earth and water that is moved by the fire and air. She is seen by many who attend her workshops as a nurturing mother. In her teaching, she holds her students in their dance, enough for them to find their way, then sets them free. Whereas Yumi is like fire and air that is moved by the earth and water. As a kind of catalyst, Yumi also helps people to open up their new territories through her gentle provocation exercises. As Butoh originally called as ‘dance of darkness’, Yumi taps into the aspect of our shadow to unleash the unknown.
Their coming together in this 5 day Residential on Mt Batukaru, Bali, will be a beautiful blend of Female energy, as they bring together their magic from years of dance practice and performance to provide a rich, creative field for the participants to work in.
This wonderful week offers you:
- 30 hours of training in total from Maria and Yumi.
- Full accommodation* in the beautiful tranquil Bali Mountain Retreat, with all meals and drinking water provided
- Transport to and from the airport or Ubud or other main destinations.
- A beautiful massage
- Temple trek
- Traditional Joged Bumbung Dance performance and
- Village Temple full moon ceremony
- are included in the package price.
*this is standard share accommodation. You can change your preference to a single room but the cost will be more. There will be an opportunity to perform in the outdoor Amphitheatre of the Yoga Barn Ubud on Sunday the 11th of June. (This is not Obligatory but guaranteed to be a lot of fun)
See the program bellow to get a feel of what the week will offer you.
Special Offer (end on 30 Apil) cost per person is $1.1OO USD and discount another $300 USD if you bring another person! (Please pay a deposit of $250 USD will secure your place.)
Detail of the workshop and Payment method
Embodied Dance Embodied Dance takes from many forms of somatic movement, expression and dance, weaving them into a deep visceral experience. The work is informed by the natural way the body moves through, spirals, waves, circles and vibrations.
These energies are all present in the body system, like the earth and the universe. We are one flowing wave of energy. This is also expressed through traditional indigenous dances of the past, particularly by Egyptian dance. The dancer keeps coming back to the now, exploring her sensation, feelings and thought, bringing herself to a place of deep authenticity.
Butoh BU舞 means Dance, Toh 踏means stomping, Butoh is originally called Dance of Darkness and it was conceived in Japan during the social turmoil after the war. It was conceived by Tatsumi Hijikata as one of the most avant-garde arts movements started in late 50’s and early 60’s.
Yumi is taking the deep spiritual aspects of Butoh, for its transformative, ethereal and playful quality and explore our passive existence surrounded by our rich internal and external landscape.

エンボディーダンス＆舞踏 By マリア・サンジョージ& ゆみ・うみうまれ バリ島、Batukaru山にてのリトリートにて ２０１７年６月５日(月)〜１０日（土）
ゆみとマリアは２０年近くの友人で、共に踊りへのパッションをシェアしてきました。ダンスのもつ深いパワーや、その変化をもたらす力を信じている彼女たち２人はまるでスピリチュアルな同士のよう。彼女たち２人は文化的でグローバルな視野を持ちながら、 ダンスを通してからだと心を解放できるように、スピリチュアルなワークを実践しています。
マリアは火と風に動かされる、まるで大地と水。彼女のワークショップに参加した多くの人は、彼女を優しく包み込んでくれる母のように感じると言います。彼女の教え方は、それぞれの個性を生かしたダンスを、それぞれが発見できるように、そしてそれが自由にできるように導いてゆきます。
そして、ゆみは大地と水に動かされる、まるで火と風。ゆみも同じようにオープンに、また、 いわゆる「触媒」のように喚起をうながし、エクササイズを通し、 参加者が 新しい領域を自由に開いてゆけるように導いてゆきます。 もともと暗黒舞踏として始まった舞踏。ゆみの舞踏のセッションは、からだを通して、私たちの持つある種の闇とそれを照らす光、まだ見ぬ未知の世界が開放してゆけるように導いてゆきます。
このユニークな２人が共に行う５日間のバリ島、Batukaru山でのリトリートは、その自然溢れる場所で、優しく美しい女性的なエネルギーに満ちています。また長年のダンスとパフォーマンスの経験を持つ彼女たち２人独特のマジックにより、 クリエイティブで奥深いスペースが、参加者の皆さんと共に創られてゆくことでしょう 。

