Ewa Bułhak has been active on the Polish artistic scene since the beginning of the 1970s. She began her career in the Polish Theatre in Wrocław as a theatre director. In the mid-1980s she started to work as a literary assistant in the Studio Theatre in Warsaw, where she later held the position of a literary director. She coproduced and directed several plays with Jerzy Grzegorzewski and participated in the creation of the artistic vision of the institution. 
As many artists, who worked during the socialist times, she found the artistic activities – in her case the modern theatre – an inspiring and fulfilling way of navigating her professional career. Especially her involvement in the Studio Theatre in the 1980s, an avant-garde of the Polish theatrology at that point, helped her to build an alternative world, separated from the hectic social and political life. In the 2000s she became involved in the preservation and editing of the Jerzy Grzegorzewski's works, and participated in the establishment of the Jerzy Grzegorzewski Section.
