Patrick Collier

Patrick heads up the fundraising, finances, producing, communications, and strategic direction of Access All Areas.

He joined us in 2013, helping to grow the company from a community drama group to a National Portfolio Organisation and production company.

An experienced producer and director, Patrick has produced or overseen almost all our productions since 2013, our Transforming Leadership programme, and our more recent collaborations with TV and film companies.

Previously, he was Producer and Associate Director of 201 Dance Company, Creative Producer of Theatre Témoin, and produced Graeae’s “Aruna and the Raging Sun” – a 3 year collaboration with La Fura dels Baus, the British Council, the British High Commission of India, and 100 disabled artists in India, culminating in a large-scale outdoor production in Chennai for an audience of over 10,000 people. He’s also collaborated with Theatre Re, Metta Theatre, Sparkle and Dark, and others.

Patrick is driven by a desire to help build a cultural landscape that better represents all parts of our society, and that includes new types of experiences and storytelling that we don’t often see in the arts or media.
