Although we're a regional organization, CADA/West Membership's also available to artists and students from across so-called Canada. If you’re already a member of CADA-East or RQD, you’re only eligible for Associate Professional level membership. This open membership policy recognizes the nomadic worklife of many dance artists and the distribution of the dance community across rural and urban centres.
To start, identify the level of membership to apply for [see above]. If you don’t identify with any one category, please Contact us. We want to support you in your practice and we’re happy to discuss which programs will serve you best.
You can include a biography in your application, instead of a CV. Just make sure it details your training, performing and the context of your practice, wherever and whenever it takes place.
