HISTORY
Nebula Dance Lab was founded in 2010 under the Artistic Direction of Devyn Duex to provide an incubator for creative art in motion- allowing the professional company of artists in modern and contemporary dance the opportunity to experiment, push boundaries, and create new language in dance through physical exploration. Nebula has quickly garnered the attention of the industry showcasing their work from intimate venues to large theaters, outreach to concerts.Nebula has been invited to showcase their work in the US and Internationally.
We are gratified to give back to the community that supports us through our outreach program, which provides performances and movement workshops, and Student Matinee Program at The Lobero Theater busing in students for a live theater experience, thanks in partnership with The Lobero Fund, Santa Barbara Education Foundation, CAPTRUST Community Foundation, Towbes Performing Arts Fund, Ann Jackson Family Foundation, CA Arts Council and the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation.
