10th Dance Days Chania
CHANIA 23.11.2019
For the Festival’s 10th year of implementation and its 2nd consecutive year of the “New creators in the city“ section, we aim, among other activities, to establish and further enhance a platform supporting new creators. The chosen artists will travel and stay in Chania, in order to create and present works based on the urban fabric and environment, transforming the urban landscape into an organic and interactive dance scene.
New artists from European countries are invited to submit proposals for site specific creations, inspired and motivated by the city of Chania. The different point of view and approach on the one hand will constitute the channel for new collaborations, facilitate the geographical translocation of the art of dance and promote the concept of cooperation and on the other hand will highlight the meaning of creative partnership and syncretism of different perspectives and social conditions.
We cite below the terms and conditions for implementing and participating in the “New creators in the city” section
