Yumi is running Open Butoh Workshop Trans-Formation, On-line on Tuesday night and Off -line on Friday morning outdoor in Melbourne.

ButohOUT! 2019 is a festival to celebrate creative communities in Australia and beyond through the profound performance art medium of Butoh. 4 public workshops and 2 weeks performance season are held at Abbotsford Convent.

Yumi is joining Back to Back Theatre’s Tokyo tour, performing in their masterpiece, small metal objects, a theatre show in the public domain; part voyeuristic meditation, part urban thriller.

An ingenious theatrical gem, small metal objects unfolds amidst the high volume pedestrian traffic of Ikebukuro Nishiguchi-park. With individual sets of headphones, the audience is wired into an intensely personal drama being played out somewhere in the crowd.

この作品はうみうまれの「White Day Dream 」シリーズ の一環で、過去２年メルボルン、マレーシアで創作され、今回はその日本版。10年前、脳出血で倒れたうみうまれの兄の姿からインスピレーションを得て創り始めた作品群で、2016年10月にはメルボルンでハンディキャップを追う人たちの演劇カンパニーと共に作品が発表された。
