Made By Katie Green
Made By Katie Green distinguishes work created and professional projects facilitated by choreographer Katie Green.
Katie Green’s choreography:
- examines moments of transition in our lives as a way of exploring the contrasts contained within all our experiences
- articulates stories about resilience and about hope
- uses narrative starting points, which are then re-imagined, abstracted and reiterated in order to find the more fundamental patterns that connect us
- integrates movement created through close contact work and the interplay of emotional intentions
- has been described as "meaningful, moving", "compelling", "tender and beautiful" (Sanjoy Roy, Amy Johnson, Kate Larsen) because it deals honestly with the nature of relationships and the ways we express ourselves physically
Within Made By Katie Green, 'green bean dance' refers to the learning strand of Katie's work, highlighting her commitment to participation and the strength of the company's youth dance activities from primary school to vocational level.
