Ninon Noiret
Duration
Ninon Noiret began dancing the same time she could walk, and pursued theatre from her teenage years before moving to Paris to train in a drama school. She was later accepted into the prestigious National Theatre of Bordeaux, where she studied acting for three years. Alongside her theatre training, she performed as a dancer with several contemporary dance companies. After graduating, she expanded into circus arts, specializing in tumbling and Chinese spool, blending physicality with theatrical storytelling.
Over the years, Ninon has collaborated with acclaimed companies such as Philippe Decouflé, Groupe Noces, Rêve de Singes, Théâtre du Rivage, and Théâtre du Phare, touring extensively in France and internationally. In 2018, following a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, she began creating a deeply personal show, The Raft of the Crab, which combines Chinese spool, theatre, and puppetry. The piece is currently in development for Manipulate Festival 2026.
Now based in Scotland, Ninon has trained intensively as a stunt performer and officially joined the British Stunt Register in 2025, bringing together her rich background in dance, theatre, circus, and screen action.
