What People Say About Patch Your Career

Patch Schwadron's School to Career programs lead college and university dancers through the murky uncertainties of meaningful futures with rich field insight and a lifelong dancer's finesse.  Her funny, generous, practical nurturing is an educator's gift as workshop materials invite interactive engagement anchored in the lived experiences of student participants. The quickly initiated come to understand the creative resource within themselves to navigate the "messy middle" of seemingly constant change, while understanding the need for mentors in many arenas that make up an artful, sustainable life. As Patch's devotees come to learn, "if you aren't having fun, get help", a mindful orientation indeed for those thinking big and bigger about what their contributions to the field continue to include and reveal.
