Nadoya music and dance company is a Melbourne based ensemble established in 1993 which combines a unique blend of music styles and instrumentation with butoh movement art & contemporary dance forms. Nadoya's process of creation is collaborative and improvisation based, drawing on the creative talents of all the artists. In November 1995, during a rehearsal for their theatrical production of Kagome, the lead dancer's foot unexpectedly broke. This brought the project to a halt, forcing a planned two week season to be postponed until the following year. In the week following the accident the musicians decided to record the Kagome material. This CD is the result. The saga of Yumi's foot found its way on to track 5 & 14

Created and performed by Anne Norman, Peter Neville, Satsuki Odamura and Michael Hewes with vocals performed by the dancers of the Nadoya music and dance company: Yumi Umiumare, Tony Yap and Lynne Santos.
