The Theatrical Gaze
Join Dr Greer Crawley, Royal Holloway, University of London Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Drama, Theatre and Dance, as she talks about her favourite works of art in Royal Holloway's collections from her unique perspective as a scenographer. The tour was inspired by her work with the art collections on a number of projects over the last few years during which she was struck by a number of works and responded to them as a designer. Dr Greer is active in research, scholarship and professional practice, with expertise that spans a range of specialisms. She has curated a number of exhibitions, is an Associate of the Museums Association, Director of the Society of British Theatre Designers, and editor for the journal of the Society of British Theatre Designers.
