Open Classes
First Street Studio

This class is an improvised movement flow. You will be held through verbal offerings of sensation, imagery, and texture. From delicate softness to heart-pumping effort, we will engage a wide spectrum of physicality. We will “shape-shift” through body consciousness and imagination. This is an invitation to simply show up to experience yourself in movement. We will learn and dance phrasework built from the improvised flow.

Support First Street Studio
Allysen Hooks Projects is proud to be a Resident Artist at First Street Studio.
First Street Studio is relocating and expanding to a new two-studio space at 979 Springdale Rd, rebranding to East Side Performing Arts (ESPA), and building a new affordable theatre space in East Austin!
We need your support to make ESPA a reality. we have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help us cover essential startup costs like lumber for sprung floors, mirrors, lighting, and theatre curtains.
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal of creating a space where the performing arts community in Austin can reflect, connect, and grow.
Together, we can make ESPA a beacon of creativity and collaboration in East Austin!
