I’ve been finally able to find HQ pictures of Hannah Dodd’s photoshoot for the #10 issue of The Glass Magazine. You can check all of them in our gallery:

Hannah Dodd is as versatile as she is specific. The actor’s portfolio is impressively vast. From her major role as Sarah Chapman in Enola Holmes 2 to Francesca in Bridgerton season 3, her other credits include Anatomy of a Scandal, Eternals and Fighting With My Family, her trajectory is ever exciting. Having found comfort in the stage through dancing, which she excelled in from the mere age of two, Dodd graduated with a BA in theatre dance at the London Studio Centre in 2017 and just a year later, made her television debut as ballet student Thea Raphael in Find Me in Paris.

The determination and endurance required for a career in dance has built Dodd’s into the ideal candidate to navigate the complex landscape of a career in acting too. “Dancers and actors need a lot of strength and grit. Yet we’re also hyper-vulnerable people… Because we’ve seen rejection and hardship, we’re not afraid to show love and our emotional side. Living in tension of opposites,” she explains to Glass.

The physicality demanded from the dance profession has become a steering guide when approaching her role as the pianoforte-playing Francesca in Bridgerton. Dodd tapped into the technical aspects of dance and transposed them into learning to play the piano. “I just learned, essentially, hand choreography,” she curtails.

The embrace of the technical aspects of acting is what makes her so brilliant, but for Dodd, it can often be a hindrance. “We dance in mirrors to be able to see what we need to improve on. That doesn’t work on a film set. So, I find it difficult watching myself as an actor because I can’t go in and change the finished product.”

Regardless, Dodd is quick to reflect the fluctuating rhythm that comes with seeking perfection. “You have to do things time and time again until you land it right… You don’t suddenly get it perfect.”
