The dance careers in the 21st century are changing. The diversity within the professional practice is becoming increasingly large and the actual career of a professional dancer includes a lot of transfers and hybridity. In our academies we aimed to widen the perspective on the career of the dancer because we saw that the narrow scope of educating a dancer exclusively for the stage did not reflect the actual career of dancers who make many transfers in their careers.We also saw students entering the academy with degrees in psychology, medicine, literature or mathematics who would benefit from an inclusive view on their career. The current generation is more interested in finding a purposeful and fulfilling career, rather than a successful one; they do not want to follow the path of those that went before them, they wish to create their own work and decide for themselves what constitutes a successful career. Our academies observed a strong need for skills that reflect the current reality of the contemporary dance artist: from that point of departure we set up the project.The project focused on the Transferable Skills of Dance and Movement Practice and how these skills could offer creative answers to particular needs in other sectors such as healthcare, urban development and somatic practices. The aim was to prepare dance students of our academies, as well as future dance professionals at large, as early as possible for their future professional careers, to enlarge the potential environments where their skills could be applied and increase their employability. By redefining and broadening the vision on the dance career, we aimed for reinventing dance education and developing new curricula that focus on transferable skills which are also applicable outside of dance as a performing art practice, and by supporting our students in developing more entrepreneurial skills and ICT-competence. We asked ourselves; how can dancers diversify and pro-actively create their own job opportunities, not only as performers but to expand the benefits of dance in society, beyond the narrow scope of dance solely created for the theatre stage and art for the sake of art.These objectives were achieved. In line with the title of the project: Inclusive Dance and Movement practice, the transferable skills of the dance artist, the project has helped to redefine dance education and has contributed to career development and the positioning of dance in society from an inclusive approach. The project approach was inclusive: inclusiveness of body-mind, sectors and groups with diverse abilities, spaces and practices. The possibilities of dance in other contexts and/or sectors and vice versa has resulted in an understanding of transferable skills of the dance artist, (re)new(ed) (educational) practices, on-/offline sharing and learning with digital means and a growing learning community in this field. The international co-operation included Fontys Dance Academy, Artesis Royal Conservatoire Antwerp and Duncan Centre Prague as the three core partners, together with Dans Brabant/Tilburg Dansstad, Demos Antwerp and Parkinson Help vz (regional work field partners).Each partner adopted a theme and created a practice-based research trajectory: •Re-thinking Bodies (Antwerp) (ultimately defined as Dance and Diversity)•Re-designing Spaces (Tilburg) (ultimately defined as Dance and Public Space)•Somatics (Prague) (ultimately defined as Dance and Somatics)The project involved activities including student and teacher exchange in three intensive study weeks, hosted by each academy, and the building of an open and online learning community with curated material in the form of live-streams, interviews, documentaries, vlogs, film clips and articles. At the end of the project, the first 120 hours curated content was made available open and online at the platform that was created as part of the project: www.inclusivedance.eu.The platform exemplifies and inspires ways to transfer knowledge and experience from dance and movement practice into other, non-dance focused practices and contexts; tools from dance and movement techniques, perspectives and creative concepts that can be integrated in other sectors.The platform contains the curated content (Explore), but there is also room for every interested member to share his or her own experiences and ideas (Share) and to connect to others who share the same interests (Connect). It is our enduring ambition to further strengthen the platform into a hybrid community of practice (online and offline) of dance students, teachers and professionals, that connect with other fields of work, expertise and disciplines, inside and outside the artistic domain.This project had a profound effect on how we look and define a dancer’s career, on our responsibility as educators and how we are now designing our education and collaborating with the work field and with students and teachers within our academy.
