Salur is an Istanbul-based performer, director, and theater artist. Received her Acting BFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 2017. As a theatre artist, she develops hyperrealistic, heightened landscapes where the poem oozes and becomes an indescribable dialogue between the spectator and the performer by redefining and reintroducing tradition in an experimental, theatrical territory while carrying or canceling cultural existence with common literary references. 

 

In 2015, she established her performing arts collective and production company, The Movement Project, by debuting her first original dance-theater piece, HAREM. In 2017 she got accepted to debut her second original dance-theater piece V O I D as a part of HERE Arts Center’s Co-Op Sublet Series in New York. The piece later renamed her collective to VOID The Movement Project. In 2019, she produced, directed, translated, and artistically directed Anne Carson's ANTIGONE, which premiered at the renowned Turkish theatre TIM Maslak Show Center. 

 

Right after CalArts, she debuted her first-ever European tour with an original play called Fore! as the lead character Anna. The play was written by Aleshea Harris and directed by Arnaud Meunier. While in the US, she performed in festivals such as Hollywood Fringe and Planet Connections Festivity. She was nominated for Best Actress in a One-Act Play at the Planet Connections Festivity.  

 

During the pandemic, she co-founded the international all womxn collective It's Us: Ophelia and co-created their debut digital project So, Count Mine.

​

Salur was the Art Coordinator of İstanbul Cinema Museum & Atlas 1948 Theater in 2021-2022. Premiered her one-woman performative piece "var-mış" at Kültüral Performing Arts on 16th of December 2021.
