From Natalie Verhaegen

 

My journey as a performer has taken me to stages across the globe – from intimate theatres to bustling stadiums, grand big tops to vibrant community and corporate events. In every setting, my driving force is to create authentic connection through the transformative power of the arts. I don't just perform; I craft experiences that invite audiences to engage, reflect, and feel more connected to themselves and those around them.

​

I specialise in physical theatre and immersive performance, using the body as a primary tool for storytelling and genuine interaction. My diverse skillset allows me to adapt and innovate, whether I'm captivating a crowd with hat manipulation, weaving narratives through spoken word, or sparking joy with comedy and walkabout characters. The rhythm of saxophone and flute often infuses my work, alongside the dynamic energy of improvisation and choral singing. As an MC and compère, I guide events with warmth and wit, always aiming to foster a sense of shared experience. My passion for blues dancing and Lindy hopping further informs my understanding of playful, responsive connection.

​

From devising original works to collaborating on large-scale productions, I am dedicated to using my artistry to build bridges, spark dialogue, and cultivate meaningful human connection, one performance at a time.
