Ohio Channel Presents - Creating, Community
 
Play
 
Following the journey of how a conversation becomes a show, "Creating, Community" peeks into the highly-collaborative creative process of Inlet Dance Theatre, a Cleveland based company on a mission to further people through dance. In 2020, composer Ty Alan Emerson (director of the Cleveland Chamber Collective) connected with Bill Wade, (founder and executive/artistic director of Inlet Dance Theatre) with ideas of creating a new ballet reimagining the trajectory of Shakespeare's characters from 'The Tempest.' This film follows the artists through 2021 as they develop and share their ideas, build on each other's genius, laugh, and finally premiere the new work onstage at the Cain Park Evans Amphitheatre in Cleveland, Ohio.
