Ruth Childs
Born: 1984
in London (United Kingdom).
She lives and works in Geneva (Switzerland).
Dancer and choreographer Ruth Childs moved to Geneva in 2003 to finish her training with the Ballet Junior de Genève.
She has worked with many internationally known choreographers and directors including Foofwa d’Imobilité, La Ribot, Gilles Jobin, Massimo Furlan, Marco Berrettini and Yasmine Hugonnet. Since 2015, she has also been working on
a project to recreate the early works of her aunt, American choreographer Lucinda Child (1940). Her work ceaselessly questions the boundaries between dance, performance and music. In 2014, she founded her own company, Scarlett’s, to
develop projects and foster collaborative processes. In 2021, a grant from the Swiss Cultural Centre in Paris and La Becque in Switzerland led her to collaborate with Cécile Bouffard on delicate people.
