Biography
Fleur Elise Noble is a contemporary award-winning Australian artist. She works with the mediums of drawing, painting, sculpture, puppetry, costume, set design, animation, film, projection mapping, performance and dance to create artworks, animated films and visual performances.
Fleur has a background in visual arts, physical theatre and community arts. She studied on full scholarships at art schools in Adelaide (Adelaide Central School of Art) and New York (New York Studio School). In 2008 she was a directing intern with Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre, after which she went on to perform in a number of dance / physical theatre productions. Fleur has been awarded many grants and awards for her work.
Fleur’s most renowned work to date is her visual theatre performance ‘2-Dimensional Life of Her’, a work made of drawing, animation, puppetry, projection and paper, that explored ideas around the act of creation. 2-D Life of Her was invited to perform at over 40 venues and festivals around the world, including; The 2012 London Mime festival at The Barbican, the 2013 Under The Radar Festival at The Public Theatre in New York, as well as in LA, Brazil, Iran, South Korea and extensively throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand. In 2011 2D Life of Her was selected to represent Australia at the World Congress of Theatre for Young People in Denmark & Sweden, and in 2013 she was awarded a prestigious Bessie (New York Dance and Theatre Award) for most Outstanding Visual Design.
ROOMAN is Fleur’s second major production, and like her first, the story and physical material that she uses to tell it was developed and refined over about 7 years. ROOMAN is a rich tapestry of puppetry, projection, drawing, dance and sound installation. Like a low-tech hologram, or a high-fi paper pop-up book, ROOMAN takes the audience on a journey inside worlds of animated universes as they unfold upon a giant 3-dimensional paper set. ROOMAN premiered at ARTS HOUSE in Melbourne in 2017 before going on to tour in Slovenia, The Netherlands and New Zealand.
Fleur has also worked as a workshop leader and media producer on the SharingStories Foundation’s Digital Storytelling Workshops since 2012- facilitating drawing, animation, film-making and projection projects with elders and young people in remote indigenous communities across Australia.
"I created a visual performance language in an effort to roll all of my passions into one thing. I enjoyed the idea of selling people an experience, rather than an object."
Fleur created thousands of drawings, puppets and sculptures in the process of making these shows. During, and in between touring, she continued to draw, paint and sculpt. While she still travels with her performances, her current focus is on on connecting with young people, and exploring how creative practices can have a positive effect on mental health issues.

Based on interviews with people aged between 8-102, Creation Creation is a documentary/comedy about life’s biggest mysteries.
How did we get here? How did the world begin? Are aliens real?
Two fearless creators and performers will step onto the stage and attempt to unravel the mysteries of the universe improvising with whatever tools they have at their disposal alongside a soundtrack created from 35 hours of recorded interviews and a vivid, highly original soundscape. Blankets become forts, cardboard boxes become battleships and ping pong balls become planets in this hilarious explosion of art, sculpture, physical theatre and puppetry.
A daring and audacious journey to the very edge of the universe and back again. It’s a wild theatrical experiment for the curious among us.
Some of the big questions tackled during this show, raised and then answered by the general public children and adults we interviewed, include; ‘how did the world begin?’, ’is there other life in the universe?’, ‘how are babies made?’, ‘what does dying feel like?’, and ‘what will life on earth be like in 1,000 years?’. These questions and answers are played out by our performers in gentle, moving and fun ways. Viewer discretion is advised, viewer curiosity is recommended.

How did we get here? Are aliens real? And is it possible to lick your elbow?
Based on interviews with members of the community aged between 8 – 102, Creation Creation is a comedy about life’s biggest mysteries.
Two fearless creators will step onto the stage and attempt to unravel the mysteries of the universe using whatever tools are at their disposal. Cardboard boxes become battleships and ping pong balls become planets in a hilarious explosion of art, sculpture and puppetry.

A note for audiences
As part of developing Creation Creation, over 50 people were asked ‘what big mystery would you like an answer to?’, with answers sourced from both experts and the general public. The performance tackles some big questions, including ‘how did the world begin?’, ‘is there other life in the universe?’, ‘how are babies made?’, ‘what does dying feel like?’, and ‘what will life on earth be like in 1000 years?’. Each question and answer is played out by the performers in a gentle, moving and fun way. Viewer discretion is advised, viewer curiosity is recommended.

The Pocket Sanctuary - Arts, Health and Food Farm
https://www.facebook.com/ForestRangeSA/
The Pocket Sanctuary: Arts, Health and Food Farm is a magical wonderland tucked away in Forest Range, a beautiful pocket of the Adelaide Hills (in South Australia). It is a place for creativity and rejuvenation. When we first visited this 27 acre property, we fell in love. With the luscious valley of tree ferns and weeping willows. The abundant orchard and veggie garden (bright green in the middle of summer). The majestic spring fed lake surrounded by native bush and adorned in lotus flowers. And the mountain of yellow leaves and spectacular views. So many pockets of splendour! It's a place for dreaming, and for creation. We will be holding many events, workshops, artists residencies and gatherings over the coming years. We look forward to sharing this space with you ❤️
Who are The People in The Pocket? Incase you were wondering... We are a family of Professional 2 year olds. Daniel Fels climbs trees for a living (he's an arborist). He is also a geologist, but he's more of a monkey than a miner. He loves his work and also loves to dance. Daniel met Fleur on a dance floor. Fleur Elise Noble is a drawer, painter, sculptor, puppet-maker, performer, animator and maker of visual theatre performances. She also facilitates creative workshops for young people. The third person in The Pocket, is Mahlia- Fleur and Daniel's most treasured creation. She too loves dancing, climbing trees and painting pictures.

ROOMAN is a very real story about falling in love with a fantasy. It is a heart-warming, heart-breaking, visual-musical extravaganza!
ROOMAN is a new visual-performance by Fleur Elise Noble, a rich tapestry of puppetry, projection, drawing, dance and sound installation. Like a low-tech hologram, or a high-fi paper pop-up book, ROOMAN takes the audience on a journey inside worlds of animated universes as they unfold upon a giant 3-dimensional paper set.
ROOMAN is a story of romance, fantasy and the pursuit of happiness. A story that we can all, in some way, relate to. A girl meets a kangaroo man in her dreams and falls in love. Obsessed by his reality, and the idea of becoming a part of it, she takes desperate measures to spend more time with him. Her obsession leads her into the darkest depths of the human psyche. ROOMAN is about following your dreams, and seeing what kind of a journey that can take you on. But more importantly, it’s about waking up and living.

Short promo for '2 Dimensional Life of Her' a visual theatre performance by Fleur Elise Noble. 2 Dimensional Life of Her tells the story of an artist whose reality is infringed upon by an imaginary world that manages to escape from the confines of its two-dimensional existence. A richly imagined parallel world is awoken where drawings reproduce themselves, drift between surfaces and move in and out of three dimensions. Film, animation and puppetry occupy the stage as the audience enter a space charged with possibility, becoming part of a real-time artwork which breathes with life. for more info go to https://www.insitearts.com.au/projects/2-dimensional-life-of-her
