PRIVATE PRACTICE

Disappearance work in private practice with individuals combines Marcus’ experience in a range of movement disciplines and somatic modalities with a conceptual framework grounded in Husserlian Phenomenology and Lacanian psychoanalytic theory.

Neither dance therapy nor psychotherapy, individual work in Disappearance employs the Sensory Perceptual Encounter to move beyond thinking and habitual constructions and repetitions of narrative forms. The resultant loosening of the ego’s grip on the self, the purpose of which is to facilitate construction and maintenance of a consistent identity within the symbolic order, opens a range of possibilities in creative space; not least of which is the potential to cultivate awareness of moment to moment relational dynamics that underlie subjectivity.

Lived experience of the fluidity of the subject in real time is a key component in the development of true agency. To stalk unknowing, and to nurture tolerance of void or the emptiness opposed to which forms differentiate, is to invite into the realm of the possible availability to the magical and the erotic. The tyranny imposed on the subject by the symbolic order is, therefore, subtly undermined.

The opening implied herein provides the subject with a nearness to the Real, the unconditioned and unconditional nature of which informs the subject on the path of movement in the direction of freedom; if not resolution, inoculation against or cure, for suffering.

Individual session work is available in real time/space in Boulder, CO or via Zoom.
