Eli Gale (She/Her) is a Jewish lesbian interdisciplinary artist and early career academic originally from New York State who lives and works in London, England. Gale has a BFA in Theatre and Development from Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec and an MA in Performance Making from Goldsmiths University of London, and has begun an MPhil/PhD at The University of Warwick in Theatre and Performance Studies. Gale’s research and work is at the intersection of Diasporic Jewishness, Theatre and Peformance Studies and queer theory. Her research is supervised by Dr David Coates and Dr Bryony White. She is inspired by Judith Butler’s Imitation and Gender Insubordination (Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader, 1993), Irena Klepfisz’s Resisting and Surviving America (Nice Jewish Girls : A Lesbian Anthology, 1989), Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection by Julia Kristeva and José Esteban Muñoz’s Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity (2009).
