 s Description\nPatterns and Habits\nThis session we will focus on Awarenes
 s\, bringing our attention to the patterns and habits in our dancing. What
  patterns of movement do we habitually use? What assumptions do we make ab
 out how our partners will move? How can we disrupt these habits to give ou
 rselves new possibilities and pathways in our dancing?\n\nNoel Perkins\nI 
 originally trained and worked for many years as a sculptor before beginnin
 g to study dance and movement improvisation in 2002. At the time the chang
 e seemed quite natural as both were physical practices- sculpture was a ki
 nd of very slow dance and dance a form of fast sculpture. Contact Improvis
 ation has been a core interest from the start and my practice has been sha
 ped by many wonderful teachers including Janis Claxton\, KirstieSimson\, K
 eith Hennessy\, Jess Curtis and many more. My work has evolved through a f
 ascination with improvisation as a performance that creates itself moment 
 by moment and alongside CI\, Butoh and Action Theatre are strong influence
 s.\n\nIn teaching Contact Improvisation I work with the principles of CI t
 hat I believe are essential to the form- listening\, sensing\, grounding\,
  moving from centre and flow. I try to create environments where we can le
 arn by doing to discover and integrate these as embodied principles in our
  dance. Whilst the palette of Contact "moves" is useful to learn I'm inter
 ested in balancing technique with the unique dance that emerges from deep 
 sensing and listening and how we can use this to dance more fully\, expans
 ively and consciously.\n\nI passionately believe in the transformative pow
 er of art and have worked extensively in the field of arts for health. I a
 m an associate lecturer at the Peninsula Medical School Exeter and Plymout
 h where I teach Contact Improvisation and embodied creativity to medical s
 tudents. I co-facilitate Dartington Contact Improvisation and independentl
 y teach CI\, creative movement and improvisation.
