Georgina Guy is Senior Lecturer in Theatre and Performance and Research Co-Lead for the Department of Drama, Theatre, and Dance at Royal Holloway. Her research and teaching centre on contemporary theatre and performance; visual, installation, and sound art; and performance curation in museums and galleries.

Georgina's research attends to contemporary intersections between theories and practices of theatre/performance and visual/sonic culture. Her monograph Theatre, Exhibition, and Curation: Displayed & Performed (Routledge 2016) charts and theorises the current traffic of ideas and aesthetics moving between theatricality and exhibition-based curatorial practices. The book was shortlisted for the Theatre and Performance Research Association (TaPRA) Early Career Research Prize 2017 and informed educational programmes on performance and contemporary curation at Tate Modern. It has been widely reviewed by international scholarly journals as a "significant" and "remarkable contribution to the field of theatre and performance studies" (Performance Paradigm, Theatre Journal).

Georgina's current work on Telling Acts traces a shift from visual to verbal images across theatre and the visual arts, and proposes models for curating with sound through reported action and theatrical installation. Essays from this project are published in Special Issues of Theatre Journal on Theatre and the Museum / Cultures of Display (2017) and Installation (2022), Critical Stages on Aural/Oral Dramatugies (2021), and Performance Research On Disappearance (2019). With Johanna Linsley, Georgina co-edited the recent Special Issue of Contemporary Theatre Review on Hear Tell: Describing, Reporting, Narrating (2024). Georgina's research is translated in an invited contribution to a Special Issue of French theatre journal Théâtre/ Public on Faire scène: Arts de la scène et arts visuels (2021).

From 2016-2021, Georgina was academic co-lead, with Helen Nicholson, Libby Worth, and Ruth Hemus on Royal Holloway's partnership with Tate on their Tate Exchange programme. This included four series of events: Theatres of Exchange (2017), Stages of Production (2018), Making Moves (2019), and Performance & Power (2020). Georgina was a member of the Research Steering Group and Archive Working Group for Tate Exchange (2019-2021).

Georgina has been Chair of Exams (2021-2023) and PGT Education Lead for Drama, Theatre and Dance (2019-2021). During this time, she convened the MA Theatre Directing with Katie Mitchell, for which she received a College Performance Award. Georgina is committed to cultural collaboration. From 2015-2017 she was Director of Impact for Drama, Theatre and Dance.
