Ekin Bernay
Nest (2024)

Platform 82 is proud to present a site-specific performance Nest by Ekin Bernay, in the context of The Body That Moves.
 
Exploring ideas around belonging, Ekin will focus on her relationship with love. This performance smells of rose jam and blood. It will consist of three sections, each lasting one hour. A performance as a triptych about an artist who is in love. 
In her live artwork, Ekin is working towards merging the discoveries she has made in the therapy work with a wider audience through performative workshops. Her work focuses on the healing qualities of performance art. She uses text, sound, and choreographic situations to direct the audience. As a dance therapist, Bernay has experience in working with adults with mental health diagnoses such as schizophrenia and children with autism.

Ekin Bernay has an MA Dance Movement Psychotherapy from Roehampton University and has been working clinically as a DMP. She has experience in adult mental health, autism, primary schools and refugee children. The artist who works between London and Istanbul, has presented numerous performances in various institutions and organisations including V&A Museum (London), Tate (London), Block Universe (London), OnCurating Project Space (Zurich), Istanbul Biennial and Pera Museum (Istanbul). 

This collaboration has been established with the help of International Performance Art Platform Performistanbul.
