Meditations on co-creative dance explorations with people with Parkinson’s

Abstract

The following meditations are reflections on co-creative dance explorations with people with Parkinson’s. Many are extracted from my Ph.D. research, an investigation of one-to-one, co-creative, somatically informed and home-based dance for people with Parkinson’s. Aiming to add context and further meaning for the reader, visual images echo the felt sense of shared dance encounters with people with Parkinson’s, their friends, families and dance artists in one-to-one, home-based sessions and community groups in the North-West of the United Kingdom.
