Natasha Tsakos is an award-winning director, performer, and producer exploring what happens when art enters environments humans were never meant to inhabit. She has performed across six continents, from TED and the Super Bowl with Cirque du Soleil to the G20 Summit, Discovery Channel, and Tribeca Film Festival. She speaks globally, including at the United Nations General Assembly and Google, on how art shapes innovation.
Her space training includes lunar parabolic flight and impedance studies at NASA JSC, neutral buoyancy at NASA Ames, astronautics and high-G aerobatic training at the IIAS, NASA L'SPACE Academy (first prize), and MIT's New Space Economy program. She founded Space Wonders, the first theatrical company for space, developing performances created in microgravity and brought back to Earth as immersive experiences, research, and education. Its flagship production, PARABOLES, is a fully choreographed performance in weightlessness, tracking performer biometrics (EEG) to study human expression and cognition in altered gravity. She is also a founding member of Duckweed Labs, a space food startup twice awarded by NASA. Natasha is a member of AIAA.
