The European project Communicating Dance is a program focussed on developing the communication and leadership skills of the next generation of dance makers and writers/dramaturges. Kristin de Groot, artistic director of Dansateliers, choreographer Loic Perela and dramaturge Merel Heering were the Dutch participants in this project. When the Communicating Dance project almost came to an end, they chose to unlock a part of the content of this project to their local community.

They put together a program existing of brainstorming, philosophizing, interviews and practical exercises.
