CREATION CREATION 2021- Current By Windmill Theatre Co

ROLE: Co-Creator, Co-Designer & Performer

How did we get here? Are aliens real? And is it possible to lick your elbow?
Based on interviews with members of the South Australian community aged between 8-102, Creation Creation is a comedy about life’s biggest mysteries.
We’ve asked two fearless creators to step onto the stage and attempt to unravel the mysteries of the universe using whatever tools they have at their disposal. Blankets become forts, carboard boxes become battleships and ping pong balls become planets in this hilarious explosion of art, sculpture 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.

ROOMAN 2017 - current  AVAILABLE FOR TOURING

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.

The full stage production runs for approximately 1hour and 10minutes. The audiences experience is greatly enhanced by the full 7.1 surround sound environment by Missi Mel Pesa.

ROOMAN Premiered at ArtsHouse in Melbourne in 2017, Since then it has gone on to perform in Europe, the UK and New Zealand. For more information please go to

“Blending animation and puppetry, projected performance and original music, a moving set, drawing and dance, ROOMAN is the theatrical equivalent of a pop-up book or a graphic novel. ... ROOMAN is a must for anyone interested in the possibilities of cinema in theatrical space, and will fire the imagination of older children and adults alike. ★★★★”
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

“ROOMAN is a heart-warming, heart-breaking, visual-musical extravaganza by extraordinary artist Fleur Elise Noble. Beautifully weaving a rich tapestry of visual performance, puppetry, projection, drawing, dance and live music, ROOMAN is a visual feast.” ARTS REVIEW

“By utilising her masterful command of projection, puppetry, drawing, and dance Noble has created a performance that bores its way in, it gets inside your mind and it sits with you long after you have left the theatre. Importantly, Noble has allowed every idea space to breath, nothing is rushed, every moment is considered, whole. ... This is a show not to be missed.”

2 DIMENSIONAL LIFE OF HER 2008 - 2013 2D LIFE OF HER TOURED TO OVER 40 VENUES AND FESTIVALS AROUND THE WORLD

 '2 Dimensional Life of Her' was Fleur Elise Noble's first major visual theatre performance. It 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 breathing with life. for more info go to https://www.insitearts.com.au/projects/2-dimensional-life-of-her

“This astoundingly full-bodied performance would be the talking point of any festival… Noble not only deconstructs her art, she shreds, incinerates and rebuilds it, milking the full potential of today’s multimedia technology like an Andy Warhol for a new era.” ADELAIDE ADVERTISER

“Fleur Elise Noble’s 2 Dimensional Life of Her is a performative screen work par excellence… An essay on creativity, control, manipulation and ways of seeing, 2 Dimensional Life is witty, technically deft and engrossing, offering more dimensions than its bigger festival counterparts.” REAL TIME

"Fleur Elise Noble, an Australian polymath who roams comfortably between theatres and art galleries… her beguiling mash-up of animation, puppetry and performance, an oddly comforting shedding of the conventions that govern so much of what we take for granted during a live performance." NY TIMES

 

SHARING STORIES DIGITAL STORYTELLING WORKSHOPS 2012-2019 COMMUNITY PROJECTS

OPERATION ZEBRA 2013 A SHOP FRONT WINDOW INSTALLATION

Operation Zebra was a collaboration between Fleur Elise Noble, Melissa Cantwell, Tina Torabi, Joe Lui, and was produced by the Perth Theatre Company. The work was inspired by stories collected in Gaza by foreign correspondent Sophie McNeill. Our intention was to humanize these stories in a way that allows the viewer to identify in a less detached manner. An attempt to distort the 'Us' and 'Them' perspective. The work was performed for 1 night and viewed through a shop front window in Perth City (with speakers on the street). The performance ran for 2 hours, looping every 20 minutes. Here is a short 3 minute snippet.

LIVE DRAWING PERFORMANCES 2005 - 2016 LIVE AND RECORDED DRAWING PROCESS

A fast paced drawing performance in which hundreds of faces are found and destroyed by the marks of a digital ben. Faces appear, and disappear beneath each new arrival. (please note this recorded version is sped up a little)

Performed live, Fleur works with a Wacom drawing tablet (digital computer pad) and projector. This work is intended to open peoples mind to the idea of art as an experience, rather than a finished object, immersing the audience in the space between the maker and the made where everything is in a constant state of becoming.

SIX WOMEN STANDING IN FRONT OF A WHITE WALL, By Little Dove Theatre Art
ROLE: PERFORMER

‘Six Women Standing in Front of a White Wall’, an interactive Butoh-inspired performance installation that investigates the effect of TOUCH or NO TOUCH on a human being. Put simply, as per the title, six women stand in front of a white wall and respond truthfully, in all the extremities of human emotion, to the audiences every action… or inaction.

At the heart of this work lies the exploration of the physiological need of humans to touch and be touched. The relationship between touch and well-being is more than skin deep. From the moment of our inception as human beings, our tactile sense is being developed. We are pushed out, picked up and placed at our mother’s breast, and a bonding process between two individuals begins.

‘Six Women Standing in Front of a White Wall’ provides a space where audiences are free to relinquish the imposed social implications of touching strangers and allows the possibility for them to experience true and real connections with six different women – revealing ultimately that touching is an act of love, a way of communicating without words.
