Patrick Rizzotti is a scenic designer working in live performance, film and television, and virtual/augmented/mixed reality. His process is highly collaborative, and he aims to build experiences that visually explore the relationship between the stories and the context in which they are told. He is currently researching how altering the physical relationship of a performance space (location, method of narrative delivery, the relationship between performer and audience, etc.) impacts the creative process and the audience experience.
