Nathalie Claude is a multifaceted artist hailing from Montreal, known for her dynamic roles as an actress, director, dancer, choreographer, writer, and drag king. Fluent in both French and English, she often creates bilingual performances that resonate with diverse audiences.

Her artistic journey began with the creation of her first five solo performances at Studio 303 in Montreal, which she later took on tour to notable venues in Toronto, New York, Berlin, Florence, and Ljubljana. Among her most acclaimed works is 'Le Salon Automate/The Salon Automaton,' where she shared the stage with three human-sized robots. This innovative piece debuted in 2008 at Usine C in Montreal and garnered significant praise during its tour across Quebec and its inclusion in Buddies In Bad Times' 2009 theatre season.

As a member of the theater collective Momentum, Nathalie collaborated with esteemed artists like Céline Bonnier and Lin Snelling, contributing to several impactful theatre pieces, including 'Les Filles de Séléné,' 'La Fête des Morts,' and 'Limbes/Limbo.' Her contributions extend to the queer feminist scene in Montreal, where she was involved with platforms such as Le Boudoir and Edgy Women, and she frequently participated in Toronto's Hysteria: A Festival of Women.

Nathalie's talents are not confined to the stage; she has also made her mark in film and television. She appeared in Canadian films such as 'Higglety Pigglety Pop! or There Must Be More to Life,' 'The Orphan Muses,' and 'Mistral Spatial.' For six years, she portrayed the beloved character 'Tite-Lène' in the Quebec sitcom 'Km/h.'

In addition to her performance work, Nathalie co-designed an exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, showcasing the works of pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. This exhibition was recognized as one of the top ten exhibitions in Canada in two thousand nine. Most recently, she toured internationally with Cirque Du Soleil from two thousand twelve to two thousand fifteen, captivating audiences as Jeeves, the male clown in the show 'Amaluna.'
