"Western dance begins with its feet firmly planted on the ground, whereas Butoh begins with a dance wherein the dancer tries in vain to find their feet." - Tatsumi Hijikata
Butoh can be mysterious, abstract, and esoteric, yet it can also serve as a creative gateway, catalyst, and even lead to unexpected breakthroughs. Over the weekend, Yumi guides participants to explore both the physical and philosophical aspects of Butoh from classical and contemporary perspectives.
The workshop is welcoming both experienced practitioners and those new to the practice.

About
Yumi is conducting three workshops, weekly and weekend workshops, and also 3-nights residential workshop introducing her mastery skills of body awareness through Butoh, her ongoing passion for ritual and ceremony through elements of the Japanese Tea Ceremony and her recent focus on exploring Jujutsu 呪術 - a Japanese notion of Shamanism.
This unique workshop series allows participants to explore the intersection of movement, ritual, and spirituality ⏤ fostering a deeper connection to the self, others, and the world around.
By integrating Butoh, the Japanese tea ceremony, and spiritual concepts like Jujutsu, participants will delve into:
Embodiment and Presence: Immerse yourself fully in the moment, expressing raw emotions and experiences through Butoh while creating simple rituals to enter sacred spaces with mindfulness and intention.
Symbolism and Ritual: Explore rich symbolism and ritualistic elements, discovering the philosophy of the Japanese Tea Ceremony and its essence of harmony, respect, purity and tranquility, abstracted through contemporary Butoh styles.
Mysteries and Magic: Delve into the mysteries of Jujutsu, where everyday life intersects with the sacred and the profane, exploring the spiritual link between the visible and invisible worlds.
Transformation and Self-Expression: Experience catharsis through movement, ritual and spiritual exploration, uncovering deep emotions and releasing tension.
Reconnecting these powers into the arts is essential for Yumi’s creative practice, and this is a great opportunity for participants to share in that process.
This workshop is open to participants of all levels of experience and artistic discipline.
N.B. Due to the studio space, limited spots are available.

Buried TeaBowl-OKUNI tours to OzAsia Festival 28, 29 Oct 2023
Buried TeaBowl-OKUNI tours to Adelaide, OZAsia Festival.
Buried TeaBowl – OKUNI is an intimate and epic solo performance piece. It is a fusion of dance, text, and song, underscored by dynamic visual elements, a compelling original musical score, and of course – a tea ceremony.
A Proustian, unruly one-woman show, a work of pleasure and bite. — The Saturday Paper
Buried TeaBowl – OKUNI is an intimate and epic solo performance piece. It is a fusion of dance, text, and song, underscored by dynamic visual elements, a compelling original musical score, and of course – a tea ceremony.
Drawing inspiration from the historical Japanese female entertainer, Izumo no Okuni, initiator of Kabuki theatre in early 1600s Japan, Buried TeaBowl – OKUNI is a visceral adventure – a transcendent feast for the senses.
At the height of her creative prowess, Yumi Umiumare, Australia’s leading Butoh artist, unearths precious sacred female powers all too often buried throughout history. Yumi’s channelling of the multifaceted Okuni (who was so powerful, yet fragile and complex) culminates in a powerhouse solo performance that refuses to be defined by genre. Furious, funny, wistful, strange, and wild. Buried TeaBowl – OKUNI will carry you on a bizarre, unruly and heartfelt journey as only Yumi Umiumare can.

