What’s your favourite place in Scotland?
I love to find myself on top of any Scottish mountain but two places that take my heart in Scotland: Glen Dessary, where I got married to Claire, is the most remote and beautiful highland glen full of stags, wildlife and beautiful memories. The second is Torridon, for the amazing hikes, scenic views and mushroom foraging.

What’s your favourite ballet to watch?
I love watching Romeo and Juliet for the storytelling and the transcending music.

What’s your favourite ballet to perform?
Highland Fling is the ballet where I have had the most fun on stage. The Scottish setting makes it a dream to perform, and I’ve had some of the best memories taking it on tour to the Highlands and Islands. I also loved performing MC 14/22: Ceci est mon corps for its physicality, strength and endurance.

What do you like to do on your days off?
Most of my days off are spent hiking some mountains, camping in the wild or being out in nature.

What’s something people might not know about you?
I’m completely self-taught in photography and I started my own photography business in 2017.

What’s your hype song?
‘The Git Up’ by Blanco Brown is my go-to hype song at the moment.

What’s your favourite movie?
Jurassic Park! Particularly the first movie in the series, but I can easily binge watch them all in a day.

What’s the best thing about going on tour with the company?
The places I have discovered when touring nationally and internationally. We are lucky to have had some of the best tours around the world, discovering new cultures, new places and new mountains.

Repertoire Highlights: Danforth (The Crucible), Ringmaster/Zach (The Snow Queen).

‘Javier Andreu and Rimbaud Patron are sharp and precise in the Spanish dance’
The Secret Theatre, Seeing Dance, December 2020

‘She (Claire Souet) is contrary, passionate, enticing; he (Rimbaud Patron) is adoring and exasperated. It’s a lovely pas de deux.’
Trace, Dance Tabs, August 2020

‘With staccato manoeuvres, the trio of danseurs – particularly Rimbaud Patron, communicate such weight, despite their featherfoot movements. Their presence in Salem is clear, their motives sharp, decisive and imposing.’
The Crucible, Corr Blimey, September 2019
