She graduated with a degree in Fine Art Sculpture from NCAD (Dublin) in 2004 and from Nanterre School of Anthropology (Paris) in 2006. Through paintings, sculptures, documentaries and live art performances, Eléonore seeks to create an atmosphere that allows people to be more in touch with themselves and inspires them to design their own life. She is committed to promoting health and well-being with her art practice. </p> <p>Eléonore Nicolas has exhibited in France, Ireland, and Denmark. She has extensive experience in the sector of Arts and Health through an internship in Tallaght Hospital working with the elderly in 2007, as well as her participation in the Helium project in 2009 bringing puppetry to children in hospitals and as an Artist on Call with Helium in 2011. As a storyteller, she has performed at the Lights-Off festival in Thomastown in 2008 and 2009. She currently performs once a month at the Centre for Creative Practices in Dublin. </p> <p>Eléonore is a founder member of 'Tickle' a Dublin skills exchange group, dedicated to exploring new forms of performance involving acting, storytelling, improvisation, puppetry, dance and street theatre. In 2008, she was made artistic director for the Whitefriar Community Center, in Aungier St, where she conceived, designed and directed interactive shows for the community. </p> <p>Eléonore directed & performed her first play  A Spoonful of Silence in 2009 which premiered at the Dublin Theatre Fringe Festival and toured across Ireland and the UK. She then conceived a tongue-in-cheek documentary called 'My Fair Mott', which follows two children from Whitefriars community as they attempt to teach 'Dublinese' to a class of non-national adults. Her latest play,  MaDam , which she directs and stars in, premiered at the Clonmel Junction Festival in July 2011 and was shown at the Dublin Theatre Fringe Festival in September 2011. </p> </div> <div id="sidebar"> <div class="sidebar-title"> <img src="images/directors_alt.gif" /> </div> <ul> <li>Tony Fegan</li> <li>Marie de La Guéronnière</li> <li>Dr Deirdre Sweetman</li> </ul> <br/> <br/> <a id="supportUs" href="friends.html" title="Support Us"><span>Support Us</span></a> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div id="push"></div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div id="footer-inside"> <div id="selogo"><a href="http://www.artscouncil.ie" target="_blank"> <img src="images/artscouncil.gif" /> </a> <a href="http://www.socialentrepreneurs.ie/" target="_blank"> <img src="images/sei.gif" /> </a></div> <div id="copyright"> <h6> All content © Helium 2010 </h6> <h6> Company number 486621, CHY number 19236</h6> <h6>Contact Us: <a href="mailto:info@helium.ie?subject=Email from Helium.ie"> info@helium.ie </a>| Phone: + 353 44 93 96 960 </h6> <h6>Design by <a href="http://maryplunkett.ie/" target="_blank"> Mary Plunkett</a>.
