“I unequivocally recommend Pauline van Antwerpen as a unique and talented artist and performer for any number of occasions. Pauline has the uncanny ability to put herself ‘in the shoes’ of her audience and bring out a poignant message that touches everyone who hears it.
As an example, Pauline recently performed for the Workplace Pride Foundation which is dedicated to increasing the visibility and emancipation of LGBT at work, during our 2012 Conference Closing Dinner and Awards Ceremony. At this event, Pauline expertly articulated the message that we as a foundation are trying to give by reversing the roles of straight people and homosexuals in society. Through her humor, uncanny talent for observing human behaviour and ability to make everyone feel comfortable, she very clearly helped all participants understand some of the challenges that LGBT people face in the workplace and in life.
I have seen Pauline perform for different audiences for a number of years now, in Flamish, Dutch and English and am confident that her own inner awareness and self confidence can be a unifying and motivating factor for any group that she would perform for. “
