About Movement Workshop Group

Co-founded in 2005 by Leslie Guyton and Liza Hostetler-Ingalls, Movement Workshop Group (MWG) is a company of dancers, actors, and musicians who coalesce to create distinct dance theatre pieces that not only provide an evening of entertainment but also provoke thought.

The work is collaborative, drawing inspiration from different musicians, writers, choreographers, and the performers themselves. Under the Artistic Direction of Guyton, they invite the audience into their world; a place where questions are asked without judgment and the imagination can run free. This joining of artistic voices makes the Movement Workshop Group a unique creative force.
