Imagination leads to flexibility. If we can be flexible thinkers we can problem solve and the world is our oyster.

Natalie Blades

Hello, I’m Natalie. I trained in drama and media performance at the University of Salford and The Acting Studio, Manchester. Since graduating in 2000 I have acted in various projects in television, theatre and radio. Television credits include ‘Heartbeat’,’ Emmerdale’,’ Bodies’,’ Holby City’ and ‘The Quest’. I have worked extensively with Hull Truck Theatre, most recently playing three contrasting characters in their 2008/09 comedy Christmas production, ‘A Kick in the Baubles’. I have also done a series of comedy voice overs and jingles for various radio stations and more recently, animated commercials for ’3’ mobile phones.
My two year old son Herbie has inspired me to begin working with young children. I have always loved children but since having my own son I really appreciate how much fun they can be and also how individual they are. Its wonderful to see where their imaginations can take them when they’re given the chance to experiment and come up with ideas.
In my Theatre Tots classes I aim to create a fun environment where children can really let their imaginations and personalities come alive. I look forward to seeing you soon!
