Charlotta Ruth
uses methods of performance, choreography and gameplay to systematically experiment with time and perception. Her work is based on a deep interest in collective thinking, concrete contexts and places and on an exchange of ideas among different media. Her pieces have been co-produced, commissioned and presented, for example, at MDT, Museum of Modern Art and Dansens Hus in Stockholm, at Tanzquartier Wien, brut Wien, WUK performing arts, Brunnenpassage and City Games Vienna. Since 2017, Ruth is connected to the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where she finished her PhD in artistic research (2022) and is active in various roles at the Angewandte Performance Laboratory (APL). She is also a lecturer in the MA course Applied Human Rights at the Vienna University and a guest researcher with SciFi Elise Richter PEEK research project Outerwoman headed by language artist Cordula Daus. Charlotta Ruth’s research and publication foci include participatory sense-making, the art of asking questions, asynchronous communication and the creation of liveness in digital/online communication. In 2024, she is using the one-year work scholarship awarded to her by the City of Vienna for Choreographic Traces and Chain Creations.
