	Michael Portnoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Portnoy is a New York based multimedia artist, choreographer, musician, actor and director of behavior.
		Portnoy continued to "dance" for about 40 seconds, making odd grimaces, his eyes often closed as if in a trance, until security realized he wasn't part of the show and escorted him off-stage.
		Portnoy had been hired to simply stand in the background with other dancers and bob his head to the music to "give Bob a good vibe".

		Portnoy, a principal in the labor relations firm of Portnoy, Messinger & Pearl, became involved in the corporation's formation in late 1987 when Marilyn Stern ?- the daughter of a deceased friend ?- asked him for help in locating a job for her husband, Michael.
		Under the circumstances, the district court was correct to rule that for Portnoy to rely upon the promises of Stern and Watkins was a reckless disregard of the risk that RSR was not in compliance with the FLSA.
		Portnoy maintains that the present action may be distinguished from Northwest because his claims of contribution and indemnification against co-employers comport with the purpose and policy of the FLSA, more than Northwest Airline's claim for contribution against an employee union comported with the purpose and policy of either Title VII or the Equal Pay Act.

	Conversational Reading: (Woody) Portnoy's Complaint

		Portnoy, 26, told The Post he was hired as a back-up dancer, but conceived his prank as "an act of pure revolution." "It's my path toward superstardom," said Portnoy, who called himself "a multigenre mastermind artist." Portnoy, who described himself as "almost a vegetarian," said "SOY BOMB" means "sort of life and death and explosion."
		They called his show "garbage." They called Portnoy, who was wearing red tights, a feather boa and flowers on his face, "soy bitch." Annoyed, Portnoy pulled a knife from under his tutu and started chasing one of his antagnonists through the theater.
		Portnoy, who claims the knife was a plastic toy, says: "They were just a bunch of jerks.

	village voice > news > On Edge by C. Carr
		Michael Portnoy, the self-anointed "Soy Bomb" who jumped onstage during Bob Dylan's performance at the Grammy Awards, was himself performing at P.S.122's "New Stuff Festival" on March 7 when he twice jumped into the audience.
		I did catch some comment about "respect for my elders" followed by what seemed to be a parody of Eric Bogosian; he did a number of silly walks, groaned out part of a song, and concluded by trying to stick his tongue into a light socket.
		Meanwhile, back in the realm of not-ready-for-prime-time, Martha Wilson and Vince Bruns made every effort to be traditional by having a wedding last January 18, but they found their motives and even their authenticity questioned once the newspaper of record got involved in covering the event.

		(Portnoy first gained fame by jumping onstage during the 1998 Grammy Awards as Bob Dylan performed, with the words “Soy bomb” scrawled on his naked chest.) But let me put your fears to rest: these artists were not interested in undermining the privilege of our critical authority—although some took pleasure in tweaking our colleagues.
		Portnoy has assembled for this show isn’t—with a single exception—up to the challenge.
		Portnoy’s services as curator, the exhibition lists Marianne Vitale as its “curatorial engineer.” This is a job description that is new to me. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to assess Ms.

	New York's Latest Dating Fad
		The event is called “Session,” and its organizer—or, as he prefers to be called, “director of behavior”—is Michael Portnoy (the man with the sprig), 32, an artist, choreographer, and Vassar grad.
		For the object chess, my partner is a slender woman with glasses, and after silently shifting around a lightbulb, a pair of scissors, and a piece of chain mail for a few minutes, she shows me a bruise on her nail.
		Portnoy came up with the idea for Session after attending too many art openings at P.S. where the people seemed interesting but no one knew how to talk to each other.

	Purr - Pigshit
		First of all, the local New York media, sensing a cute (albeit temporary) Lewinsky diversion afoot, immediately tracked down the stage-crasher and identified him as Michael Portnoy, a 26-year-old self-styled performance artist slash musician residing in, of course, Greenwich Village.
		Portnoy was one of just over forty "bodies" hired (after an impressively thorough screening process, I must add) to bop and swoon on stage as Bob sang his big Grammy number.
		Portnoy admitted as much, along with the more-than-interesting tidbit that, subsequent statements to the contrary from "official channels" notwithstanding, his dance and even his infamous chest message were duly discussed and actually APPROVED with all and with sundry BEFOREHAND.

		Then, while listening to National Public Radio the other day, I heard Jerry Portnoy blowing that fat, warm, penetrating harp sound on a contemporary disc touted to be a jazz crossover on the harmonica (no mere Toots Theilmans imitation, something else altogether different).
		Portnoy went on from there to form The Legendary Blues Band with Pinetop Perkins.
		Jerry Portnoy is every bit the virtuoso and should be honored as such.

		Lundgren is now able to live a normal life," Portnoy said.

		As he explained, had some other performer been the one with the hired-hand dancers as a backdrop, it would have been THAT act, and not Dylan's appearance, which would have been the target of the stunt.
		He also made clear that the Nation's website contention that Portnoy is connected with the so-called "Music Militia" was an erroneous posting.
		His name is Michael Portnoy, and he is not officially a member of the Soy Bomb nation but wore our name on his chest as a gesture of solidarity.

		Now, Portnoy was not supposed to do that.
		He was hired to be a mellow, head-nodding extra providing "a good vibe" for Dylan, as Portnoy explained in missives emailed to reporters Thursday.

		Just then, amid recorded coyote yelps, MICHAEL PORTNOY—the "SOY BOMB" guy from the Grammys a few years ago—started wailing along in some unknown language (Huffalump?) while striking affected artiste poses reminiscent of the phrase "Now's the time on Sprockets when we dance." As Yoko seemed to muffle her own shrieks of "Aye!
		Aye!" Portnoy emitted more of his own guttural sounds, then dramatically ripped off his shirt for a final primal flourish, as I applauded while running for some oxygen.
