Educator
“Once you figure out how someone learns, you can teach them anything. I’m particularly proud of my history of working with actors to discover and harness what makes them unique as creatives.”
THE NEW YORK SESSIONS
Patrick maintains a small studio in New York City that has become a refuge and playground for actors.
For two and a half hours, seven artists come together and through twenty-minute individual works sessions we use this safe, holistic space to deepen authenticity and individuality in storytelling by prioritizing process and elevating an artist’s right to take up space.

Testimonials
“In a city filled with overpriced drop-in classes and instructors who are often more preoccupied with teaching their “method”, Patrick and the community he has cultivated are truly singular. ”
“In an art form often clouded by emotion and self-doubt, he reminded me how celebrating the process can steady the course.”
“Patrick’s class has allowed me to feel like a well rounded artist - not just a dancer. What used to feel like “being good enough to book the job” has turned into taking up space and knowing that I will always feel confident in what I have to offer. ”
“Patrick has built the most inclusive artistic harbor for camaraderie and discovery in New York City. And his investment in holistic success for the artist far surpasses your twenty minutes of work. He’s brought in financial advisors, a mental fitness coach, even a meditation specialist. Like, who does that?! ”
“Patrick’s classes are like a breath of fresh air. He (and his excellent accompanists) have the desire and ability to “meet everyone where they are” without judgment and with immense humanity. ”
“Patrick not only helped me refine my craft but also instilled in me the radical belief that I could fully pursue my dreams. I consider him the backbone of my work here in the city.”
“I found Patrick’s studio at a time when I was new to the industry and in need of two major things: a blueprint I could use to find authenticity in my performance, and a safe place to work past the nagging imposter syndrome that reared itself around my more trained and seasoned peers. Patrick’s studio has given me both. ”
“He is a master of his craft and teaches with kindness while quickly adapting to each actor’s learning styles and needs. I always end class proud of the work we accomplished.”
“Patrick creates a community of bright and unique artists, which in turn creates a vibrant support system for any actor looking to learn from and connect with those in the NY theater scene.”
“Patrick knowledge of the industry, learning styles, and people makes his class not only interesting but also deeply healing. His generosity as a leader, coupled with his genuine curiosity about people, makes this class unlike any other.”
