Nathalie Merchant
- Actress
- Casting Department
- Additional Crew
Nathalie birthed the vision of becoming a performing artist at a very early age, when being introduced to MTV, for the first time, upon her arrival in Sweden from a Romania in civil war.
She identified for the first time with people of her features, and felt inspired to become grandiose like them, in particular Milli Vanilli, Janet Jackson nd Michael Jackson at the time, whom she impersonated at her young mother's festive dinner parties among friends.
In her early teens the dream of USA was set and all years thereafter molded her into the performing artist she is today.
With seven languages in her grammatical repertoire, a rewarding diploma from "the Los Angeles Stella Adler Academy of Acting" and "Stockholms Elementära Teterskola", Nathalie chose a destined path and has never looked back on the alternative of becoming a psychologist.
"Acting is a lifestyle with no limited entrances or exits strictly for the stage. The World and the people are the platter for stimulation, dedication,inspiration, and aspiration, as a human being as well as an artist."
Nathalie enriched her cultural horizons, living in Panama, Romania, Italy, USA ,with Sweden as her home Base.
During high school she would tour around Sweden as a dancer and singer.
Before setting sails for the US, she had already shaped a promising future in the musical field. Being a second choice to acting, it remains in second place after acting , yet before dancing, which is an element that has been present in Nathalie's life ever since her childhood.
Her mother saw Nathalie's early affinity to the dance arts and signed her up for all the classes her daughter found a liking to ranging from ballet, Peruvian Afro dance, show jazz, samba, old school, locking and free dance.
The elements of language, curiosity, zest for life, and love of the performing arts, are the corner stones of Nathalie's polychromatic nature.
Born of Romanian and Panamanian parents, of Ukranian,French,Irish, Barbadian, German and Albanian predecessors, inspires Nathalie to see the World beyond the set quotidian lenses.
"It is a blessing to be alive and discover the mechanics of my Self in this World".
