Reach Out to Rowan:
Rowan Heydon-White, Associate
Rowan is one of Performance Frontiers’ creative powerhouses, learning designers and expert facilitators, bringing to the organisation over fifteen years of international experience in the performing arts. She is a true believer in the integration of arts-based practices, along with business methodologies and psychology, to push the envelope around what’s possible in leadership and organisational development.
In the past ten years, she has held a range of direction, leadership and management roles, bringing creative visions to fruition through facilitating diverse and passionate groups of artists and partners. This work has cultivated her deep interest in organisational and cultural dynamics and how they can be optimised for inspiring results.
Through her career of wowing audiences around the world, Rowan has herself been inspired by the remarkable potential for arts-based learning as an alternative to instruction by rote – not only in terms of the content that we can convey, but in the depth to which learning occurs, and the new cognitive pathways a creative-based practice can develop. She has seen first-hand how the creative arts can be a powerful dialectic tool which shifts, holistically, the way people think – and she brings this approach to her work every day.
