PEDAGOGY

The School Of Disappearance as a pedagogical system, was founded in 2013. It was initially modeled, in form, on the Slow Training For Embodied Projects (2008-20012) a physically based artistic training, developed in collaboration with Wilma Vesseur of the Netherlands; and upon Marcus' prior pedagogy, Sensation and Form and Technique for a Soft Body (1991-2008), trainings in dance composition and performance, and physical technique, respectively.

The pedagogy is a somatically grounded inquiry into the nature of forms and how they arise and dissolve, within worlds. All phenomena, whether experienced as internal, external, physical or psychological, are included as potential material for phenomenological investigation.

To limit the field of inquiry, structurally, the School breaks down all material for inquiry into seven concentrations:

Body 2. Space, 3. Time, 4. Subject, 5. Composition, 6. Event; and 7. Appearance

Group classes and individual study are offered.
