Ruth Mikusko, Special Projects & Planning Coordinator

Now in her 6th season, Ruth joined Stanford Lively Arts as Information Coordinator, working with all departments in the Lively Arts program. In 2005 Ruth moved into the Programming department, researching Artists and their work, liaising with agents and managers, and with responsibility for Artist contracts. She still works extensively with the Education department as administrator for the Student Matinee program and on logistics coordination for Lively Arts’ activities and residencies on campus.

Now dancing with Red Thistle Scottish Dancers, she has also been a member of the San Francisco Free Folk Festival’s organizing committee. Ruth holds a degree in Dance and English from Roehampton Institute at the University of Surrey, England, and a UK high school teaching qualification in Dance and Math; she taught modern dance technique at Bridgwater College, England prior to moving into Arts Administration.
