Abstract
From the standpoint of an intercultural communication trainer in an exploration mode, the author starts by analyzing and evaluating two Third Culture models in order to sort out their contributions to practically improving intercultural communicative performance with the stranger. In his exploration he strives to move from competence to performance by shifting the focus of the abstract potential of competence to the body as an experiencing organism and its environment, the point in a situation where performance takes place. Along his path he also discovers interfaces with related discussions (e.g. the metaphors of music and dance, the pragmatist philosophy of John Dewey and William James, neuroevolution, the deemphasis of language, the concept of the “tacit” in Knowledge management, Learning Organization and a form of communication training called the Dialogue Process). All of these interfaces together the author found are internally commensurable with each other.
