Direct Path to Detour
This February, DiverseWorks will welcome Portland, Oregon-based choreographer Takahiro Yamamoto and his collaborator sidony o’neal. While in residence, they will present a work-in-progress showing of Direct Path to Detour, a new collaborative dance performance. The final iteration of this new work, co-commissioned by PICA, DiverseWorks, Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati, and the National Performance Network, will be presented in Houston in October 2017, following its world premiere in Portland this May.
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.Read more
