In collaboration with The Guildford School of Acting, Get Into Theatre and The Federation of Drama Schools, Hannah was part of a nationwide inclusion project in which she constructed and facilitated workshops for schools in regional theatres across the UK. She provided exciting career-focussed workshops aiming to illustrate the viability of further study of the creative industries in Higher Education whilst also encouraging school engagement with local theatres.
These outreach workshops were designed with the intention of raising the aspirations of disadvantaged young people. This collaboration was designed to support school children and teachers, particularly those from backgrounds currently underrepresented in the creative industries training sector.

Hannah is currently in collaboration with Chichester Festival Youth Theatre on an exciting project that combines live theatre, motion capture and volumetric capture technology.
‘Project Alpha’ is an R&D pilot project on hybrid performance in which we explore the interaction between digital and human characters. The project employs Volumetric Capture, ‘Unreal Engine’ and Motion Capture. This allowed practitioners and youth members to make 3D animation scenes which were projected onto a tailor made screen, allowing the performers to ‘come in and out of the digital world.’
The R&D required practitioners to think outside the box, inspire and shape the contributions of participants and collaborate with a team of creative technologists.

Hannah is a regular leader for Perform’s weekly workshops that use a unique mix of drama, dance and singing to bring out every child's true potential.
Unlike traditional stage schools, a child development is at the heart of these classes. Rather than teaching rigorous techniques, memorisation and repetition to produce a 'perfect performance', Hannah uses drama-based games, exercises, songs and dances in an imaginative and fun way to help boost child development.
Hannah also has years of experience leading Workshops with KS1 & KS2 in primary schools, with children aged 3-12.
