Her libretti include Bodiless (for composer Gabrielle Herbst, 2014) and Longitud (for Davíð Brynjar Franzson, 2014). rawlings’ Áfall/Trauma, was shortlisted for the Leslie Scalapino Award for Innovative Women Playwrights (2013). She is also a member of the new music duo, Moss Moss Not Moss, which debuted at the BBC Tectonics Festival in 2016.
