Widersetzen von Michael Turinsky
Sich widersetzen
Den Formen und Modalitäten normativer Verkörperung sich widersetzen, und darin sich widersetzen den herrschenden Rhythmen und Zeitverläufen des Lebens, des Lebens und des Arbeitens
Langsam werden
Zyklisch werden und darin sich widersetzen dem Diktat progressiver Linearität
Im Namen des Körpers, seiner Generativität und der darin unverzichtbar implizierten Regenerativität

CV
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. In 2024 he was as awarded as ‘Outstanding Artist‘ by the Austrian Ministry of Arts and Culture.
