Born Hannah Elisabeth Colless, daughter of Kathryn Boorman and Don
Colless in the 'rainbow region' of northern New South Wales, Australia.
After moving to Sydney from the North Coast and performing in 'Midas',
Hannah gained a keen interest in theatre. She was competitively
selected for the performing arts strand at a Sydney performing arts
high school and after returning to the North Coast performed in a
number of productions under director Robbie Owen in Byron Bay. Her solo
performance as the naive Nimbin hippy in 2005 was acclaimed as
insightful.
While studying at Melbourne University and moving between Melbourne,
Sydney and Byron Bay, Hannah maintained her strong interest in music,
theatre and travel.
