That's Just The Way It's (un)Done

“When I was a child I dreamt of happily ever after. When I was 27 my dreams came true. Somewhere along the way, I realised my dreams were not my own.”

That’s Just The Way It’s (un)Done is an experimental autobiographical piece that dances through the dangers of heteronormative conditioning into a world of queer fluidity. Join Rowan as they explore what it means to outgrow yourself – shedding the skins of strict narratives and peeling back everything you know to be true. Trussssssst in me, it's going to be a wild ride.

Developed as part of Rowan’s MA in Queer Performance, this theatrical solo cabaret is a continually evolving work – much like its creator. Like a snake mid-shed, this show is in transition: raw, honest, curious, and growing.

This iteration is both a performance and a process – part ritual, part revelation – inviting audiences into an experience of unravelling and reimagining. It's a queer Happily Never After.
