Customer testimonials

"Christina Barandun not only understands the dynamics in groups and how to use them constructively, but above all the special processes in cultural organisations. Her practical and approachable ideas and suggestions always open doors."

Anja Dirks, Inga Schonlau, Jörg Pohl,
Antú Romero Nunes, Theatre Basel

"We have experienced it in our company: Christina Barandun really helps the artist's soul."

Roger Christmann, Managing Director, Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch

"What is methodologically unique about Christina Barandun's approach is the combination of her perspective as a coach with that of a theatre expert. Her work combines the best of two worlds that fertilise each other: On the one hand, the holistic and systemic change of organisations, and on the other, the artistic business, whose greatest special feature is perhaps precisely its constant ability to take shape and change."

Amelie Deuflhard & Jonas Zipf, Artistic & Managing Director, Kampnagel Hamburg

"Precise in her observations, emphatic in her approach, knowledgeable about the challenges of working in cultural institutions; Christina Barandun succeeds in providing a practical guide for people in the arts."

Bettina Masuch, dramaturge and artistic director at the Festspielhaus St. Pölten

"The integrative approach, which involves all stakeholders in the theatre, is a recipe for success for a modern and sustainable theatre."

Heisam Abbas, Badisches Staatstheater Stuttgart
