Natasha Higdon

Natasha Higdon was born in Ipswich in 1986, where she first developed her passion for theatre from a young age. Moving to Oxford, she began her degree in Psychology with Performing Arts in the Community - developing her passion for community theatre and site specific programmes. Her degree began the roots and foundation for her evolving practice - to study the lives and artistry of the practitioners she admires and experiments with in her own visceral movement based practice, a physical language on stage. Natasha is the founder and artistic director for ‘The Writer’s Mark’, a company that celebrates the life and works of surrealist writers from our past through art and live theatre. This year she has recently directed a three hour event involving art installations and live theatre at Fabrica, Brighton - all exploring the world of Franz Kafka. She continues to develop the work of different surrealist writer’s, performing FILLE DE MON COEUR in Brighton this summer and at this year’s Camden Fringe Festival. Natasha is a Director, Writer, Lecturer and Theatre Practitioner for Third Space. Natasha is currently in full rehearsal mode – directing Salome, by Oscar Wilde – which will be shown at The New Venture Theatre in October 2024, Brighton, United Kingdom. Natasha specialises in physical theatre, berkoffian theatre and theatre of the absurd. Her approach is experimental, focusing on music and movement to communicate her narrative. Natasha has published materials on: Antonin Artaud and Steven Berkoff, writing for ‘We Teach Drama.’ She has also worked for ‘Go live Theatre’ as a writer and is presently a reviewer for Fringe Review where she specialises in reviewing physicalised works.
