The multi-skilled Hannah Tasker-Poland

From Standing Room Only, 1:32 pm on 12 December 2021

Hannah Tasker-Poland may well be the most multi-skilled artist we've had on Standing Room Only over the past 20 years.

Based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Hannah's a dancer - though she prefers "movement alchemist"!  She's a choreographer, a performance, movement and burlesque artist, an actor, and a body paint and prosthetics artist.

She's also the Director of arts company projectMUSE, where she acts as a stunt performer, artist, life model, producer and tutor. 

Right now though, thanks to the lockdowns wrecking her scheduled arts projects, Hannah's working on a building site.

But soon she'll be returning to burlesque for Auckland's annual Splore Performance Festival in February.

Lynn Freeman was curious about Hannah's building site job.
