Her work explores how power operates on the body through gestural and choreographic regimes. Outcomes are playful, project dependent and take hybrid forms across installation, live performance, video, audio, and text.
Rowland’s Jerwood Bursary will support a period of research and professional consultancy towards the making of an artist book (print and digital), which is an adaptation of a pre-existing solo performance entitled Interjectional Exercises which incorporates BSL, English and historical phonetic systems.
