Marcus received the 1994 Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Outstanding Achievement in Sound/Score/Text for his work, "Art of Human Being"   Brenda Jo Brueggemann shares in an anthology about disability and performance, how she introduces to students to her class: " I show a recorded performance of Storm Reading, especially the opening clip. I have used it to open courses on representations of disability in language, language in literature and culture. I use it first because Marcus begins with the central issue for disabled people: Their position in relation to being 'human.'" Marcus has since participated in a range of diverse projects. Since 2008, he has been collaborating with Petra Kuppers in The Olimpias Disability Culture Research Projects, and since 2010, Marcus has also worked on a number of projects with Stephen Lichty, a New York based sculptor. Marcus's poem "Disabled Country" introduces the Smithsonian's permanent web exhibition EveryBody: An Artifact History of Disability in America. In 2011, Marcus choreographed a videodance with Richard Chen See, a Paul Taylor dancer. In a 2014 video with sculptor Shane Brodie, Marcus embodies the "abstract" in abstract art. Marcus lives in Berkeley, California. His papers have been archived by the Bancroft library of the University of California at Berkeley as part of the Artists with Disabilities Oral History Project.
