Natasha Harrison trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance and completed an MA in Movement: Directing and Teaching at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
Natasha is a Movement Director whose work centres on the context, vision, and world of each production. Collaborating closely with directors, creatives, and performers to develop movement with visceral authenticity; Tash supports the shaping of character physicality, movement sequences, and the overall physical language of a piece. Her practice values collaboration at its core, maintaining ongoing dialogue with design, sound, and all creative departments to ensure movement has clarity, purpose, and a meaningful place within the production.
As a working-class artist, Natasha is committed to making work that represents all lives on stage. She leads with open communication and a strong community mindset, empowering collaborators to refine and uphold the movement of a show in service of the audience.
Alongside movement direction, Natasha works as a Choreographer, devising and developing new movement that is deeply connected to music and sound, informed by relevant references and responsive to each unique process.
Natasha also works as a Director. Her debut production, Four Minutes Twelve Seconds by James Fritz (co-directed with Chris Lawson), opened at Oldham Coliseum in 2020 and received critical acclaim (★★★★ The Stage, ★★★★★ Northern Soul). Her directing practice is led intuitively through the body and voice, using the script as a score to explore rhythm, pace, tone, and energy.
In addition, Natasha works as an Intimacy Director and recently completed the Consent Forward Artist Programme with IDC. She has a strong interest in human behaviour, relationships, and choice, and is currently undertaking a Diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapy with HOMA London to deepen and support her practice.
Natasha was an Associate Artist at Red Ladder Theatre Company, a Movement Director for the Old Vic 12 (2019/20), and the creator of The Movement Podcast, a free resource for those interested in movement practice. Her work has been supported and mentored by Polly Bennett, Rod Dixon, and Kate Flatt.
