Notes on Choreography



Last month attending the UKSS conference in Portsmouth, I stopped in Oxford on the way South arriving 0800. Visiting Blackwell's bookshop - what bliss! I spotted Montesi's book and found a comfy armchair for more comfortable look. On the return journey, two days later, I used Park and Ride again and returned. It was worth it.

Over the years I've thought of Hodges' model as a theatre (in every sense), dance floor and the performance of health care practitioners. The wear of shoes bears testimony to the many steps about the hospital, clinic, nursing home, patient's home and community.

Choreography as a discipline naturally follows, and is more extensive than I thought.

UKSS is scheduled for Oxford in 2024, details - when I have them.
