Since 1983 Ruth has been working in the arts, attending Liverpool Theatre School training in dance, mime and theatre skills. She completed further training at Creative Arts School in Sydney, Australia, becoming tutor for two years. Upon returning to the UK, Ruth became involved in disability and deaf arts as an artist and social activist.\u00a0 As a deaf person she has faced many barriers and prejudices, so coming across the wonderful and delightful world in 1995 transformed her thinking, aspirations and art practices.<\/p>

Ruth became an Artistic Director with a disability arts charity involved in creating opportunities for others, founding DaDaFest in 2001, a festival shaped and led by the lived experience of disability and deaf cultures. The festival has gone from strength to strength and impacted thinking around access, inclusion and programming, reflecting all people through cross arts form activities that have helped to reposition disabled people as valued and contributing members of society.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
