Takahiro Yamamoto
Takahiro Yamamoto is a multidisciplinary artist and choreographer based in Portland, Oregon. He primarily creates live movement-based perfor-mance while expanding his outlets to publishing, sculpture, photography, and installation.

He has received support from New England Foundation for the Arts, Bogliasco Foundation, Oregon Community Foundation, MacDowell, NCCAkron, Nation-al Performance Network, Japan Foundation, and others. His performance and visual art works have been presented at Portland Art Museum, PICA, Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati, the Henry Art Gallery, and GoDown Arts Centre Nairobi, among other venues.
