[2] In Iowa City, where Hancock attended the Workshop, he first presented his play The Convention of Cartography, which would eventually become his first New York production.

Set in a traveling art museum for a deceased artist named Mike, the play won Hancock his first Obie for Playwriting.

Reviewing The Incubus Archives, the Austin Chronicle praised Hancock’s construction of, “…a dreamscape -- in which subjects seem to bubble from the darkness of the subconscious…”[8] In 2011, Clubbed Thumb presented his play Our Lot, written in collaboration with Kristin Newbom, as part of their annual Summerworks festival.

The play imagined a retrospective and wake for a fictional Afrofuturist artist named James Leroy “Uncle Jimmy” Clemens, and featured artwork created by Wardell Milan.

[10] The New York Times hailed the production as, “disturbing and powerful… the drama is something that seems to be leaking from the very forms so elaborately carpentered to contain it,” and named it a Critic’s Pick.

Hancock’s most recent work, Cathexis, is an interactive, robot facilitated judicial event co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Union and a TCG Global Connections grant, co-authored with Nick Millett.
