EVOCATION OF BUTOHPERFORMANCE,FORUM and WORKSHOP 9-20 MARCH 2017
Evocation of Butoh is a mini festival with the aim of activating artistic and cultural exchange between international artists and local arts communities in Melbourne through the performance art of Butoh. This genre of dance/theatre was started in the late 50’s in Japan in the aftermath of WWII. Butoh, originally called the ‘Dance of Darkness’, finds expression through dance and movement for the visible and invisible states of living. This is a unique opportunity for audiences in Melbourne to experience sublime works by local and international practitioners: a diaspora of artists who left their countries of origin to extend their practice in contemporary society.Intensive workshops, a public forum and an artists’ talk will also be presented to stimulate discourse around what Butoh is now in Australia.

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.

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。

WHITE DAY DREAM with Weave Movement Theatre27 October 2016 – 6 November 2016 preview: Thursday 27 October opening night: Friday 28 October Auslan interpreted performance: Sunday 6 November
Presented by Weave Movement Theatre and Yumi Umiumare, White Day Dream is a unique fusion between Butoh and physical theatre performed by dancers with and without disability. The work moves between the surreal and absurd exploring universal human themes of memory and dreams, their fragility, transience and power. Like a dream itself, White Day Dream recalls subconscious emotions, where things are at once unexpectedly linked and disconnected.

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.
