Mirramu is a rural property on 100 acres privately run and owned by Elizabeth Cameron Dalman, one of Australia’s modern dance pioneers. Set into the mountain on the banks of Weereewa (Lake George), it is a striking landscape which inspires artists across all art forms.
Mirramu Creative Arts Centre aims to provide time and space for artists to develop their creative practice and draw inspiration from the natural landscape. Mirramu boasts a 15 x 7m dance studio and 2 mud brick buildings with accommodation, living spaces and a kitchen for residency participants. In the lower house there are 4 bedrooms which can host up to 9 artists in shared rooms, with 2 shared bathrooms.
The grounds have multiple spaces for outdoor dancing, performing and filming, across a 10 acre area with views of Lake George.
