Yumi leads workshops to stimulate and uncover participants’ own unique and authentic movements, working through objects, images, narrative and abstraction. Unfolding the expression of ‘laughter’ in different contexts, participants have the opportunity to create sequences, emerging from their personal poetry and movements using narrative, metaphor and rituals.
The word for laughter in Japanese, warau 笑い comes from the verb wareru 割れる – to break, crack or split.
Unexpected Laughter can open up our daily corsage – and a ritual for a common transformation can start.
We are going to work in an industrial space, so please be prepared to protect your against cold.
Simple and delicious vegetarian/vegan foods are prepared for 6 € per day.
The class will be hold in English.
The workshop is open to all levels of experience.

Das japanische Wort für Lachen 笑い WARAU entstammt dem Verb wareru 割れる – übersetzt ins Deutsche: AUFBRECHEN AUFPLATZEN
An vier Tagen im August wird in der Zeit von 10 bis 16 Uhr in dern Rottstraßen Kunsthallen die eskalative Wirkung des Lachens und Körperdeformationen durch zeitgenössischen japanischen Tanz erprobt.
Nicht bloß die dunkle Seite des Butoh, sondern gerade die unerwartet helle und grelle wird uns beschäftigt halten.
Kommt und laßt es krachen!
Die Unterrichtssprache ist Englisch.

Workshop on durational performance
11 August, 2018, 9am-4pm @ Hamer Hall Stage Door Suite
A one day Workshop on durational performance presented by Arts Centre Melbourne and Melbourne Fringe .
Through a style of her renowned durational work, PopUp Tearoom Series, Yumi will guide participants to explore the elements of rituals, performance, installation and gateways towards ‘unknown’.
Introducing also basic methods and philosophy of Butoh and tea ceremony, Yumi facilitates the workshop for participants to stimulate and search their own unique rituals and ‘authentic’ movements, working through images, narrative and abstraction. The mundane gestures and daily objects can be transformed into their own imaginary world of performance installation.
No dance, performance and art backgrounds are required.
