Precarius Mobilizatioins: A Crip Choreographers Perspective On Settling / Unsettling/ Resettling
online
HTA Ringvorlesung
- 16.12.2021, 6.30 p.m.free, via Zoom
How can we engage in a broader choreographic practice of inventing new forms of movement organization?
Crip choreographer Michael Turinsky talks about his concept of precarious mobilization as part of the HTA lecture series “(Un)settled. Performance, Protection, and Politics of Insecurity”. With this specific kind of mobilization, Turinsky defines the relationship between the body and its environment as a constant process of becoming settled, unsettled and resettled. Turinsky employs the term “crip” in the spirit of Robert McRuer as the disabled body’s resistance to “compulsory able-bodiness”. In doing so, Turinsky uses his own choreographic position as one of engaging that disabled body’s inherent resistance in processes of de-organizing and re-organizing hegemonic forms of movement and of organization.
The event takes place as live stream on Zoom. No registration needed.

Biography
Michael Turinsky
Michael Turinsky is choreographer, performer and theorist. His work deals with the specific phenomenology of the body marked as disabled – its being-in-the-world and its relationship to temporality and rhythm, affect, gender and sexuality as well as (in-)visibility. In 2021 he received the NESTROY Prize (Best Off-Production) for “Precarious Moves”. Turinsky is regularly invited for guest lectures and workshops, most recently by the University of Salzburg, the Tanzquartier Wien and the College Art Association New York.
