Summary/Abstract: On the quest of expanding one’s horizons, people frequently come across… the Other. Having hopes, dreams, plans, roots, and feelings of being de-rooting, everyone is capable of exerting an influence on who they interact with, and telling one’s story through art can, eventually, lead to a thorough, deeper mutual understanding. Although unsuccessful, the application process for the Caroline Plummer Fellowship in Community Dance set the cornerstone for a new field of interest, and also for a new type of approach towards the back-stage world of performing arts – the pedagogy. The following text aims to explain not only the quintipartite structure of the proposed program, the expected outcome, the intended work method and the possible anthropological analysis derived from it, but also the presumed reasons for the response received from the host institution and even details related to what can be the cause of the Fascination of the Distance, of what makes the freedoms of mobility and movement appealing from more than a socio-economical or a physical perspective.
