With a doctorate in art history and a degree from ESCP, Hélène de Talhouët worked for fifteen years in children's book publishing as editorial director before leaving Paris and settling in Roubaix. It was here that she met Carolyn Carlson.
Vice-president of the Centre Chorégraphique National, she is in charge of teaching at the CCN and its dance school. Her first collaboration with Carolyn Carlson was with Le Roi penché, a show for young audiences created in 2009.
Since then, she has played an active role in the recognition of the dancer-choreographer's visual creations. Curator of the exhibitions Writings on waterat the La Piscine museum in Roubaix in 2017, and La femme peinte at the Toulouse-Lautrec museum in Albi in 2018, she co-signed the catalog.
A teacher-researcher and freelance project manager in artistic and cultural engineering, Hélène de Talhouët is also a lecturer, notably for Hermès. She now lives in Paris.
