BIO —
Growing up, Tash Cordeaux was a member of the Norwich Theatre Royal Youth Company, where she performed classical roles such as Tamora (Titus Andronicus), Cassandra (Agamemnon) and Agave (The Bacchae), alongside comedic roles such as Bernadette (Stags & Hens).
In 2021, Cordeaux reentered Norwich’s amateur dramatic scene for the simple love of theatre and community. Since, she performed to sold out avenues in the title role of Lady Windermere (Lady Windermere’s Fan 2023) and Diana (Ring Round The Moon 2022) for The Norfolk Actors Company and for The Maddermarket Theatre’s Norwich Players, she has taken on Shakespeare’s Mistress Ford (Merry Wives of Windsor) and Prince (Romeo & Juliet), amongst other roles.
In summer 2024, she was commissioned R&D acting work at The Seagull Theatre in Lowestoft, to colloborate with fellow early career actors and director Mark Finbow on an exciting, local theatrical piece investigating the paranormal.
From September 2024-25, she is developing her craft through training on the MA in Acting (Contemporary) at The Royal Central School of Speech & Drama.

“Nataša Cordeaux playing the unhappy Diana, develops a character of seething frustration, frustration that comes to a head when she provokes a fight with the defiantly proud Isabelle, played sympathetically by Cathy Sole. The aggressive action comes as a natural consequence of the frustrations, so well expressed by Cordeaux, as her character unravels.” - Chris Perry, The Grapevine Review.
