Esther Hwang.

I lead Unscripted Movement — a practice built on the idea that each body is unique, and each person has something unique to express in any given moment.

Throughout my career adventures — from nonprofit to education to data science — I've found healing in my darkest times through movement and creative expression.

I studied contemporary dance with Celeste Miller at Grinnell College. Celeste's work descends from Alwin Nikolais, who studied with the modern dance legends Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey.

I believe in the power of bringing people together to make meaning and to ignite curiosity and creativity through exploratory play!

I bring my background in community building and facilitating learning into unexpected spaces. The Unscripted Process exists to help people get unstuck and reconnected — because new problems need new approaches.

Fun facts about me: I'm a freediver (scuba diving without the oxygen tank). I sewed my wedding dress. And I dream of retiring to a tiny home in New Zealand.
