Reading

The Museum of English Rural Life is owned and managed by the University of Reading. We use our diverse and surprising collection to explore how the skills and experiences of farmers and craftspeople, past and present, can help shape our lives now and into the future. We work alongside rural people, local communities and specialist researchers to create displays and activities that engage with important debates about the future of food and the ongoing relevance of the countryside to all our lives. We were established by academics in the Department of Agriculture in 1951 to capture and record the rapidly changing countryside following World War II. The Museum is based on Redlands Road in a building originally designed by Sir Alfred Waterhouse in 1880 for local businessman Alfred Palmer, of the Huntley & Palmer biscuit company. The house then became St Andrews Hall of Residence in 1911, and in 2005 a modern extension was built onto the house for the Museum. The Museum was awarded £1.8million from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) in 2014 for the redevelopment of the galleries, reopening in October 2016. The redevelopment strengthens and renews our links with agriculture as well as enhancing our position in supporting engagement opportunities for students and academics across a wide variety of disciplines, nationally and internationally. The MERL and Reading Museum are currently in a strategic partnership as part of the Arts Council England National Portfolio 2018-2022. As Museums Partnership Reading we work together to provide cultural opportunities for Reading’s young people and diverse communities, through schools, volunteering, digital engagement and exhibitions.

Eleanor’s career path has been firmly rooted within the disciplines of Drama, Dance and Music. Having initially trained as a ballet dancer at the Royal Academy of Dance, London, under the instruction of June Mitchel, Eleanor went on to gain a degree in Music, specialising in the voice. Post degree, Eleanor’s work has taken her into the film industry, television productions, modelling, a singing residency in Mayfair and even a record deal. Eleanor has also been lucky enough to explore dramatic performance through many platforms including: Film The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (as Lily Cole’s body double/stand in) Inkheart Bourne Ultimatum Batman – The Dark Knight National Treasure – Book of Secrets Robin Hood A Long Way Down Get Him To The Greek Inception The Other Man Advertisements Compare The Market Heinz Sky Head & Shoulders Marks & Spencer Christmas Commercial Vodafone Television Come Fly With Me Sense and Sensibility Love Soup Made in Chelsea Rev White Heat Above Suspicion Echo Beach Plus One Secret Diary of a Call Girl The Hour Holby City New Tricks Spooks Music Videos The Goodbooks – ‘The Illness’ Pixie Lott – ‘Broken Arrow’ KT Tunstall – ‘Made of Glass’ 15 years ago, Eleanor was headhunted to teach ballet at Heathfield School in Ascot, and teaching quickly became what is now a lifelong passion. Equipping pupils with the skills to build self-concept through communication and expression became a driving force for Eleanor. She was among the first group of postgraduates to be awarded the Royal Academy of Dance’s Diploma in Dance Teaching Studies, and Eleanor is currently completing her MA Education (Drama). Alongside her pedagogical studies, Eleanor taught Drama, Dance and Musical Theatre at a further four independent schools in Ascot for over a decade. She and her wonderful team currently deliver the co-curricular Performing Arts provision at 7 schools and colleges within Surrey and Hampshire. “I have an immense passion for teaching and feel privileged to have such an enriching career. Through my teaching, I strive to make the studio a fully inclusive, inspirational environment in which students can develop and have their talents nurtured. Continued professional development is critical in the evolving world of performing arts education. I recognise and embrace the importance of reflecting upon current teaching strategies and adapting to the needs of students, and I am a great advocate of Dance, Drama and Musical Theatre in a child development capacity.” Eleanor Bowyer BA (Hons), HND, RAD DDTS, PGDip Ed.
