Patrick Sabongui, an Assistant Professor of Theater at Brooklyn College and a seasoned actor, adds to his impressive acting portfolio with roles in upcoming productions, including the film 'Between Borders' and the NBC series 'The Hunting Party'. In a discussion, he reflects on the joy of mentoring passionate students within a diverse, creative community while drawing from his personal journey as a Canadian of Egyptian descent. Sabongui emphasizes the significance of understanding oneself to inform one's art, influenced by his multicultural upbringing.
My upbringing had a huge impact on not only my craft and my work but on my perspective on life. Acting demands that we know ourselves and interpret the world around us through our unique lens.
I love being in a learning environment that is fueled by enthusiasm for new knowledge. I'm also invigorated by the next generation of storytellers, inspired by their energy and ideas.
