This month-long program, for ages 16 through adult, focuses on creating a supportive ensemble of dancers and exposing participants to Inlet’s collaborative creative process, while increasing technical and performing skills.  Inlet’s SDI intentionally provides participants the experience of being part of the professional company. Participants will learn the techniques for building and performing that are regularly utilized by the company. SDI participants will spend the month dancing alongside the Inlet Company Members and the dancers in the Inlet Trainee & Apprentice Program. The SDI culminates with two free public performances at Cain Park Evans Amphitheater.

Curriculum includes:
-Hawkins-based release technique
-Pilobolus-based nontraditional partnering
-Performance improvisation
-Collaborative creation of new work

The program will take place at various studio locations throughout Cleveland!
