Hi!

Patric here. Thank you for dropping by and seeing my work!

I have a story for you.

I was sitting in an acting workshop one day, and the facilitator asked the class to put why we do theatre into a five-word phrase; "why bother," he asked. My answer was simple. "I bother because theatre connects." A simple idea to connect, but after many connections, you look at the big picture and have somehow created an entire network; a network connecting you to your actors, to the story, to other designers and collaborators, to yourself, and most importantly, to the receptor of the message. The more we connect, the more we can relate to one another, something vastly needed in our world today. I want to create work that makes a lasting impact and leaves them (the audience/reader) with a positively perpetuating message. I want to create pieces that disturb, disrupt, engage, enlighten, inspire, comfort, and, most importantly, bring culture to consciousness. As human beings, we in this life are charged with teaching each other so that the future is brighter than the past.

I look forward to learning with you!
