Dr Tracy Crossley
| Biography | I Studied at Lancaster University, where I did my BA in Theatre Studies, MA in Contemporary Theatre Practice and PhD in Visuality in Film and Theatre. I also taught at Lancaster, directed student productions and toured with my own theatre group before joining Salford as a full-time lecturer in 2001. Currently, alongside my role as Subject Head for Performance, I teach undergraduate and postgraduate students, undertake PhD supervision and my own research in contemporary performance. |

| Research Interests | My research falls into the areas of Contemporary Performance and Postdramatic Theatre. Most recently, I have published a paper exploring Stanislavsky’s performance methodology in the context of postdramatic theatre. I also co-edited an on-line handbook for devising postdramatic theatre – Making Postdramatic Theatre - published by Digital Theatre Plus (2018) and am currently working on an extended edition. |
| Teaching and Learning | I currently lead the Performance team as Subject Group Head. I lead the final year Theatre Project module, which culminates in Debut: a festival of performance, showcasing the work of our final year students on Theatre and Performance, Technical Theatre and Comedy Writing and Performance. I also lead and teach on the third-year module New Trends in Theatre & Performance, teach first years on Performance in Context, deliver lectures and workshops on other modules at MA and BA level, and supervise final year Research Projects. |
