Collaboration

Music

Dancing a variety of styles for 14 years Natasha successfully auditioned for the pre-vocational dance course at the Centre For Advanced Training at The Place in London.  This lead to training professionally in Contemporary and Ballet at Laban conservatoire in London; working with the likes of Kerry Nicholls (Wayne McGregor | Random Dance) and internationally acclaimed choreographer Zoi Dimitriou. Since Then she has gone on to work in Musicals, Theatre, Opera, Music Videos and Cruise Ships.

Collaboration is at the heart of Propel Excel, striving to challenge its ideas of creativity and develop skills.  Natasha has worked with actors, scientists, poets, environmental conservationists, artists and musicians.
Music off Canvas was a key collaboration, gaining a commission from Southbank Centre and performing in the
Elgar Room, Royal Albert Hall.
 

Music, singing and rhythm has always played a key role in Natasha's work. For 4 years she was a member of Glyndebourne Youth Opera Group under opera movement director Claire Whistler and West End music director Jonathan Gill. Natasha has sung lead and backing vocals at venues such as Scala and Pleasance Theatre.
