Natalia Warner

I was born in Bath, England to John William and Nelia Chico Warner. My Father is of Russian, French, German and English descent and my Mother from Manila, Philippine Islands (South East Asia). When my sister, Nicola and I were very young, my mum and dad started a small business selling wooden carvings and obscure home furnishings (Chico's Crafts) which meant much of our childhood was spent overseas, primarily between Ayala Alabang (Phillippines) and Christian Malford. I experienced a mixture of home-education and various different schools before we finally settled in Wiltshire in the South West of England. Often left to entertain myself, I became naturally creative and imaginative as a child. Interest in acting / performing began around 5 years old when I was offered the role of the Bird in Oscar Wilde's The Little Prince at my first Primary School (St. Paul's, Chippenham). I turned it down because I was shy and didn't want to play a boy at the time - I still think about it today. Afterwards I went on to play the least bright pig (the one builds the straw house) in The Three Little Pigs, Mary in the Holy Nativity where I sang Silent Night solo in German. Later adolescent years, a singing angel and a tap-dancing Wise Man, Abigail in the Crucible, Olivia in Twelfth Night, and a male Vicar in a play I can't remember the name of but was the most fun I've ever had. In conjunction to this, I also attended the Classical Ballet Centre for 12 or so years and was encouraged by my teacher Kazia Galina Rudwicz (my greatest inspiration) to pursue a professional career in dance. I will always be a dancer but only possess the discipline for my own inner beat. I attended Sixth Form at King Edward's School, Bath where I studied Chemistry, Biology, Theatre Studies and English Literature for A-Level (Lit teachers Zeynep Kayacan and Elizabeth Cooper were Enlightening Forces). Alongside a short-lived ambition to pursue a career in Medicine I played "Puck" in A Midsummer Night's Dream and "Edward" in Edward Scissorhands (Thanks to you, Victoria Stevens - head of Drama). Performing in these small school productions made me feel more alive than ever before. At 22 I found an agent and began auditioning - it costs a fortune and you're mostly told: "No" and people tell you you're crap. When you're told Yes, the heart flutters to confirm you're where you're supposed to be. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Natalia Warner
