HANNAH HARTWELL
Actor,
Singer, Musician, Entertainer, Writer and Facilitator.
ABOUT ME
With bases in South Wales, London and the South East, I am a performer passionate about using my art to inspire, entertain, and inform.
​
Performance is powerful, and I love connecting with audiences through classical and contemporary text, music, classical and modern song, poetry, movement and circus.
​
I was born in Kenya, with a family history grounded in activism and humanitarianism, and am always excited by the potential of performance to inspire social change.
