Michael Turinsky: Precarious Moves
Witness how a body sets itself in motion at a solo performance by Michael Turinsky, exploring the tension between movement and environment.
What if the relation between the body and what surrounds it seems fundamentally precarious and vulnerable, posing visible or invisible boundaries?
Precarious Moves explores both Turinsky’s own personal as well as urgent collective needs with regard to mobility and mobilisation.
Oscillating between the organic and the organised, Precarious Moves unfolds as an ironic yet engaged critique of the strange loop that connects the body with the world through which it moves.
Michael Turinsky lives and works as a choreographer, performer and theoretician
in Vienna. He is interested in the specific phenomenology of the body labelled as ‘disabled’, its relationship to temporality and rhythm, gender and sexuality, visibility and invisibility.
