Bundanon

Glenn Thompson is a musician who first came to prominence in Brisbane QLD playing in the popular local bands Madam Bones Brothel with Pearly Black and John Rodgers, and COW with Robert Morre and David McCormack. Thompson was a member of The Go-Betweens from 2001 until its demise in 2006. Thompson formed Beachfield in 2006 as a vehicle for his songwriting. In 2013 Thompson was named in the top ten greatest alternative drummers in Australia.

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.