RESIDENTIAL WORKSHOP
by Yumi Umiumare with Kayo Tamura, Kyoko Amara from Japan
Butoh, Text and Voice from your ‘deeper source’
This is unique residential workshop, exploring movement, text and voice, through 呪術 Jujutsu, Japanese notion of shamanism, translated as ‘Magic’ at the stunning beach location in Venus Bay, Gippsland.
Melbourne based performance artist Yumi Umiumare is facilitating the workshop, with her international collaborators from Japan, Kayo Tamura (A shaman in theatre!) and Kyoko Amara (professional clairvoyant/singer). The intention of the event is to open up new possibilities of interweaving between arts, nature and spirituality.
Over the 5 days, this ‘magic triangle’ of three artists, will introduce various exercises to guide the participants to open their ‘creative portal’ in order to;
Access your inner, deep sources of creativity
Extract individual and authentic expressions
Find ways of expressing with movement, word, voice and sound
The exercises includes;
Movement : ‘what comes from within’ from Butoh method (Yumi)
Text: ‘Authentic self-portrait series’ from drama technique (Kayo)
Guided meditation to find out own ‘power animal’ from shamanism method (Kyoko)
The stillness and wildness of the landscape enables us to explore our deeper and authentic "being" and helps to cleanse our busy thoughts. Through sharing food and gentle conversation, these powerful female artists will lead participants to explore their consciousness of well-being, essence of ‘personal ritual’ from breathing, walking, moving, and occasional screaming and laughter.
2 hours from Melbourne, the Raven’s Nest retreat space is located in Venus Bay on 14 acres of waterfront, forested sanctuary in South Gippsland. The 2 storey house has sunrise to sunset views, large yurt, massive deck spaces, outdoor dance floors and camping areas, private walking tracks & national park access.

BOOKING
Entangling old world Kabuki mystique with volumetric 3D video, “IN-VOCATION たまおこし” summons the sacred power of female archetypes and deities.
In collaboration with a clairvoyant from Japan, local artists, and an international guest performer, Yumi Umiumare opens a Jujutsu 呪術 (Magic) portal to discover the colourful characters of OKUNI — an initiator of Kabuki Japanese theatre.
Evolving out of Yumi’s solo work, “Buried TeaBowl – OKUNI”, the team of mystics return to prod their collective memories and discover the many essences of the divine feminine.
Punk, playful, and exuberant, this is an intimately epic and profanely sacred ritual that incites an audience revolt of the spirit.

Butoh and Beyond : Weekend Performance Making Laboratory
So you don’t think you can dance?
Or you don’t think you can sing or act?
The ‘magic triangle’ from Japan offers a creative solution through Butoh and Beyond!
Over the weekend, the three artists will introduce their creative methods, through various exercises of Butoh, voice, drama and unique styles of performance making. They will guide the participants to open their ‘creative portal’ thus becoming a ‘medium’ for their own expression. In Japanese, the character of ‘actor’ is written as ‘俳優’ which literally means ‘non-human excellence'. We can all experience this extraordinary state of excellence bordering on the 'non-human' through moving, singing, acting and just being our natural selves.
If you are interested in exploring these magical realms, please join this workshop.

2 hours from Melbourne , the Raven’s Nest is located in Venus Bay, 14 Acres of Water Front, Forested Sanctuary in South Gippsland. There are 2 Storey, 4 Bedroom House with Sunrise to Sunset Views, Yurt, Massive Deck Spaces, Outdoor Dance Floors and camping Areas, Private Walking Tracks & National Park access,

Through sharing food and gentle conversation, Yumi will lead participants to explore their consciousness of well-being, essence of ‘personal ritual’ from breathing, walking, moving, and occasional screaming and laughter.
Butoh舞踏,originally called Ankoku Butoh (Dance of Darkness), was conceived in Japan during the late 50’s and early 60’s during the social turmoil after the war and sought to find an expression through dance. Rather than aspiring to an aesthetic ideal, the dance attempts to expose the joys and sorrows of life, exploring the most fundamental elements of physical and psychological existence. Yumi is renown for combining Butoh (the darkness) with lightness and a sense of humour to embrace a wholistic humanity.

