What Do  You Do With An Idea? 
WORLD PREMIERE:
Notes From the Author

Author, Kobi Yamada
Inlet Dance Theatre's "What Do You Do With An Idea?" is a dance-theatre adaptation of the New York Times bestselling children's book by Kobi Yamada, illustrated by Mae Besom (©Compendium, Inc). We are excited to announce that author, Kobi Yamada, will be at the world premiere, March 21 at 7:00pm, and will be holding a book signing following the show! We chatted with Kobi earlier this year and wanted to share some of that conversation with all of you.

"Building CLE" World Premiere

We hear many stories throughout our lives about historical places, events, and things that make up our neighborhoods and cities. But, rarely do we actually get to meet those people who made the history happen. Cleveland, OH, like any other city, is full of stories, memories, and livelihoods that are worth sharing. Inlet Dance Theatre has the privilege of telling some of those stories; stories from the individuals who literally helped in the building of Cleveland. 

Thanks to the Ohio Art's Council Creative Aging Initiative, Judson Manor, Judson Park, and the Inlet staff and faculty, Inlet will premiere the finished "Building CLE" at The Cleveland History Museum | Western Reserve Historical Center based on a 2-year relationship with both Judson Manor & Judson Park residents who have been apart of Cleveland's history for many years!  

Why Do You Choose Inlet?

Inlet is in the middle of its 17th season! There are many reasons to celebrate the life of the organization, and we are going to start by celebrating the lives that have been impacted by Inlet Dance Theatre. This article is "Why Inlet?" because no matter why, how, or when people were involved with Inlet, they have a story to tell and an experience worth acknowledging.
