Dance Theatre was founded in 1986 and quickly gained national recognition
for its theme-based evening length concert works. These original works use
dance, theater, and video to explore themes ranging from science to labor
to family. Works include Home Movies (2004), Somewhere in the Dream (1999),
Body of Work (1996), The Science Project (1992), Pandora Restaurant (1990),
and Flight (1989). Everetts concerts have toured to sites such as
Dance Theater Workshop, New York; Spoleto Dance Festival, South Carolina;
and Walker Arts Center, Minnesota.
Everett also develops educational programs,
based on concepts researched for their concert works. Their programs integrating
science principles and the arts have been heavily utilized in schools, museums,
and community centers, at tour destinations and at home including at the
American Museum of Natural History, New York; Liberty Science Center, New
Jersey; Museum of Natural History, Ohio; and the North Carolina Arts and
Science Museum.
In 1990, Everett incorporated and founded
the Carriage House Stage and School. The company transformed an old carriage
house, located in the heart of an ethnically diverse neighborhood of Providence,
Rhode Island, into a studio/theater space.
The Carriage House School offers ongoing classes
in the performing arts to inner-city youth. These classes are taught by
company members and other professional artists and include: ballet, breakdancing,
creative movement, improvisational theater, choreography, hip-hop, filmmaking
and Polynesian dance. Everett builds long-term, strong relationships with
youth through professional mentorship, which includes the opportunity to
create and perform original work and assistant teaching positions. |
