NATASHA MMONATAU
Natasha Mmonatau is an actress, writer and filmmaker devoted to unraveling lineages of black and African storytelling through her voice and movement work. She is a recent graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where she began to develop a creative practice rooted in embodied cultural traditions from southern Africa. Born and raised in Botswana, Mmonatau animates narrative recollections from the African continent grounded in acts of love and ancestral remembering.
Recent acting roles include as seer-prophetess Tiresias in the RCS 2024 production of Antigone in Scotland; as Pontius Pilate in Master & Margarita, and as Cyberwoman in Tesla’s commercial launch of the Cybertruck. Spanning the disciplines of acting, writing, voice, dance and movement, Mmonatau’s work has developed into a deep inquiry of humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
