Adi Gortler

Movement Director. Teacher. Director

Adi is a London-based movement director (Royal Court, Netflix, Chichester, Jermyn Street, NYT, LAMDA, Park Theatre, Gate), teacher (LAMDA, RCSSD, Trinity Laban), and director (Artsdepot Residency, The Arab-Hebrew Theatre, Haifa International Festival).

With training in London (MFA) and Tel Aviv (B.Ed), her journey has been one of exploration and amalgamation, drawing from the realms of theatre, performance arts, Yoga, martial arts, and a myriad of physical techniques.

This rich tapestry of influences has cultivated a practice that goes beyond the conventional, allowing her to craft a space that thrives on collaboration and creativity in storytelling.

At the heart of her approach lies a deep celebration of people and their individuality, fostering an environment where uniqueness and identities are celebrated and expressed.

From both the teaching and directing lenses, the objective is to challenge the story we are telling through the individuals’ physical expression and the ensemble work.

The Guardian
Adi Gortler’s movement direction adds an efficient, slick and quietly expressive tonality to the stage language while the nuance of the text appears mined with characteristic theatrical warmth under Hunter’s direction.
