DasSHOKU TeaParTEA! In Development
DasSHOKU TeaParTEA! will be 5th DasSHOKU Butoh cabaret series since 2012. Smashing together Yumi’s recent practice in Japanese tea ceremony (PopUp Tearoom Series) with her signature, iconic Butoh Cabaret series, DasSHOKU Tea ParTEA! combines elements of Butoh, Cabaret, and spoken word, woven from Japanese tea ceremony into English tea party, from Brazilian samba into Okuni-Kabuki dance during the Edo period in early 1600.

The show gained rave responses from audiences and critically acclaimed reviews, receiving Green Room Awards for INNOVATION in cabaret category, and the Fringe Award – Innovation in Culturally Diverse Practice.
DasSHOKU Hora!!
DasSHOKU suru is a Japanese term meaning to bleach, to strip off colour. Hora! in Japanese means Look Out! In DasSHOKU Hora!!, the third in the DasSHOKU series, Yumi and the DasSHOKU team strip back the candy-coloured surface of Japanese culture and tickle its hoary underbelly.
Tokyo DasSHOKU Girl
Tokyo DasSHOKU Girl touches on the shadowy life of Japan which many would never encounter. DasSHOKU (to bleach) strips off the colour of the superficial to reveal the reality behind the happy face of consumerism, bleaching away the commonly held views of Japanese women as kawai, or cute, polite and submissive.
DasSHOKU Cultivation!!
Dancing between two contrasting cultures (Osaka and Melbourne), Umiumare tactically manipulated two languages and smoothly proceeded with the whole show. The balance of the contexts and the sense of timing in each scene change was incredible.
