NATASHA HARRISON

Natasha Harrison trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, before completing her MA in Movement: Directing and Teaching, graduating from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Natasha's work as a Movement Director focuses on the context, vision and the nature of the theatrical piece in question, supporting the production by translating the world through the lens of movement. Working closely with directors to achieve movement with visceral authenticity and innovative exploration of the form; Natasha’s work values collaboration at its heart, working with creatives and performers to develop the physicality of the characters in the space, all movement sequences and a holistic overview of how all the creative elements interweave and intersect with the physicality of the piece. Nurturing continuous communication with the design, sound, and all creative aspects to produce work that has clarity and a precise and meaningful place.

As a working class artist, Natasha values work that represents all life on stage, working collaboratively to refine and uphold the movement of the show and leads with a ‘community mindset’ empowering all involved to produce the very best work for the paying audience. As well as being a Movement Director, Natasha has keen eye for devising, developing, and refining new movement, drawing upon relevant references and building work that is responsive and deeply connected to music and sound, this helps shape her vision when taking on the role of Choreographer.
