connective

“To Star,” Mia Scarpa’s solo show at John Doe, is the latest example of the artist’s work as highly specific, highly personal and immediately connective.

It’s easier to enjoy the film as a political drama about deep-state mind control with a few superpowered individuals than it is as an overly strained bit of connective tissue in the MCU.

But so much of the sort of sinew or the connective tissue between scenes and sequences comes from a process of yes and, yes and, yes and, which is the first rule of improv.

And it is a connective tissue, whether or not we’re always aware of it or not.

Our country has never attempted to build the civic connective tissue that is required for us to function well as a whole diverse culture and democratic society.
