Hannah Littman

Teaching Artist

Hannah Littman (they/them) is a movement artist originally from Los Angeles currently working in Western Massachusetts and New York City. Their research draws on their longtime fascination with American media institutions to investigate what it means to be looked at by exploring ordinary movement, surreal landscapes, and audience participation, which, in turn, has sent them questioning modes of dance archive. They have performed choreography by Angie Hauser, Gabby Carmichael, Merce Cunningham, Bill T. Jones, and Adam Weinert. Hannah’s choreographic work has been featured at Movement Research, Green Space, and BAAD!. Additionally, they have presented their scholarly research on alternative approaches to historical restagings at conferences held by the Dance Studies Association and the American College Dance Association. Beyond their independent work, Hannah is a co-founder and the lead producer of the 46 Minutes Collective—a performance collective focused on developing time-based experimental new work and offering programming to emerging artists—through which they have developed work in-residence at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park and presented at IndyFringe Theater Festival, The Tank, and Brick Aux. Hannah earned their BA in Film and English from Vassar College, and they are currently a second-year MFA candidate and Teaching Fellow in Dance at Smith College.
