Eleanor Clapham, the Australian- Vietnamese Performer

Eleanor, the Australian born performer is making waves in Vietnam as the first non-Vietnamese to become a professional performer in the traditional arts. Her mastery of two forms 'Tuong' and 'Cheo'and her current studying of the third form 'Cai Long' has made her one of the most famous Westerners in Vietnam. She has been swamped by media coverage from Newspapers, Magazines to Television Interviews, which should make her performance at the Opera House on the 22 December a sell out show. It all began two years ago when preparing to graduate from the University of Wollongong, Australia. Despaired by the lack of potential employment for performers in her own country, she began to search for something extra special to set her out of the crowd. By luck her path crossed with Vietnamese performers living in Australia who introduced her to an art form that she instantly fell in love with; a complex theatre form that involves acting singing and dancing.

Now entering into her second year of dedicated training, in Hanoi, Vietnam, her dreams are coming true her accomplishments are putting her in high demand to perform not just in Vietnam but also throughout the world. In the mist of all of the media coverage Eleanor is now searching for support in her ventures. To many she is seen as the embodyment of a true merge of cultures bewteen the east and west, therefore any Company currently doing buisness in Vietnam attaching it's name to her would receive a huge amount of advertising.
