ABOUT

Nathan is currently working on I LOVE YOU BUT WE ONLY HAVE FOURTEEN MINUTES TO SAVE THE EARTH, a performance project which was part of the Arts Council's DECIBEL showcase and THE GREY LIBERATION FRONT, a feature film. A complete collection of Nathan's short films with David Hoyle has recently been released as a DVD by the LIVE ART DEVELOPMENT AGENCY.

Nathan curated & hosted VAUXHALLVILLE, a weekly variety show at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern for two years, and in residence at the Latitude festival for two summers. Other productions at the RVT include a PANTOMIME TRILOGY, AN ELECTION ENTERTAINMENT and DAVE'S DROP-IN CENTRE.

The Drop-In was one of a number of collaborations with the 'divine' DAVID HOYLE, which also include THEATRE OF THERAPY and FACTORY at Chelsea Theatre, a DOROTHY NIGHT at the Royal Festival Hall, UNPLUGGED at Soho Theatre, and a series of 'instructional videos' which have been acquired by the National Film Archive.

Other collaborations include 7 DEADLY SINS, a punk cabaret with The Tiger Lillies & Ophelia Bitz (Soho Theatre & Speigeltent) and ATOMIC, a lo-fi lip-sync re-mix of Blondie's Greatest Hits with Polly Wiseman.
