Michael Portnoy
Michael Portnoy is an American multimedia artist, choreographer, musician, actor and curator. He calls himself a "Director of Behavior". He has been described in ''Art in America'' as "one of the most interesting performance artists anywhere".〔Currie, Nick, "600 Words with Michael Portnoy", ''Art in America'', August 2009〕
==Background and Early Work==
Portnoy was born in Washington, D.C., and studied comparative literature and creative writing at Vassar College and theater at the National Theater Institute at The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. After moving to New York City, he formed several short-lived experimental theater groups and then began concentrating on solo performance. His early performance works, such as ''Gymnastics and Schizophrenia'' and ''5teen3sy: Kicking Games of Lip'', were antic and unpredictable, and characterized by dense language play, song and movement fragments and rapid transformations of character. In the mid 1990s, Portnoy regularly performed in venues such as Surf Reality and Luna Lounge's weekly show "Eating It", the epicenter of New York's "Alternative Comedy" scene. His wild and abstract theatrical performances, which occasionally interrupted and challenged other comedians on stage, prompted ''Time Out New York'' to describe him as "the bad boy of comedy",〔True, Cynthia. "Alterna Be thy Name", ''Time Out New York'', June 5–12, 1996, pp.43-44.〕 and ''The New York Post'' to dub him "the next Andy Kaufman".〔PAGE SIX, ''New York Post'', December 15, 1999〕 At the same time, Portnoy started working as a dancer for the New York choreographer Koosil-Ja Hwang, and as an actor. He also sang and performed his own operatic, electro-progressive-rock music as XAR, and with the band The Liquid Tapedeck.
