Adèle Le Gallez        writer - performer - visual artist  

Beginning in the Karen Dempsey Dance Co in Guernsey, Channel Islands, Adele performed with the dance school at Sadler’s Wells, London (2006) and Her Majesty’s Theatre, London (2008) and is where their interest for performance and writing began. After graduating in 2017 from Bristol UWE in Theatre & Creative Writing, Adele co-founded MOUTH, a Bristol based dance-theatre duo. In 2022, Adèle received an MA from the Manchester School of Theatre. 

​

Collaborations: They created and toured Mouth (2017) the first self-titled piece, before being commissioned by Arts Council England, in support with Creative Youth Network (Bristol), to create Skin (2018) and a further third show Teeth (2019). With mentorship from CYN and becoming Ferment Artists through Bristol Old Vic’s Artist Development Programme, MOUTH performed in several venues around Bristol over the three years as an active company, including CYN (2017-2019), Tobacco Factory Theatres, Bristol (2017-2019), Exchange (2018) and Circomedia, Bristol (2019). Adele also co-produced Nothing (2018) by Lulu Raczka in collaboration with A Room Full Of People Present. Most recently, Adele worked on and performed in Sunday Morning (2023) by Josh Coates, which played at Unity Theatre, Liverpool, and online at Home, Manchester. Sunday Morning is a walking tour of the internet that takes you through history of trespass and how we now occupy the digital space.

Solo practice: 
Adele likes to create moments of reflection, and to speak to the individual, whilst simultaneously producing adventitious experiences through their ekphrastic techniques.
They most recently (2024) produced and debuted a performance at Camden People's Theatre titled Mortar (2022-2024) which researched burnout and this term of 'karoshi', exploring the grief, pain and solitude of letting childhood dreams die to go and work in concrete buildings.

This performance is inspired by a series of double exposed photographs they took from around the Greater Manchester/Salford area, and also by the 1971 song 'In Tall Buildings' by John Hartford. Through 2022 they also created an installation titled jellyfish (2022), and wrote and presented a performance lecture Suits, Fruits, Specifically Plums (2022).
