Patterns of Perception
This was fruitful collaboration between the UCL department of Neuroscience, English National Ballet, UAL, Parkinson’s UK and a group of participants who are living with Parkinson’s disease. The workshops involving art and dance movement were used as a research methodology to explore the impact of movement based therapies on the progression of Parkinson’s and as a tool to encourage discussion around Parkinson’s dementia.
The initiative has won several national awards recognising it’s innovative and collaborative approach to research and the films have been used as part of public displays at ENB and the Wellcome Institute as well as being edited to work across multiple online platforms to raise awareness about the condition.
