Labyrinth: Jim Henson, adolescence, and solving mazes w/ Jillian & Meredith
Labyrinth production
The Dark Crystal -> Labyrinth -> Mirrormask : a spiritual trilogy. Jim Henson. Beverly Crusher’s choreography.
Fantasy Rules and Dream Worlds
Our difficulty with fantasy again, and further difficulty specific to dreamland stories. Nothing makes sense, cause and effect cannot be counted on, and essentially nothing is on the line. Yet Labyrinth is still delightful (because nostalgia!).
Relating to adolescents
Identifying with adults now more, since we are adults.
Dreams
Dreaming. Animal models. Rats and humans and dreaming during non-REM sleep.
The Greek Myth of the Labyrinth
Minotaur, reverse-minotaur. Plus, a succinct and accurate retelling of the story.
#science
Maze-solving and cognition
Humans are okay. Rats are okay. Dogs, not so much. “Ecocentric cognitive mapping.” FMRI and navigation in virtual reality.
The bog of eternal stench
Irreparable putrescence. Not something that is on you, but something that infuses your very flesh to continue to be stinky. Or, magic.
