Everett
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). Everett’s
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.
Availability & Rates:
Carriage
House School classes run Monday-Friday, 3:30-6:30.
