Jess Rowell

I am an inclusive dance artist, movement facilitator, and creator of multi-sensory
dance theatre performances for young people with additional needs based in Bray, Co. Wicklow.

At the heart of my practice is a commitment to inclusivity, driven by my vision of making dance
accessible and fostering equal access to the arts for everyone. I seek to break down
barriers with my work, creating engaging, immersive experiences that celebrate the
unique nature and perspectives of every participant.

​

My projects and performances connect with people of all ages, always offering a

welcoming space for expression, exploration and an invitation to experience movement,
sound, and sensation in ways that are personal and transformative, whether in
schools, theatres, or community settings.

With over 15 years of experience performing, collaborating, and directing across
professional and community contexts, my practice is informed by a diverse
background in dance and movement. I have studied at the London Contemporary
Dance School and Northbrook Metropolitan College, Freestyle Yoga Project, UK and
Tattvaa Yoga Shala, India.

I create work that is physically rich and deeply inclusive and I strive to create a space
where everyone, regardless of ability, is free to explore, express, and connect.
