The project focuses on the transferable skills of dance and movement practice and how these skills can offer creative answers to needs in other sectors such as health care, architecture and urban development or human resources. We want to prepare our students as early as possible for their future professional careers, enlarge the potential environments where their skills can be applied and increase their employability. The individual students will need to develop more entrepreneurial skills allowing them to create their own job opportunities and they need increased ICT-literacy and competences to support this. The ultimate objective of the project is to redefine the vision of the body in dance and to reinvent dance education by developing new curricula that focus on transferable skills which are also applicable outside of dance as a performing art practice and which offer creative answers to particular needs of other sectors. We will focus on the following transferable skills: Rethinking bodies will focus on the application of the somatic skills of the dancers outside the field of dance in therapeutic or health care contexts. Redesigning spaces will focus on the application of the spatial and social skills of dancers to improve the quality of public places and increase the social cohesion in underdeveloped neighbourhoods. Redefining career will focus on how dancers can diversify and pro-actively create their own job opportunities, for instance how to apply their social and communicative skills within the field of human resources. The three core partners are all leading institutions in the field of dance education nationally and internationally. They share the objective of constantly renewing their curriculum in order to prepare their students for both the opportunities and challenges of their future careers. We will work cross sectorial: for instance dance & health; dance & urban development; dance & human resources. These other professional fields have particular needs to which movement practice can offer unique answers. The first of the three cross sectorial partners DEMOS has expertise in the social artistic and intercultural field of culture, sports and youth work. With this project, they meet their objective for a more inclusive society, where the excluded sections of the community are empowered by inspiring artistic experience. The second cross-sector partner Tilburg Dansstad includes all other professional dance organizations in Tilburg and has developed with projects such as the Dance Month and the Dance Night a particular expertise in dance in public spaces. The third cross-sector partner, the Jana Deyla Conservatory, is the only education institution of its kind in Central Europe offering music education to blind and visually impaired students and students with Specific Learning Disabilities. They believe that movement practice will enhance the learning and confidence of these students. Other partners will be added to this in function of the content of the Intensive Study Programmes. Three Intensive Study Programmes necessary to develop and test the new curriculum will be held, one in each country, curated by one of the partners at which staff, teachers, students and professionals of the working field of all the partners will participate to exchange their best practices. We will record the sessions of the Intensive Study Programmes with Mediasite, (a system and platform for recording and webcasting), so that the original sessions can also be followed by groups of students and teachers of the different partner organizations at home with live stream, allowing them to participate and give real time feedback on them using video conferencing. Part of the recordings of the live stream will be used as the video content for the Learning Units that will distributed as open courseware. The main intellectual output of the project will be the open courseware; consisting of three interrelated Learning Units of 40 hours of study load Afterwards each partner will integrate all three Learning Units in to their curricula, and look for means to continue to develop them. The active dissemination of the Learning Units as open courseware to other dance education institutes, arts institutes and related sectors will further enlarge the impact. At different stages of its development the project will be presented to the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA). The project will be presented to all members, accompanied by explicit actions (such as questionnaires) to obtain feedback.
