"THANKS! to Keith Johnstone" and everyone who made IMPROVSTOCK 2009 a success.

We are already planning for next year, so if you missed out on 2009, make plans to come for 2010.

So what exactly is a “Skwalking Head”?

Is it merely a misspelling of the noise birds make, or does it have anything at all to do with “walking”? And who are the “heads” being referred to?

SKWALKING HEADS PRODUCTIONS, a Performing Arts Production Company based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offers innovative performances in Dance, Theatre, Mime, and Improvisation. The Production Team members are familiar faces in the Theatre Community of Chattanooga: Ray, Colleen, Jessica and Zach Laliberte, and the newest member, Jerry Bowman

The Laliberte family of Signal Mountain has been collaborating for years to create Dance, Theater, Storytelling, and Puppetry Productions in Chattanooga and abroad. Both Ray and Colleen Laliberte have directed for the Signal Mountain Playhouse, and Jessica has been the choreographer for Annie, the King and I, and South Pacific, (at the Signal Mountain Playhouse) in addition to teaching dance courses at the Center for Creative Arts. Jessica's husband, Jerry Bowman has been a creative force in Chattanooga for decades, including serving as faculty member at Chattanooga State's Professional Actor Training Program.

If you take a look around the lobby at the Chattanooga Theatre Center you’ll find photos of every Laliberte Family member. For the past five summers, Jessica Laliberte has returned from Chicago to Co-Direct Summer Performing Arts camps and Puppet Camps with her mom, Colleen. In fact the collaborations were so numerous and often that they created their own production company, “SKWALKING HEADS PRODUCTIONS”.

The sign on the office door reads, “Skwalking Heads Productions, Enter Walking, Exit Skwalking!”.
