Ruth Levin-Vorster is a South African director, choreography, teacher, writer and film-maker. Her works are a unique combination of medicine, dance, and theatre, starting with the body and working through the psyche and story.

The common thread through all these disciplines is working with the body as her starting point and the route into the psyche of character, performer, dancer or story

Education
Levin-Vorster has an MA in Theatre & Performance from University of Cape Town. Her undergraduate study took place at the Drama Centre in London, where she remained to work professionally until 2002.
