ABOUT

Ruby Rose Fox is a visionary artist, author, educator, and nervous system pioneer whose work transcends traditional boundaries between art, science, and human connection. With over 30 years of formal training and stage experience as a theatrical actress and musician, Ruby’s career is a testament to her unwavering dedication to both creative expression and personal transformation. Deeply immersed in Polyvagal Theory and the science of the nervous system, she has pioneered innovative methods to help artists embrace their craft by prioritizing the health and harmony of their nervous systems.

In 2021, Ruby founded MuscleMusic, a groundbreaking nervous system training program that redefines how artists view their bodies and minds. Central to this program is The Fox Method, which empowers artists to see their nervous systems as their primary instrument. Rather than focusing solely on nervous system education, Ruby’s approach emphasizes the nervous system as a dynamic, harmonic system capable of infinite expression. By integrating principles of regulation, play, and resilience, MuscleMusic provides tools for performers to move beyond survival states and unlock their full creative potential.

Ruby’s mission with MuscleMusic is to serve the artist community by fostering a deeper connection between creativity, regulation, and human potential. Her work embraces artists from all walks of life, including neurodiverse individuals and those navigating trauma, offering a compassionate and inclusive framework for navigating the complexities of creative life. Through her teaching, writing, and mentorship, Ruby strives to answer the question: How can we serve artists better?

Ruby holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from Emerson College, where she honed her craft under the guidance of some of the industry’s most respected mentors. She also studied jazz and vocal performance at Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory. She studied Polyvagal Theory with the Polyvagal Institute with Deb Dana through the Polyvagal Institute, and Somatic Experiencing. This education helped Ruby to craft a completely new field of practice that lays between somatic theory and peak artistic performance.

An accomplished artist in her own right, Ruby’s creative career is marked by accolades and achievements. As a musician, she has captivated audiences with her distinctive voice and evocative songwriting, earning critical acclaim and national recognition. Her genre-defying music has been celebrated for its raw honesty and cinematic depth, weaving together influences from soul, rock, and theatrical storytelling. Ruby’s artistry extends beyond the stage; she has collaborated with universities, non-profits, correctional facilities, and homeless shelters, bringing her work to diverse audiences untethered to systems of power.

Currently, Ruby recently completed her first book, SUPERPLAY, an exploration of her philosophy and methods, aimed at helping artists cultivate resilience, playfulness, and emotional granularity in their work. Combining personal narratives with cutting-edge science, SUPERPLAY embodies Ruby’s passion for merging the heart of art with the rigor of science.

With a mission to empower artists and a career defined by fearless truth-telling, Ruby Rose Fox continues to inspire, innovate, and transform the creative landscape.
