ABOUT CADEN KEILA JORDAN

I am a dancer and a designer who builds stories through both movement and visual form. Currently pursuing a dual B.A. degree in Studio Art and Theatre at East Tennessee State University, I\'m interested in the spaces where choreography and tech design meet to create performance that feels alive.I\'ve taught dance across multiple studios in the tri-state area, currently at Lesa\'s School of Dance and Tri-Cities Dance Company, developing lessons rooted in technique, expression, and confidence-building. I’m certified in Cecchetti Ballet, Grades 1–6, and have experience in choreographing multi-age performance work. Beyond movement, I’ve had hands-on experience working in theatre production, from electrics at New London Barn Playhouse in New Hampshire, to set construction and stage management at Camp Chipinaw & Silver Lake in New York. These experiences sharpened my technical skill and helped me to realize just how collaboration can fuel good work.Outside rehearsals and design labs, I work part-time. Working in high-volume service environments taught me empathy, communication under pressure, and how to meet people where they are. From my experience, good art takes hustle.I currently have an interest in:• Theatre Technology & Production• Lighting / Scenic / Costume / Prop Design• Graphic Design & Creative Content I love being part of the work that brings people together on stage, in a studio, or casually.
