Choreographer Megan Rhyme has spent the last six months researching neuroscience and conversing with neuroscientist Miriam Sachs, PhD at University California – San Diego. The result is a work about body mapping, a term used to describe the spatial distribution of neurons in the motor cortex of the brain and the patterns of neurons that reflect our movement experiences. A community of four people struggle with the creation of new body maps and the constant change present in the maps and themselves, and reveal the pressures and emotional burdens we put on ourselves when learning.
