Born in Coimbra, Portugal, Francisco Patricio discovered his passion for movement at age three. His early dedication led him to train at some of Europe’s most prestigious institutions, including the National Conservatory Dance School in Lisbon, Ballettschule Theater Basel, and the École Supérieure de Danse de Marseille. At just 17, he was selected for the 33rd Prix de Lausanne, where he earned a scholarship that launched his international dance career.

Francisco has performed with acclaimed companies such as Ballett Theater Basel and Ballet National de Marseille, collaborating with visionary choreographers like Sharon Eyal, Johan Inger, and Andonis Foniadakis. His repertoire spans classical precision and avant-garde experimentation, making him a powerful vessel for embodied storytelling.

Since 2023, Francisco has expanded into a dynamic freelance career as a choreographer, dancer, model, and teacher. His original works have premiered at Future Dance Festival NYC, Dance Basel, and other global platforms, where he’s become known for his daring, emotionally charged choreographic voice.

Now based in Paris, Francisco bridges the worlds of dance, fashion, and visual art with a multidisciplinary approach that’s both editorial and cinematic. As a movement director and muse, he collaborates with brands and artists who value depth, edge, and authenticity—bringing a distinctive fusion of technique, elegance, and raw power to every frame.
