Their education provides students with the necessary technical background that they could jump into our feature productions. Our TD and Rigging supervisor comes from a background at CADA and we look forward to following their new training program and the upcoming talents / students from CADA.”

“Students at CADA have something at their grasps that a lot of other students at other schools don’t have and that is hands on, one-on-one training with a working professional. I had a great experience teaching my students during my stay at CADA and I couldn’t help but think “I wish I had this when I was in school.”