呪術プロジェクト
このプロジェクトは、メルボルン在住のアーティストゆみ・うみうまれによる研究プロジェクトで、日本のシャーマニズムともいえる呪術とアートの関係を探求するものです。

このプロジェクトは、ゆみ・うみうまれによる研究プロジェクトで、日本のシャーマニズムともいえる呪術とアートの関係を探求するものです。
このプロジェクトを通して、ゆみは、科学者、アニマル・コミュニケーター、チャネラー、呪術スペシャリストや司祭者（冠婚葬祭の儀式と仕事にしている人）の日本人の専門家や、アボリジニの人を含む現地オーストラリアのアーティスト達との会話を通し、さまざまなエクスペリメントをしてゆきます。
私たちがこの地球上に生きていく以上、全てが人が人生のクリエーター（アーティスト）になれるのではないか？という望みとともに、この度のお話会を通し、スペシャリスト達から学んだ貴重なお話や、体験談をシェアしてゆく機会です
是非ご参加ください！
”このプロジェクトは「芸術は呪術だ！」という岡本太郎の言葉から触発を受けて始まったものです。３０年以上、アーティスト・芸術家として生きてきた私の目に、再びこの言葉が目飛び込んできたのも、「呪術的パワー」をアートの根本として捉え直してみたい、という渇望のようなものからです。アートがエンターテーメントや娯楽、商業としてのみ存在しかねない現代社会の中、いま私たちはアーティストは何を問いただし、熟考し、行動してゆくべきか。まさにこのコロナ渦の現代、見えない不安や情報に踊らされている今こそ、この「見えない力」というものに目を向け、耳を傾け、匂い、触り、味わってみる、まさに五感を駆使して、さらに「六感」を鍛えてゆく作業が芸術の持つ「呪術的パワー」を復興させる過程になるのではないかと思えてならないのです。” ゆみ・うみうまれ

ButohOUT!2019@Abbotsford Convent 12March- 12May 2019

“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.

白い昼の夢〜White Day Dream
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。高次脳機能障害者である兄の記憶は、日々構築されては消されてゆき、夢うつつのようでも、ある瞬間シャープによみがえったりもする。私たちの現実も、時におぼろげで変わりやすく、妄想や夢想にすりかえられたりもする。たくさんの情報が洪水をおこしてゆく昨今、いま私たちの目の前で起きていることは本当に起きている現実なのか、それとも夢うつつの白昼夢をみているだけなのだろうか。夢とは？記憶とは？
日常生活に見え隠れする風景を採集し、「REAL現実」と「SUREAL超現実」を行き来する。
不思議をおどり、おどられ、おどろかれ。

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.
日本語での情報は以下です
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 。

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。

『踊りに行くぜ！！』Ⅱ［ Ｂプログラム／リージョナルダンス］は、振付家が福岡に滞在し地元で募った出演者と新作を制作。この作品を「踊2」福岡 公演（イムズホール）で上演します。今回は、メルボルンを拠点に活躍している振付家ゆみ・うみうまれさんに、この福岡での新作制作を依頼しま した。舞踏家でありながらチャーミングなゆみさんの世界観の中で、参加者各々が呼応するものを発見し、それを存分に表現できる機会になれば と願っております。ゆみ・うみうまれさんの振付作品に参加したいと思う方、是非、応募をお待ちしております。
はじめまして、オーストラリア・メルボルン在住のゆみ・うみうまれです。 国籍、性別、あらゆるジャンルを超えて存在する「BODY・からだ」と
「SOUL・たましい」に興味があり、 その表現の可能性を探ることに惹かれ舞台創りをしてきました。 私にとって「DANCE・おどり」とは、舞踏であり、 演劇でもあり、バレエであり、ポエムであったりする。 それでいて、少しトランスしたり、シャーマンっぽくなったり、たましいの奥底からの叫びのようかと思うと、 いきなりシュールなコメディになったりする。 「DANCE・おどり」とは、そんな 有象無象の有機体をたくさん含んでいる 生きモノのような気がします。 今回も、そんなジャンルを超えた世界に果敢に飛び込み、見えないもの、理解を超えたものをおおらかに受け入れられる人、「BODY・からだ」と「SOUL・たましい」に真摯に向きあえる人、また、アートを通して繰り広げられる、 ちょっと妙で不思議ワールド の創作に興味のある人を募集しています！ 舞台経験の有無は問いません。もちろん、ダンサー、役者さんも大歓迎！ふるってオーディションにご参加下さい。
