Intro to Movement Improvisation Workshop

Saturday, May 16, 2026 @ 10:00 AM EDT • $42.53 (includes fees)


Description
This two-hour workshop is designed to deepen students’ access to physicality as a core tool for other forms of improvisation, including scenic and musical. Through the developing activities, students across experience levels are invited to explore movement as a primary engine for creativity and embodied stage and ensemble presence. This workshop centers on the body: how physical choices generate humor, clarity, and unexpected discoveries. Using a combination of improv games and prompts adapted entirely to movement-based work, students will strengthen their ability to lead with physical impulse, expand their expressive range, and build confidence playing boldly without relying on dialogue.

Open to students who are taking or have completed HVC’s Improv 1. No movement or dance background required. Mixed experience levels are encouraged; exercises scale naturally to meet students where they are and allow more advanced improvisers to deepen precision and range.​
