She was co-lead artist on A Proper Ordinary Miracle with National Theatre Wales TEAM, and her debut chapbook, Signed Asbestos, was runner-up for the Erbacce Prize. She also won the Poetry Wales Second Prize, and her work has been commissioned by National Theatre Wales, Wrexham Poverty Action Group, Wrexham County Borough Council, Chester Pride, and Donmar Warehouse.
As the founder and Artistic Director of Voicebox Wxm, Natasha creates platforms for emerging artists and diverse voices. She also works with national organisations on engagement strategies and cultural policy. Natasha is a trustee for AVOW and an advisor to Wrecsam 2029, Wrexham’s UK City of Culture bid.
Holding an MA in Creative Writing from Edge Hill University and specialist training in accessibility, Natasha is committed to building an equitable cultural sector.
