Goldie Patrick

For over 15 years Goldie E. Patrick has been passionately working, living, and building artistic collaborations in theatre. A one-stop shop in the space where theatre is conceived and created, Goldie has a unique skill in imagining and interrogating the world of the characters and the play through her "triple threat" skills and experience as dramturge, director and playwright. With a fresh voice and perspective echoing the multilayered experiences of Black womxn and girls, Goldie brings a rigor of her  craft to perfectly blend with a cultural ingenuity. As a bold public advocate for Black womxn and girls, she has gained international recognition for her work as founder, and Producing Artistic Director of F.R.E.S.H.H. Inc Theatre Company, for 5 years. Her work at FRESHH includes the development of a unique curriculum which includes a playwriting program for early career playwrights, culturally competent acting and devising techniques, and a series of Hip Hop Theatre curricula.  With a zealous approach to developing new theatre, Goldie's has cultivated a vast culturally inclusive lens and praxis to her work.  Working thoughtfully as a playwright and director to model her mentor's contribution to the cannon of theater that illuminates the Black experience, she is simultaneously pushing the boundaries of form, style, and aesthetic.  The unique intersection of her  work as a writer, director and  cultural worker is indicative of her wholistic approach to theatre making.
