DRAMATURGY

Lizi Patch is a sensitive, insightful, and generous dramaturg, critical friend, and mentor, known for her ability to guide creative work with clarity, curiosity, and care. She brings a deep understanding of narrative, structure and emotional rhythm, helping writers and performers shape stories that are authentic, resonant, and theatrically bold.

As a dramaturg, Lizi is collaborative and inquisitive — she asks the right questions at the right time, supporting artists to articulate and refine their vision without imposing her own. Her role as a critical friend is rooted in trust and honesty: she offers constructive challenge, creative provocation, and encouragement in equal measure, always with the goal of helping the work reach its full potential.

As a mentor, Lizi is especially passionate about nurturing early-career and young artists. She creates safe, empowering spaces for growth, often working with emerging writers and performers to help them find their voice and navigate the wider creative landscape. Her approach is deeply human — balancing professional rigour with warmth, humour, and emotional intelligence.

In all these roles, Lizi is a connector — someone who fosters reflection, dialogue, and meaningful artistic development.
