True: My name is Patrick and I live in Brooklyn.
Also true: I grew up outside of Pittsburgh, but was raised mostly in my imagination.
Still true: The arts grabbed me at a young age as a signature potty dance taught me how not to wet myself.
From there my love of motion took me towards more formal dance training at the age of 5, a BFA in dance from NYU at the age of 21, and from there, an ever-evolving performance career in the age range of 30-35.
From NY City Center to basement studios in Siberia, my performance career has taken me around the world and back, leaving me with an insatiable thirst for the next adventure.
So... Where are we going?
