I done it via Ventuz.Osc.dll, Ventuz.Osc.chm in ventuz root folder and kinect sdk. You can use source of kinect sdk example, like KinectExplorer, to write in addition some piece of code.
Instruction:
-Read Ventuz.Osc.chm
-Read KinectSDK Documentation dot chm
-Open visual studio -> KinectExplorer project (from kinect sdk folder) , or whatever you use.
-Attach Ventuz.Osc.dll to project
-Embed your code into KinectExplorer. KinectExplorer give you data about position of each part of body. Pack that data into OSC message and send via Ventuz.Osc.dll tools.
-Receive message from your "Kinect->Ventuz bridge" application in Ventuz.
-Use like you wish

Warning: 1) Afterwards, open first your "Kinect->Ventuz bridge" application then Ventuz.
2) And you probably will need change port 7000 to another in Ventuz OSC Nodes and "Kinect->Ventuz bridge" app for compatibility.

TUIO is OSC extension so using this method you can write a "Kinect->TUIO bridge" but its a more complexity.

The second method is download some "Kinect->TUIO bridge" from TUIO.org
