Re.Search Session A is divided into two parallel creation groups running simultaneously in different studios.

Emilie Leriche and Roy Assaf will be the choreographers of Session A2, a professional dance program with Artistic Director Andrea Costanzo Martini and Mentoring Director Spenser Theberge.

Applications are now open.

Where: NOD Nuova Officina della Danza, Via Mantova 34 Torino, Italy

When: September 2 – November 27, 2026

Deadline for applications: As long as there is space. The number of participants is limited. First come first serve.

Re.Search is a professional dance program created by NOD for dancers who wish to immerse themselves in choreographic creation within a research-driven environment supported by tailored mentoring.

Structured from September to June, the program brings together internationally active choreographers and a selected group of dancers working in depth on original creations developed entirely within five-week creative residencies.

Rather than learning existing repertory, dancers become active participants in the emergence of the work: entering the choreographer’s creative process from the first research phase through experimentation, transformation, and composition.

Each trimester includes:
• Two five-week creation processes with guest choreographers
• Tailored mentoring integrated throughout the journey
• Open Rehearsals at the end of each process
• A professional environment focused on collaboration, adaptability, and artistic development

The program opens with three introductory mentoring days designed to prepare the group, build cohesion, and introduce the working framework that will support the full creative journey.

Participation Options:
• 1 session of your choice (A, B, or C)
• 2 sessions
• Full academic year (September – June)

Schedule:
• Guest choreographer creation process: Monday to Friday, 14:30 – 18:30
• Ballet class: Monday / Wednesday / Friday, 9:00 – 10:15

Open Rehearsal:
Each five-week cycle concludes with a studio Open Rehearsal — an open moment in which the work is shared as it is, without the necessity of arriving at a final result.
Artistic Director: Andrea Costanzo Martini
Mentoring Director: Spenser Theberge
