Careers.Broadway is intended to be a resource through which students and interested people of all ages find information and opportunities relating to careers in the Broadway industry. We have tried to include as much information as we could find, and we will update the site whenever more information comes to our attention. While many people are aware of the jobs that are visible when attending theatre (actors, musicians, ushers, etc.), there are many behind-the-scenes jobs that make shows happen as well. We hope you enjoy learning more about these exciting careers!

If you know of a job or webpage that would be a good addition to this site, please contact us.

Careers.Broadway is a program of The Broadway League, the national trade association for the Broadway industry. Each year, League members bring Broadway to more than 30 million people in New York and more than 200 cities across the U.S. and Canada. Learn More

What Does a Movement Coach Do?

A MOVEMENT COACH works with performers, dancers and actors to enhance storytelling through physicality and dance. Different from a CHOREOGRAPHER or DIRECTOR, a MOVEMENT COACH builds upon the already established blocking, choreography and text. A MOVEMENT COACH may also teach classes based in techniques such as The Alexander Technique, The Suzuki Method, Viewpoint Techniques and many more.
