“Interviewing me onstage is not a walk in the park, but Michaela was fully up to the job. Flexible, smart, light on her toes, funny - a good time was had by all, me and the audience included.”

Margaret Atwood
"A conversation is a kind of collaborative artwork made by both / all participants, and in this spirit, Michaela is a gifted co-creator."
