Victoria Lowe

I am a Senior Lecturer in Drama and Film Studies. My interest is in Film and Television History, specialising in British Cinema and Television , Screen Acting and the relationship between Film and the other Arts. I have a particular interest in archives and have used them in my research (eg. Robert Donat archive, Basil Dean, C. A Lejeune archive in JRULM and Jocelyn Herbert archive, Univeresity of the Arts, London). Prior to becoming a Lecturer in Drama and Screen Studies, I worked as a producer in Drama across radio, television and film. I was also a script reader for BBC Wales and the  BBC Radio Drama Department in Manchester and Film Education Manager at FACT in Liverpool. I  have a PGCE in Drama and English from the University of Aberystwyth.

My research interests include; early television, stage/screen adaptation: theatricality in the cinema; intermediality; screen acting and stardom and the voice in cinema. I welcome any proposals for post-graduate study in these areas.
