Introducing Karen Workman
Karen joined Copyright Licensing New Zealand as our Creative Rights Educator / Kaiwhakahaere Whakapa mid 2021 and is focused on the development of the Creative Rights Education programme. Born in Taupō, Karen has been around the world and back again, with a hand in the creative arts at every turn. She gained her B.C.A. in Marketing and Management and her B Mus (Hons) in Piano from Victoria University of Wellington, Doctorate of Musical Arts in Piano performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music, Ohio, USA, and her certificate from the life of hard knocks by working with industry professionals and parents of child actors in Hollywood for the last eight years.
Karen also speaks regularly at various talent showcases in the USA, and has developed several curriculums for film programmes and business training for young actors. She is passionate about sharing information and with the majority of her family working in the arts, creative rights is a frequent dinner table subject. When not researching, learning and teaching (who are we kidding – that's all the time!) Karen enjoys travel, chasing events at theatres, films, street art, concerts, galleries, and bookstores, meeting new friends and having interesting conversations over a chai latte.
