BIOGRAPHY:
Hannah is a director, choreographer, and writer whose practice centers heavily around collaboration, adaptability, and consent. She is particularly interested in stories that focus on families, women, behavior, and community. Initially trained as a dancer, she expanded into theatre during her time in college, focusing primarily on directing. She spent a year in the UK focused on directing and became particularly fascinated by Greek theatre, resulting in eventually writing and directing an adaptation of Sophocles' "Electra". As a choreographer, Hannah has worked with a wide range of ages and abilities in both musicals and dance pieces. Her most recent work, "All Except One," was selected for performance at The Ballet Alliance's 2026 festival in Reno, NV, and her piece "introspection" was selected as a finalist in their 2021 Emerging Choreographers Competition. Hannah holds a Bachelor of Arts from Sarah Lawrence College, where she studied theatre and psychology.
