Overview
"Do-zan draws its inspiration from the Japanese performing arts of Noh Drama, Butoh and traditional Japanese Dance (Azuma Style). Each member of Dozan has travelled overseas to pursue intensive training in the Japanese performing arts, only to return to Australia to create works which are highly personal in nature, woven with the richness of Japanese movement techniques, costumes, characters and poetry. Yumi Umiumare created and performed ""Mu"" (illusion of Emptiness) whose program note reads:
Holding breath
Floating in the haze
Nurturing the point before
Releasing your breath sharply with a ""pah""!"
- Participated in the Castlemaine Festival
- The video was recorded in August, 1994 at St Carthage’s Church where Cherie Whitington, Jill Orr, Tony Yap and Yumi Umiumare presented their own pieces in DO-ZAN.
- Umimare's words are taken from the program for DO-ZAN presented at Castlemaine Library Hall.
