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

ZeroZero is a new dance work by Tony Yap, Yumi Umiumare and Matthew Gingold, exploring the spaces between fullness and emptiness, visibility and invisibility. Yap and Umiumare's ancient cultural and spiritual traditions are combined with Gingold’s bleeding edge explorations of high and low technologies. From the immediacy and simplicity of the human body lit by candles and incense, to the use of the latest technology, ZeroZero will transport the viewer with its immersive environment and evocative and trance¬like physical explorations.

En Trance World Premier Presented by Malthouse Theatre August 28 – September 13
CREATED AND PERFORMED BY YUMI UMIUMARE From her many performances of The Burlesque Hour around the globe, to Acclaimed Butoh Cabaret DasShoku Hora!!, Yumi Umiumare’s electrifying performance style is in demand the world over. In this bold work, premiered and had a sell out season at Malthouse theatre, Umiumare is set to detonate her extraordinary vision from the international to the other-worldy as she thrusts us into the twisted corridors of the un-living. At times brutally visceral, the performance is counterbalanced with the purity of digital painting produced live with her collaborating artists, Bambang Nurcahyadi and Naomi Ota.
EnTrance extends even further Umiumare’s diverse dance vocabulary, plummeting into the cracks where the spirit and the body are propelled into another existence. Umiumare takes us from unsettling moments of physical extremity to magical images of reflective serenity
