Hey there!

Natalie Malia Figuracion–colloquially known as “Nat”– is a queer, non-binary, Filipino-American actor and theatre-maker. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, they are now based in Brooklyn, New York. They have a BFA in Contemporary Theater from Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music, where they underwent ensemble-based training with an emphasis on devising.

Growing up in Hawai’i, Nat was immersed in a supportive and creative community that nurtured their love for the arts from a young age. Throughout their youth, they had the wonderful opportunity to perform on stages across multiple islands state-wide. Those experiences, along with their upbringing in Hawai’i’s rich, multicultural environment, have profoundly shaped them as both an artist and a person.

Nat is a strong advocate for marginalized and oppressed communities, and is especially drawn to new works—whether plays, devised pieces, or new media—that amplify underrepresented voices or tackle urgent social and global issues. They also have a specific interest in physical and experimental theatre that challenges conventions, redefines storytelling, and innovates through bold design and performance choices.

Nat is always learning, always growing, and always eager to collaborate! They want to create work that is thought provoking, boundary breaking, and deeply human.

“Art is beautiful. Art is radical. And art has the power to inspire.”
