CHARLOTTA RUTH (S/A) 1977, Ruth’s work has e.g. been presented at Tanzquartier & Brut Vienna, MDT & Dansens Hus Stockholm and international touring to Denmark, Estonia, Russia, Norway, France. As an artistic researcher she has worked at Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Uniarts, Stockholm and is part of a project developed by University of Applied Arts Vienna at the Venice Artistic Research Pavilion in 2019.

A continuous source for inspiration and resonance of thought comes from working as a performer and collaborator with other artists e.g. Ingrid Cogne, Carola Dertnig, Alexander Gottfarb, Dominik Grünbühel, Anne Juren, Toxic Dreams/Yosi Wanunu, Petter Jacobsson & Thomas Caley. Ruth is educated at the Royal Swedish Ballet school and holds an MFA in choreography with performance art specialization from Uniarts Stockholm. She also studied computational thinking & basic programming, e-poetry, digital movie making, media activism, writing of Live Action Role Play and is since 2017 a PhD student in artistic research at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna.
