KAREN BLACK — IMPROVISATION WITH ARCHITECTUREKaren Black’s authorship is the way she turns fracture into design—through timing, preparation, and sudden pivots that stay human. Under pressure, she senses what a scene needs in order to hold, then quietly builds it without losing generosity toward her partners or the audience.In conversation with Stephen Eckelberry and Diane Bay (2025).
