Natalie Goodnow

Natalie Marlena Goodnow is a teatrista, teaching artist, and cultural activist from Austin, Texas. She writes, performs, and directs; she's been practicing some combination of those forms for sixteen years, and started teaching about and through them 7 years ago. She specializes in the creation of original works for the stage, as a solo performer and in collaboration with other performers and playwrights, both youth and adults. Goodnow’s work is dialogical in both its process and product, using performance as a tool with which to engage communities in conversation. Natalie explores the relationships between people and places, in terms of relationships to community, to the Earth, and to our own bodies. Natalie is an Artistic Associate of Theatre Action Project and a member of The Austin Project.
