FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS WORKSHOPS WITH PATRICIA: 

"I would love more workshops like this!"

"Thank you so much for this magical and hands-on workshop. It has probably been the best education I have thus far received in my drama and acting education. I want to thank Ms. Boyer especially, what a phenomenal and wonderful teacher. I greatly appreciate all I have learned and would love for more workshops to take place!"

"It's important for every artist to sharpen their craft, this is it. Just dive in and go for it, i learned to listen to my soul and trust my instincts. Thank you so much Patricia for sharing your knowledge, skills and tools with us."

"The workshop was nothing short of inspiring. The critical focus on the doingness of performance was exhausting and exciting. It was useful to have somebody push you without taking no for an answer and the process itself was quite insightful. Once a month sessions of this kind would be amazing- just a pure focus on performance."
