SUMMARY:TAKAHIRO YAMAMOTO: WORK-IN-PROGRESS SHOWING
DESCRIPTION:DiverseWorks is pleased to welcome Portland\, OR-based choreographer Takahiro Yamamoto and his collaborator\, performance artist sidony o’neal\, to Houston\, February 13 – 17\, 2017. While in residence\, Yamamoto and o’neal will meet with a number of area artists\, academics\, and community activists\, present a public workshop at Asia Society Texas Center\, and rehearse and present a work-in-progress showing of Direct Path to Detour\, a new collaborative dance performance co-commissioned by DiverseWorks. The final iteration of Direct Path to Detour will be presented by DiverseWorks at MATCH (Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston) in October 2017. \nWORK-IN-PROGRESS SHOWING: DIRECT PATH TO DETOUR\nThursday\, February 16\, 6 – 8 pm\nDiverseWorks – MATCH Rehearsal Room\n3400 Main Street\, Houston\, TX 77002 \nFree\, but seating is very limited and advance RSVP is required by emailing Taylor Hoblitzell\, taylor@diverseworks.org. \nDirect Path to Detour is a new collaborative dance performance by Portland-based choreographer Takahiro Yamamoto. In today’s culturally diverse\, globalized society\, one is inevitably exposed to multiple aesthetics\, ethics\, and ideologies. Through this project and from his perspective as a queer\, Japanese immigrant\, Yamamoto investigates the physical and emotional effects that result when multiple sets of cultural values and expectations crash\, negotiate\, reconcile and/or float around each other in contemporary society. \nWhile in Houston developing this project\, Yamomoto and one of his collaborators\, sidony o’neal\, will engage the community by presenting a brief showing of Direct Path to Detour\, followed by a conversation about their artistic processes. Over the next few months\, Yamamoto is participating in residencies in Cincinnati\, Houston\, and Japan as a research method in order to introduce himself and his collaborators to communities prior to the presentation of the full performance. This preliminary research residency and interaction with the Houston community will be integral to the final presentation at DiverseWorks in October 2017. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nOriginally from Shizuoka Japan\, Takahiro Yamamoto works in performance\, sculpture\, and photography in Portland\, Oregon.
