Move with curiosity.
Connect with community.
Create with confidence.

My name is Esther Hwang, and 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 to dance — I've found healing in my darkest times through movement and creative expression.

I studied contemporary dance with Celeste Miller, whose training comes from the likes of Alwin Nikolais, Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey. It is from these bodies of knowledge that I ground my practice.

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.
