In Precarious Moves, choreographer and dancer Michael Turinsky exposes the critical modality of actions through »the tension between movement and environment, between gesture and milieu,« and in this way uses his own case study to articulate »urgent collective needs and necessities with regard to mobility and mobilisation.«
Turinsky uses the circumstance of physical disability as a material and conceptual departure point to explore the boundaries that emerge between the body and the environment in cases of bodily mobility, and »continues his investigation of resistant choreographic positionings through designing political aesthetics.« The boundaries of different spaces and places only become entirely apparent when they are used and inhabited by different bodies with their own specific needs and characteristics.
