Synaptic Connections and Memory
Poe in Process
Mark Hardiman
I am becoming aware through this collaborative process that the group and I have begun to function like a brain, or rather memories within a brain. We have worked through various iterations of ways to stage scenes within the production and left them in a progressive state of development. Each time we work a scene we create an imprint on the group-mind. Over time, that memory changes, and in fact, we hope that it does. The highlights, the brilliant moments, remain glimmering and when we return to the piece we capture and recapture that. The synaptic web of our consciousness is constantly paring off what is less exceptional and helping us to both consciously and unconsciously capture the best of our work.
