About Ruth Paton

Extensive 20 year experience as a production designer for opera and theatre. My work has included community engagement and education as a key part of my practice as an artist and I have a history of delivering creative, ambitious and impactful outreach work which connects with many heterogeneous groups of people. Work as a creative educator and facilitator include projects for a wide range of clients include English National Opera, Garsington Opera and the Royal Opera House. As a theatre designer, I have made a body of work in response to music, mostly opera, which use painting and sculptural elements to underpin narrative. Long term collaborations include those with directors Tom Guthrie, Mark Down, Karen Gillingham, George Peck, Hazel Gould and Tim Yealland for companies including The Royal Opera House, English National Opera, Garsington Opera, I Fagiolini, Longborough Opera Festival, Princeton University, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Academy of Ancient Music.Puppet designs have been for Longborough Festival Opera, the Barbican and LSO St Lukes and, as Artistic Associate at Blind Summit Theatre, I have collaborated on productions for Bregenz Festival, Spoleto Festival and the Hollywood Bowl, LA.
