Mel Brierley, one of our special partner artists talked to us about phrases including the heart:

• Heart felt; Heart on your sleeve; Heavy heart; Change of heart; Heart beat; Open hearted; Heart to heart

If you would like to continue the sharing on the dancers’ community, we would love to hear from you about:

• The heart – the rhythm, pulse, opening and closing of the heart space – how does this resonate with you or feature in your life?
• The above phrases about the heart – an artistic response to these phrases

Perhaps your dance experience this year, or the experience you have had during the filming process with us (if you have taken part) might inspire you to respond to this theme.

In addition, one of our artist collaborators Emma Brown, created the attached prints after being a participant in the last class of the season on Monday 26th July. 

As usual, you could send us any contributions or thoughts in any format. Examples include:

• A postcard
• A drawing
• A voice recording
• Film / Photography
• Poetry
• Written personal reflection / Words or lines in a word bank (unstructured)

Please send your contributions to dancing.parkinsons@gmail.com

There is no deadline to contribute your ideas and we would love to receive them at any time
