Everett Curriculum: The Monday Foundation classes will include Acting, Movement and Dance and Voice. Syllabi will be available to students in the classroom and emailed to families. Additional Electives, Workshops and KIDSTAGE classes will be encouraged and available at no additional charge during the school year.

Voice: Students will be placed in classes according to experience and demonstrated skills in music theory and sight-reading. We offer both singing classes in the master class format and voice and diction classes for advanced actors. (Private voice lessons do not take the place of a master class in singing that emphasizes theory, harmony and sight- reading. But voice lessons do have their own value and are highly encouraged.)

Movement and Dance: Students learn skills and techniques for controlling and using their bodies as actors and mastering challenging choreography.

Movement for Actors classes help students express character, emotion, status and period through movement using various techniques including Alexander, Commedia, Lecoq, Viewpoints and Suzuki.

Dance classes provide tools to increase flexibility and improve core strength. Students learn essential theatre dance steps, and the fundamentals of turns and jumps. Students will explore acting through dance, specificity of movement, dancing with strength, and selling a dance number. The goal of Institute dance is to improve dance technique and performance skills, and prepare students for auditions, call backs, or any future musical theatre dance experience. Additional Institute and KIDSTAGE dance and movement classes are highly encouraged.

Acting: Institute students will develop acting techniques through classes that include character development, ensemble building, improvisation, audition/callback technique, and monologue and/or scene-study using contemporary plays, scenes for film, and must-know theatre literature. Work in class will help students embrace the belief that “I am enough”. Classes will explore various acting methods and techniques throughout their years of study including: Viewpoints, Meisner, Jory, Improvisation, Suzuki and Stanislavsky.
