Re.Search is a professional dance program created by Nuova Officina della Danza (NOD) for dancers who are ready to step into the core of choreographic creation.

Starting from September 2026, the program previously known as NUOVA X will be presented under the name Re.Search, with a renewed focus on choreographic research, creative processes, and tailored mentoring.

The program offers a space where dancers refine their artistic maturity, expand their creative awareness, and learn how to collaborate within a real creation context, supported by continuous guidance and reflection.

In Re.Search, dancers work closely with choreographers on original creative processes developed entirely within structured five-week residencies. Participants become active contributors to the emergence of the work, from the first intuition to daily transformations, from experimentation to the construction of form.
