Megan’s latest work, Inner Cartography, is an evening length dance work about neuroscience and learning in the brain, and was presented at the 2010 Chicago Fringe Festival. Megan spent months researching neuroscience and collaborating 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. Dancers become neurons and molecules, the stage transforms into the space inside your brain, and the process of learning becomes illuminated from the inside and out.