日本語での問い合わせは ゆみまで マリアについて（英語） ゆみについて
エンボディー・ダンス エンボディー・ダンスとは、様々な肉体の動きや表現やダンスの型を融合させたメソッドで、 深い感覚から踊りが感じられるように創られたものです。このワークの中では、渦をまく動き、波の動き、また、円を描き、振動の伝わるような動きなど、体にとってごく自然な動きから構成されます。まるで宇宙にある地球のように、私たちの体の器官の中には、さまざまなエネルギーが 存在します。 私たちの体の中には、一つのエネルギーの波が流れているものとも言えます。
エンボディー・ダンスは、過去の様々な伝統的なダンスや先住民的なダンス、特にエジプトのダンスの影響を受けております。踊り手たちは、自分たちが持つ 感覚、気持ちや、考え方を探りながら、それぞれの本来の姿に深く戻って行けるように、「いま目の前で起きていること」を探って行きます。
舞踏 もともと暗黒舞踏と呼ばれて始まった舞踏は、土方巽を中心に形成された前衛舞踊の様式で、 戦後５０年代、６０年代の社会的混乱の日本の中で生まれた、最も前衛芸術の一つといえます。ゆみの舞踏では、その深い精神性を探るのみならず、踊りの中でトランスしてゆく性質、またその不思議な空気感と遊びごごろを刺激してゆきます。からだを「受け身に」おくことで、からだの外的、内的風景を感じることができ、 そこから自然にわきおこってゆく踊りと、そのまわり にある空間を探ってゆきます。

ー舞踏 ★ BUTOHー
誰でも舞踏！ こころの叫びに耳をすまし 見えないものに身をまかし わからない言葉でウジャグジャとつぶやいてみる そうすると知らないうちに、からだが動き出す からだの枠をはずして、動いて、叫んで、声出して、踊ってみる ついつい難しく考えられがちな舞踏 「 命がけで突っ立った死体」 として始まったのが６０年代の暗黒舞踏 でも、本当は、自分たちのからだの奥底にうごめいている 不思議な生き物を解き放って、闇と暗黒と明るくダンスできるのが舞踏 ずしっと響いてくるようで軽いノリ 訳ありのようで単純 ちょっと妙で、ちょっと不思議だけど、なんだかやたらと楽しくなってきてしまう 誰でも舞踏！ 泣いてもいい 笑ってもいい 感情をむき出しにしてもいい ほら！みんな動いて、飛んで、回転している 誰でも舞踏！
ードラム&ヴォイスー
人は太古から火を囲み、唄って踊ってきた。 ネイティブアメリカンドラムの音は心臓の音。 私たちが生まれてから死ぬまで、身体の中でずっと刻まれているビートを叩きながら、即興で声を出していく。 頭は分からないと言っても、身体はちゃんと唄うことを、踊ることを知っている。 唄い踊ることで人は大地と宇宙との繋がりを確かめてきた。 大地は私たちが唄い踊ることを一番楽しんでいる。 そして、唄うことで思い出す事がいっぱいあるんだよ。 この数百年の間に、私たちが忘れてしまったたくさんの大切な事を思い出す時間。 いのちの時間。 人間が唄い踊れば地球は大丈夫。そう大丈夫ーーーー！
＊動きやすい服装でお越しください。裸足で踊ります。 ＊ドラムをお持ちでない方にはこちらで用意します。 ＊タオル・飲み物・着替えを各自ご持参ください。 ＊会場が初めてだと分かりにくいかもしれません。 どうぞ時間に余裕をもってお越しください。
Please come with comfortable cloth, and we will provide drum, if you don't have. Please contact Yumi if you need to translation to English!

Butoh residential workshop 2-5 May 2015
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.

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.
