Originally from the beautiful village at the end of the world that most people know as New Zealand, Hannah Deans has been throwing herself in and out of storytelling projects since her first foray onto the stage as a murdering street cat, aged 11. At 19, Hannah’s first self-produced theatre show (writer, producer, actor), Flatmate Wanted, shocked, delighted and confused audiences so much they gave her the coveted Hot New Thing Award at the Wellington Fringe Festival. Since then she has produced numerous short films, curated art collectives, organised live music performances and facilitated a variety of creative projects. For the last 4 years Hannah has been embedded in developing an extensive extracurricular programme at dBs Berlin.
