Hannah Buckley

Hannah Buckley is a dancer and choreographer based in Leeds. Her practice as an artist is rooted in processes that ask questions about dance, embodiment, health and wellbeing, She is interested in collaboration and co-creation with other people, participants and communities. She believes in the tension and skill of crafting art works whilst simultaneously letting things emerge.

In 2021 Hannah began a diploma training as a ‘Somatic Movement Educator & Therapist’, studying with the Institute for Integrative Bodywork & Movement Therapy. As she moves into her final year this training is weaving itself into all elements of her creative practice.

As a performer Hannah has worked nationally and internationally as part of festivals such as Manchester International Festival, the Venice Biennale and Transform Festival. Hannah’s work has been supported by organisations such as Arts Council England, Yorkshire Dance, Dance4 and The Place.

Hannah has an ongoing collaboration with her twin sister Amy, a photographer based in NYC, which began in 2009. Their work has been shown venues such as Manchester Art Gallery, Nikolaj Kunsthal Copenhagen and MILK Gallery NYC.
