Cleats' Introdcution

My name is Cleat Dobbins and this is my third institute at Bryn Mawr.  I teach Drama at The Spring School of the Arts in Philadelphia.  I also teach adults affiliated with The Spring School.  The Arts have been part of my life for as long as I can remember and I feel very strongly about it's effects on children and our culture as a whole.  Children in all schools should be exposed to the Arts in order to get a sense of how the Arts can and do effect the lives of all human beings in a positive  way.
