About
I am by varying degrees a jazz-hound, electro-fiend, punk-rocker, cheese-eating, wine-drinking eco-socialist-cyber-feminist. And then some.
My blog is the main focus of this site, so go Home if you want to see that. There’s also plenty of other info if you look through the different pages, see the links at the top.

CV
(It’s written in third-person and everything)
Hannah Nicklin is a 25 year old writer/general creative from the East Midlands. Her life consists of three main areas of interest; the arts, the digital world, and eco/feminist/political activism.
Hannah graduated from the University of Birmingham’s prestigious Playwriting Studies Masters course in July 2009. Previous to this she achieved a first class BA(hons) in Drama at Loughborough University, where she was also awarded the 2007 drama prize for outstanding achievement.
Hannah writes plays. This began with a three year involvement with Theatre Writing Partnership in 2005. She has since had pieces on at Lakeside Theatre Nottingham, and the Birmingham Hippodrome. Her most recent work has included an invitation onto the Royal Court Young Writers Programme, a performance in a new writing Salon led by Scary Little Girls Productions as well a commission from Box of Tricks Theatre Company for a showcase of new theatre writing in early 2010.
Hannah is an avid technophile, loves all the gadgets which are within her power to own, and covets many more. She began a PhD in Theatre and (digital) Technology at Loughborough University in October 09, and is extremely interested in the ethics of the digital world, and how this can (and should) cross over into the facilitation, creation and subject matter of theatre and other arts. She has written an article titled The Digital Ceiling on women and tech for Subtext Magazine, and blogs on regularly on theatre and technology. Hannah has written a guide to Twitter for Arts Organisations, which is currently being used by Arts Council England’s Get AmbITion initiative and has begun to be asked to speak at conferences regarding the arts and digital tech.
Hannah worked for a year as an administrator for Wolverhampton based Foursight Theatre Ltd and until recently worked as an online communication officer for Theatre Writing Partnership. She has also set up and run her own gap year theatre company, had several pieces of poetry published, and does freelance radio production with her brother, Lawrence.
Hannah wishes she was articulate in real life as she is on paper.
