RU180: DANCER & VISUAL ARTIST ANDREW MARCUS ON THE SCHOOL OF DISAPPEARANCE

A dancer and visual artist, Andrew Marcus founded DISAPPEARANCE in 2010 to explore boundary space between the ordinary, the beautiful, and the sublime. DISAPPEARANCE develops practices to effectively transcend such boundaries; to encourage experience of the magical and the erotic; and to unequivocally engage the real. Marcus holds an MFA in Dance and Performance from Arizona State University. His experiments with improvisation and somatic practices date to 1980, and he is active internationally. The SCHOOL OF DISAPPEARANCE opened in 2013. https://schoolofdisappearance.tumblr.com This episode also available at YouTube: https://youtu.be/mI2W1otunm8 DISAPPEARANCE CLASS FOR CONTINUING STUDY (Via Zoom): 8 Wednesday Mornings, January 5 - February 23, 2022,  9:00-11:00 AM MST US. $220* 8 Wednesday Mornings, March  30 - May 18, 2022, 9:00 - 11:00 AM MST US. $220* In Studio, Boulder, CO:  6 Saturday Afternoons, January 8 – February 12, 2-4 PM, MST $165* 6 Saturday Afternoons, March 26 - April 30. 12, 2-4 PM, MST $165* *In the event of financial challenge, please contact me to make an alternative arrangement.  No one wishing to experience the work will be excluded for lack of funds.
