Biography
Richard Hancock (b. 1977, UK) is an artist and choreographer working across the fields of performance, installation, text, video and photography. Since 2001, he has collaborated with Traci Kelly on a body of work questioning the boundaries of individual and collaborative practice, most notably through their series of Lone Duets.
