About us
My name is Karina Bettina Gisler, I was born 1957 and grew up on the countryside in Switzerland. I am traveling often, as a trainer and as a curious person. Nature, dance and art are my sources and great passions, especially Playback-Theater. I do it for more than 30 years now and which still passionates me.
My other haven is the love I share with my husband Yakov Yakushevsky.

How did you meet each other?
We found each other in the first International Playback-Theater Camp held in 2012 in Crimea. First we were friends, then lovers. We got married in 2014. We are both clowns inside, which makes our married life most of the time a lot of fun and a bit unpredictable.
Our motto is: Life as a miracle.
