Street Performing Workshop Series
This workshop series supports emerging and early career artists who want to develop street performance skills and gain real world experience in a supportive, low pressure environment.
Street theatre is one of the most accessible forms of live performance. It asks artists to be creative, adaptable and able to connect quickly with people from all walks of life.
Participants will begin by learning core street performance skills in a training environment. They will then create a short street theatre piece and test it with a live audience on the street, followed by feedback and mentoring from experienced professional performers.
- Participants will explore skills including:
- creating spectacle with minimal resources
- reading and engaging an audience
- working with audience volunteers
- improvisation and adaptability
- using voice and physical presence to hold attention
- building simple, flowing performance routines
Street performing can open pathways to:
- earning income through performance
- touring locally and internationally
- working independently as an artist
- performing confidently in different environments
- connecting with diverse audiences and creative networks
Street performing is a powerful training ground for pe1rformers and a pathway towards artistic independence.

Your Teacher
Hannah spends most of her time traveling around the country and the world entertaining audiences of all shapes and sizes. A graduate of Flipside Youth Circus and The National Institute of Circus Arts, she had many successes in her career.
She has created 3 solo shows which have toured both nationally and internationally. She has been nominated for and won multiple awards at Fringe Festivals sometimes winning multiple awards in one festival. In 2011 Hannah was invited to contribute to an internationally renown creative development program in Spain and in 2013 she performed for the royal family of Brunei. 2014 saw Hannah take her first independently created and produced production (Pants Down Circus ROCK) to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it received rave reviews and standing ovations continuing on to tour extensively around Australia and across 4 continents receiving numerous awards along the way. In 2015 she completed the first of many international tours with her solo street theatre show celebrating strong mothers (The Big Wheel Show), which encourages audiences to appreciate the power of the women in their own families. On the back of the success of The Big Wheel Show Hannah created 2 more shows that address a similar message. With the exception of a short break in 2019 to become a mother herself, Hannah has been touring ever since.
Hannah is a strong woman, acrobat, aerialist, base, clown, street performer, teacher and mother. Circus is her life
