Hannah is a interdisciplinary artist based in Bristol, working with performance, theatre, dance, writing and collaboration.

Her performance practice is rooted in contemporary movement and devised performance making, and has included collaboration with costume, sound, and participatory work with audiences. She has made solo theatre shows, participatory and site specific performances, workshops, collaborative bookworks, experiments with film, audio and most recently two short story collections.

Hannah's practice is concerned with understanding and reframing creative practices, salvaging what is at risk of being lost and prioritising the emotional experience. Hannah has made work on dancing, singing, drawing, anger, darkness, music and the use of public space.

Her artistic process aims to uncover or delve into something that needs to be re-defined, or space created for. Her own writing often results in an honest detailed personal meditation; a kind of opening.

Hannah has an MA in Performance Research from the University of Bristol 2010/11, and a BA in Theatre with Visual Practices from Dartington College of Arts, First Class, 2006 – 2009.

Hannah’s first work for theatre ‘Echo Beach’ touring nationally and internationally to New Zealand, Australia and Spain.
