Step inside the artistic world of Selah Dance Collective and Novus Contemporary Ballet in this immersive two-week Summer Intensive and Performance Workshop. Designed for advanced and professional dancers, this program offers a rare opportunity to train, rehearse, and perform as part of a professional creation process led by Artistic Director Meredith Ventura and guest choreographer Chloé Roberts.

Where: Santa Barbara, California, USA

When: July 27-August 8, 2026

Deadline for applications: May 15, 2026

What to Expect:
A Professional Creation Lab
Each morning begins with rigorous, inspiring training in contemporary technique, improvisation, and composition. Afternoons are devoted to collaborative rehearsal, where dancers co-create a new work alongside Meredith Ventura, embodying the emotional clarity, theatrical nuance, and contemporary modernism that define Selah’s aesthetic.

A Fully Produced Performance:
Week two transitions into theater rehearsals, staging, and lighting as the work moves toward performance. The program culminates in a public performance at Center Stage Theater — a chance to step into the spotlight and share the creative process with the Santa Barbara community.

A Supportive Artistic Community:
The intensive offers a space where dancers are encouraged to take risks, explore new movement vocabularies, and develop their artistic voice. Participants join a vibrant network of Selah and Novus company members, guest artists, and fellow emerging dancers.
