Nadia is a theatre maker and film director. She trained as a director at RADA under Bill Gaskill. She works exclusively in new writing, and has worked for buildings & companies including the Almeida, Royal Shakespeare Company, National, Bush, Theatre503 and Arcola.
She is currently the Genesis director at the Young Vic Theatre, and will direct Jackie Sibblies Drury’s Pulitzer prize winning play FAIRVIEW in the main house at the end of this year.
The BFI funded her first short WHITE GIRL, a horror about white feminism, which is in competition at LFF and is developing two features, one with the BFI/Film4 and Dominic Buchanan, and another with Protagonist. This year she was announced as one of Screen Daily’s Stars of Tomorrow.
She is currently developing a number of short and feature length film projects. She also writes articles, often about the intersections of race, gender and popular culture.
