Contact Improv: Marcus van Duren
Marcus van Duren is a dancer and teaching artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Marcus has intensively studied movement and dance performance since his discovery of contact improvisation in 2013. He has had the pleasure of studying with Chris Aiken, Angie Hauser, Frey Faust, Scott Wells, Kathleen Hermesdorf, Ray Chung, Martin Keogh, Nita Little, Sarah Shelton Mann and many others. Marcus actively investigates new ways of moving and understanding movement as a member of the international Axis Syllabus community. In addition to appreciating dance as a performing art, Marcus sees dance, especially contact improvisation, as a life practice. Marcus is endlessly curious about how dance can be used to access different states of being and uncover new ways of relating to self and other.
