About Ruthana Slob

Ruthana Slob completed her Bachelor of Theatre at the Amsterdam University of the Arts and a Master of Education in Arts at the University of the Arts Utrecht. Ruthana had the opportunity to work with professional (international) performing arts companies, art schools and art funds, as well as in policy making with (local) governments and as a researcher with multiple research institutes. Ruthana also holds multiple degrees in life coaching and runs a practice for children, adults and professionals. In her practice she works with a wide variety of methods, including art-, nature- and animal assisted interventions. Ruthana’s drive to support the space where performing arts, animal studies and social change come together has led her to a doctorate program in Applied Theatre at the University of Victoria. With her (practice-based) research Ruthana explores how applied theatre can play a role in bringing awareness to the interconnectedness of all life on earth.
