With NU.DA. – OPEN CALL we are looking for Italian choreographers and performers under 35 to enrich Italian stages with new faces, and more. During the new episodes of NU.DA. – Nuova Danza recorded in February/March 2026, young emerging artists will have the opportunity to present their work to a panel of cultural operators and Italian and international programmers. The call is reserved only to Italian choreographers or people with the Italian Tax ID code. 

Young choreographers must indicate a senior choreographer or artistic director with whom they have a previous relationship, who can present them in the episode.

As provided by the NU.DA. – Nuova Danza format, all choreographers under 35 will be introduced by their senior references telling about their works and artistic visions, thanks to video contributions and in direct dialogue with sector operators, theater directors, festivals, circuits, programmers and training centers, both Italian and foreign.

Each participant, according to their role in the dance system, enriches these conversations with insights and reflections on their professional paths and, more generally, on the current state and prospects of new Italian dance.

Each selected artist will also have an information and contact sheet within the NU.DA. Archive, accompanied by the video of the choreography presented in the broadcast.
