Karen Knox is an actor, writer, and director based in Toronto, a city which she regularly makes fun of in private but would defend to the death to in an international context. Karen plays "Veronica Vale" in the critically acclaimed award winning series Barbelle - for which she has also received several nominations for best actor (T.O Webfest, Pilot Light TV Festival). She has made that hot cash money working as an actor and writer for the following companies: Shaftesbury, Smokebomb, CBC, Ubisoft, Mad Ruk, and Muse Entertainment. Further evidence of her qualifications as a professional you might want to work with can be found on her website along with several photos verifying that she is a "good dresser" (not corroborated by Wikipedia). Karen studied acting in the U.K at L.A.M.D.A where she was asked to leave the program after "destroying" (her words) a member of the Royal Shakespeare company in a debate on female representation in Shakespeare. She refused to leave and graduated with an (ultimately useless) Master's degree in classical acting.As a director Karen's film, The Case of the Massey Bodice Ripping, premiered at the Cannes Intentional Film Festival's Short film Corner (2018), and screened around the world at various other festivals. She continues to develop a body of work that subverts traditional narratives - through the female gaze - with an aesthetic that draws from French impressionism and Gucci adds. Karen loves Peter Greenaway and likes to believe that if he were a 27 year old woman living in Toronto - he would be making films that are similar to the ones she is making. Peter would disagree as he does not currently know who Karen is. Her production company, Boss & Co has produced work that has screened around the world at film festivals including Cannes, OutFest LA, TO Webfest, The Pilot Light Festival, and Stareable Festival NYC.While she currently has irreconcilable differences with the medium of traditional theatre, she has in past performed across Canada, as well as in London's West End.
