20:00, ZKM | PRECARIOUS MOVES, Michael Turinsky
Kako se tijelo pokreće u situaciji gdje je odnos između tijela, i onoga što ga okružuje, temeljno neizvjestan i ranjiv odnos; odnos koji se prelako izbaci iz ravnoteže, u kojem ponekad nailazimo na vidljive i nevidljive granice?
U predstavi PRECARIOUS MOVES (u prijevodu Neizvjesni pokreti), Michael Turinsky nastavlja svoje istraživanje opirućih koreografskih gesti, stvarajući koreo-političke estetike.
U središtu ove solo izvedbe, koja je podjednako biografska i konceptualna, prusutno je propitivanje vlastitih potreba uz propitivanje urgentnih zajedničkih potreba u pogledu mobilnosti i mobilizacije, s obzirom na njihovu važnost osobito u napetosti između pokreta i okoline, geste i miljea.
Uključivanjem iskustva invaliditeta u svoju singularnost, Turinsky ga ponovno stavlja u odnos s konceptom “crip time”, u pobuni protiv imperativa integracije tijela s invaliditetom, ili bilo kojeg tijela, u sustavne režime postojećih hegemonijskih kultura mobilnosti i mobilizacije, ne zanemarujući pritom vlastite, kao ni kolektivne stvarne, i stoga također ambivalentne, potrebe između brzine i/ili sporosti.
Oscilirajući između organskog i organiziranog, PRECARIOUS MOVES rastvara se kao ponekad lagano i ponekad mračno istraživanje te čudne petlje koja povezuje tijelo sa senzualnim svijetom kojim se kreće; kao pokret u potrazi, u kojem neukroćena gesta otkriva svoj koreografski milje, dok istovremeno otvara naše senzibilitete onkraj istog.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– O AUTORU –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

MICHAEL TURINSKY umjetnik je, teoretičar i osoba s invaliditetom s bazom u Beču, koji djeluje na sjecištu suvremenog plesa i izvedbe, invaliditeta te političke i estetske teorije.
Akademski obrazovan kao filozof na Sveučilištu u Beču, Michael je 2006. počeo zaranjati u svijet inkluzivnog plesa. Kasnije, preispitujući pojam inkluzije, Michael je osmislio vlastiti pojam “crip koreografije”, kako bi označio svoju jedinstvenu umjetničku praksu izlaganja specifične, opiruće materijalnosti tijela u procese podrivanja, de-organiziranja i re-organiziranja dominantnih oblika i kvaliteta pokreta.
U zadnje vrijeme zainteresiran je za što su drugi umjetnici s invaliditetom nazvali “estetika pristupa(čnosti)” (izvorno “aesthetics of access”), kao i za istraživanje složenog odnosa plesa i ekologije.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– THE PERFORMANCE ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

20:00, ZKM | PRECARIOUS MOVES, Michael Turinsky
How does a body set itself in motion where the relation between the body and what surrounds it appears to be a fundamentally precarious, vulnerable relation, a relation that is all too easily thrown off balance and in which we sometimes encounter visible or invisible boundaries?
In PRECARIOUS MOVES Michael Turinsky continues his investigation of resistant choreographic gestures through designing choreo-political aesthetics.
At the centre of the solo, which is as much biographical as conceptual, lies the questioning of both his very own personal as well as urgent collective needs and necessities with regard to mobility and mobilization, pertinent as they are especially within in the tension between movement and environment, gesture and milieu.
Including the experience of disability in his singularity, Turinsky once again ties in with the concept of crip time, in a revolt against the imperative of the integration of disabled or any body into the systemic regimes of the existing hegemonic cultures mobility and mobilization, without, however, ignoring both his own as well as collective real and thus also ambivalent needs between speed and/or slowness.
Oscillating between the organic and the organized, PRECARIOUS MOVES unfolds as a sometimes light and sometimes dark exploration of that strange loop that connects the body with the sensual world through which it moves; as a searching movement in which the untamed gesture discovers its choreographic milieu, and at the same time opens our sensitivity beyond the same.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– THE AUTHOR –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

MICHAEL TURINSKY is a Vienna-based, physically disabled artist and theoretician, working at the intersection of contemporary dance and performance, disability, and political as well as aesthetic theory.
Academically trained as a philosopher at the University of Vienna, Michael began diving into the world of inclusive dance in 2006. Later questioning the notion of inclusion, Michael later coined his own term “crip choreography” to designate his unique artistic practice of engaging the specific, resistant materiality of the body in processes of subverting, de-organizing and re-organizing dominant forms and qualities of movement.
Recently, he has also become interested in what fellow disabled artists have termed the “aesthetics of access”, as well as in exploring the intricate relationship between dance and ecology.
