Adèle Le Gallez        writer - performer - visuals  

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) which is where their interest in 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 of 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 the history of trespass and how we now occupy the digital space.

Solo practice: 
Adele likes to create moments of reflection, whilst simultaneously producing adventitious experiences through their ekphrastic techniques.
They most recently (2024) performed Mortar (2022-2024) at Emergency 25' at Contact Theatre, as well as Camden People's Theatre. The show researched burnout and the term 'karoshi', exploring the grief, pain and solitude of letting childhood dreams die to go and work in concrete buildings.

This performance was 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. They are currently commissioned by hAb+Contact Theatre as Works Ahead 2025 Artist, due to showcase their new show in May of 2025.
