Move Your Tale

Specialties

Improv and Storytelling for kids and teens. Classes, camps and shows. Move Your Tale is proud to offer the most hands on early performing arts experience in Austin.

Spontaneous, collaborative and frequently hilarious, our work encourages kids to communicate ideas with flexibility and to listen generously to others.

Ample performance and production opportunities provide the chance to expand skills and to develop new ones. Our weekly children’s shows and monthly teen shows give our students and our audience the chance to get up on stage or enjoy live performance from the audience.

History

Established in 2007.

ColdTowne Theater, Austin’s première comedy conservatory pairs with Move Your Tale’s child centered, play based philosophy to provide a purposefully positive and empowering performing arts experience.

Founded by owner Kristin Henn in response to the need for child centered, process focused early performing arts experiences for her own children. Move Your Tale originally focused on creative drama and movement as a means to encourage the exploration of stories and storytelling. As we have grown and developed a partnership with ColdTowne Theater, we have expanded the classes, camps and shows we offer to young children, simultaneously developing a strong improv and storytelling program for kids and teens.
