I want to practice maneuvers, descending turns and basic manual
maneuvering in IMC conditions. Is it possible to get ATC to assign you
a 'practice area' in real IMC environment? Say a block of airspace
like they do for aerobatics? Of course I would first do this with a
CFII.


Sure. You'll get a chunk of airspace defined by a block altitude and
maximum distance from some fix or VOR radials. Your CFII may have already
done this.
