ButohOut 2023

ButohOUT! 2023 has been nominated for
Best Visual / Digital Design
By Green Room Award 2024

Congratulations to the ButohOUT! Creative/design team – Jacquie, Emma and Yumi, and all ButohOUT! Ensemble aka amazing Melbourne-artists who filled the industrial school convent with amazing ideas, props, sets and consumes wherever they came from – the shed, second-hand shops, street strips or bins!

It is that where the creative power creates something odd, twisted and non-conforming to anything alike. Hope ButohOUT! continues to be a testing and inclusive art pot for anyone who dear to do what your sprit desires to do!

Hope to see you very soon.
ButohOUT!

All ButohOUT!, OUT of order sessions sold OUT! and here review is OUT! - Review #2 by the Age

"There is always movement and noise on the periphery, and everything seems to want to happen all at once. It’s true that the second half of Out of Order is, relatively speaking, less chaotic and demands less of the audience. But the centre never holds for long in this anarchic comedy of malfunction, this roll-up of haphazardly costumed odd bods."

‘Like pirates at a yacht party’: Motley Crue and Def Leppard bring the ’80s to Melbourne This wrap of shows around Melbourne includes Motley Crue and Def Leppard at Marvel Stadium, ButohBar: Out of Order, the return of La Cage aux Folles, and a rhythm-filled collaboration.

All ButohOUT!, OUT of order sessions sold OUT! and here review is OUT!

"ButohBAR playfully and artfully explores disorder, disruption, disarray without descending into chaos or nihilism. The performance space is extremely apt and captures the sense of decay, decline and neglect that encompasses the overall design of the show. "

Butoh is often regarded as an interdisciplinary artistic medium encompassing performing arts elements such as dance, vocalization, theater, music and stage design.

In our 6-session weekly workshop we explore the world of Butoh through body movement, voice, cabaret, Suzuki training. Butoh invites you to view each body part as a canvas for transformation, bridging the gap between real and surreal, known and unknown, visible and invisible.

Guest instructors, Willow J Conway (Cabaret), Matthew Crosby (Suzuki Training), and Emma Bathgate (Voice), will facilitate one week each with a Butoh warm-up led by Yumi Umiumare, bringing an interdisciplinary approach to your training.

This workshop welcomes participants of all experience levels and artistic backgrounds for you to connects all artistic dots into one.

Strongly recommend to take up the 6 week course to fully embrace the sprit of Butoh over 4 prominent artisitc mediums. (You can also drop in)

HELLO EVERYONE!

FINALLY WE ARE ANNOUNCING BUTOHOUT! 2023

---------------------------------------
ButohBAR 番狂わせ OUT of ORDER
---------------------------------------

ButohOUT! 2023 presents a new experiment in the form of a bizarre nightclub, known as the ButohBAR, featuring dance, cabaret, song, poetry and visual arts woven together by Butoh – originally called the Dance of Darkness.

Reviving the 70’s/80’s era where Butoh thrived in nightclubs and strip joints, ButohBAR - OUT of ORDER summons the raw spirit of those times, embracing the metaphor of a human world out of order to provoke reflection on our own post-pandemic existence.

Prior to the performance season from 16-19 November 2023, there are 4 workshops available for you to experience the world of Butoh with the renowned Butoh dancer, choreographer and director, Yumi Umiumare, together with the masterful Australian artists, Willow Conway, Matthew Crosby, Jacquie Stockdale, Emma Bathgate and Maude Davey (OAM) as well as the international guest artist Hal Tanaka.

This is a short and fun workshop, introducing Butoh in a playful and family-friendly way. The participants will create the art installations/costumes with everyday objects to jump headfirst into a world of transformation and shape-shifting, unleashing their inner creatures.

Depending on the weather, we will go and visit many visible and invisible Peek-A-Boos around the Convent while feeling the wind, listening to the grounds, smelling the sound!

Children aged 3 – 12 and their adults are invited into the mysterious and unknown world of the Peek-A-Butoh!
