Bundanon

Ekrem Mülayim is a Sydney-based composer, born in Istanbul, Turkey. Along with his involvement in new music, he specialises in composing for theatre, film, and dance. His theatre credits include Belvoir Street Theatre productions of Yellow Moon, Cut and The Kiss, Tell it like it isn’t for Australian Theatre for Young People and Vigil for Spirit House Theatre Company. His other collaborations include Critical Path, Campbelltown Arts Centre for Composers-Choreographers Lab Residency, The Australian Voices and The Song Company.

The Bundanon residency enabled director, Julie-Anne Long, and collaborators: Sam James; Glenn Thompson; Ekrem Eli Phoenix, to focus on film installation: TROUBLE: A Place In Time. It also provided an opportunity for Martin del Amo, Justine Shi Pearson, Rhiannon Newton and Raghav Handa to curate a public participatory performance event, Project Workspace. Both developments were part of a larger project, ‘Dance in the City’ that engages with an inclusive gathering of artists from the Sydney independent dance sector, supporting a diversity of dance work to make visible the practices of this dance community.
