Dance and Movement Creator

Creating movement rooted in honesty and based on intention…while having lots of fun

Patrick was born and raised in Southern California and began dancing at the age of 7 in Orange County. At age 18, he was a finalist for the Los Angeles Music Center’s Spotlight Awards in the non-classical dance category where two young artists in each category are selected from all high school students in Southern California. He received a BFA in Dance from California State University at Long Beach as a Fine Arts Affiliates Scholar where he studied under principal dancers from Martha Graham, Bill T. Jones, Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, Doug Varone and others.

After graduating, Patrick moved to New York City and booked his first theatrical job in Wicked as the dance captain/swing for their Chicago company. A year and half later, Wicked selected him to become their North American Dance Supervisor where he oversaw 4 different companies of Wicked playing on the continent. This role changed his life and helped him grow as a creative team member. He learned to communicate clearly with actors, dancers, directors, production team members, creatives, etc.

In 2012, Patrick began to work as an associate choreographer on Broadway with British choreographer Steven Hoggett who became a formative mentor. Alongside Steven, he worked on Peter and the Starcatcher, Rocky, The Last Ship and Angels in America. During this time, Patrick choreographed his first show, Unknown Soldier, which debuted at Williamstown Theater Festival and his first Off-Broadway show, The Lightning Thief.

In late 2016, Patrick was brought on to choreograph a new show for the Atlantic Theater Company called The Band’s Visit, a show that would go on to become the first Broadway musical that he would choreograph.  In 2018, The Band’s Visit won 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical. 

Since then, Patrick has worked on several exciting projects including his first venture into Shakespeare with The Tempest, a work performed in collaboration with The Old Globe and the LA Philharmonic at The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. He has also worked on his first opera, a new American work called A Marvelous Order by Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy K. Smith and composer Judd Greenstein which centers around New York City Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, author/activist Jane Jacobs and the fight that stopped Moses from building a superhighway through Lower Manhattan, the borough where he currently resides.
