Since 2007, she has dedicated her career to art and communication – working as a marketing/public relations specialist for cultural organisations. In parallel, during the last nine years, she has become a therapist.
Chris Nielsen dedicated her university studies both to theatre directing and to communication (graduating with a specialisation in Public Relations and Advertising). While studying in France, her training in the artistic field and in communication eventually reunited on the same professional path. At the Université Lumière Lyon 2 – France, Chris Nielsen began her focus on marketing for cultural institutions, followed by a master’s degree in cultural marketing in Metz, France, thanks to a scholarship awarded by the French Government.
For 15 years, Chris Nielsen has been working in the cultural field, promoting both independent artistic projects and cultural institutions. She was communication assistant for the 63rd Cannes Film Festival – France. Most often, Chris Nielsen has dedicated her PR activities to performing arts institutions, a few of the companies for which she has been working being: the Bucharest National Opera, the European Funded project studiOpera – developed by Accademia di Teatro alla Scala (Milan) alongside the Bucharest National Opera, the International Festival of Radio Orchestras and the concert season at the Romanian Radio Concert Hall, both presented by the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Company.
In May 2011 she published, in Paris, her first book (in French): ‘European Opera Nowadays: How to Promote a Performance?’ - Editions Harmattan. In 2012 she received a grant awarded by Opera Europa and was one of the alumni of the first Leadership Intensive Program for Opera Management – New York – organised by Opera America.
In parallel with her PR professional activities, for the past nine years, Chris Nielsen has studied various therapeutic branches of complementary medicine: energy therapies, hypnosis therapy and past life regression (courses organised by the Past Life Regression Academy – London), as well as therapies related to physical health. In 2015, she earned her certification as a personal development counsellor.view less
