“Karen is an active listener and responds to what she hears with clear, sharp rearticulations and provocations in ways where you understand your own thoughts and experience in a clearer way. She generously brings in her very broad catalogue of experience and uses language and reflections on language in a way that is very useful. She is wholly present and opens up a co-creative space that makes you feel at ease and respected as an equal.”
Katrina Bugaj
Artistic director, Out of Balanz
“Karen is a compassionate advisor while at the same time she is also a sharp devil's advocate. An ability I greatly appreciate as it brings Sydhavn Teater and myself as theater director forward. She is quick to analyze a situation and cut to the core of the problem - with her great human and media understanding she made me reflect and by that develop both the theatre ad myself as a leader.”
Mille Maria Dalsgaard
