“The class was memorable, a breakthrough; it allowed me to express myself in ways that have been impossible before. That was owed to you, to who you are, to the way you approach those you are teaching. You are a friend, and in that context, anything seems OK, and with that comes release of creativity." –Frederica Bunge |

“Not only was Ruth available for support and guidance, but she provided a setting in which to safely and freely explore inner thoughts and feelings if we so desired. She helped me work through the block of not knowing how to do that, by suggesting and offering a form in which to weave colored strips of paper that I had painted with different watercolor techniques. In Ruth’s class, I felt a real joy in experimenting with new materials, and with patience and trust in the process, creating a piece that spoke to me about the colors of my life. The class was both very meaningful and a lot of fun.” –Annis Kukulan |

“I see movement as a way to communicate and share experience. I gravitate towards choreography because I am interested in how you tell stories on stage; how you create the language that we use to communicate.”
