The Choreographic City: Flows, Streams and Trajectories of Bodies in Space

This contribution roots on the explorations of the geographies of the Chania Dance Days Festival 2018-2019. The communicative space built by the festival, activates a conversation that transcends the limits of the festival program and venues. It builds a choreography that grows across the city in a network of enhanced conversations that fly through social media. This research uses digital methods and geolocative data to track and to map, diagram and to explore the features and the weights, the communicative capital and the symbolization of the monuments of the Mediterranean city to understand this cultural conversation. We explore the textures of place as a backdrop for the Chania’s festival communicative space which is built by organizers, dancers, choreographers, tourists and visitors.
