Gerry Harris (academic)

Geraldine Mary (Gerry) Harris (born 1957) [http://errol.oclc.org/laf/no2002-79222.html] is Professor of Theatre Studies at the University of Lancaster and director of Palatine, the Subject Centre for Dance, Drama and Music.

Her early research was in female performers in 19th Century French Popular Theatre specifically "Le Music Hall" and "Le Cafe-concert" but her interest in the politics of subjectivity and identity has subsequently expanded into the field of contemporary experimental performance.

She works as a devisor, writer, director and adapter both inside and outside of education, having written or adapted and directed touring shows for schools, taken shows to the Edinburgh Festival and occasionally contributed to the work of Insomniac Productions, a professional touring company, re-writing and re-directing a show "Clair De Luz" with this company for the Munich Spiel Art Festival 1995. She wrote the text for a short film "With the Light On", for Third Angel Independent Production Company.
