Green T Productions inspires, expands horizons and challenges assumptions with creative physical performance that straddles the boundaries of music, dance and theater.
Under the artistic leadership of Dr. Kathy Welch Green T ensemble core-group experiments with style & form drawing on a variety of traditions, while developing their own unique style, using creative movement in visual storytelling. We believe in artistic cross-pollination and actively seek artistic collaborators. Green Ts performances have been described as “actor-based storytelling” … “inspirational, thought-provoking & innovative” … “approachable without being pretentious.”
Green T Productions has been producing theater in the Twin Cities since 1999. Our early productions included:
·our sell-out inaugural show Kabuki!, at the Bryant Lake Bowl in 1999
·Road to Kyoto, co-produced with the Bloomington Art Center
·The Not so Attractive Mallard, a water puppet play performed in Minneapolis lakes Harriet, Calhoun, Cedar & Nolomis.
·Medea Bali, called “powerful” by the City Pages’ Max Sparber at the Old Arizona
·The Lion’s Pride in Pamona, California and subsequently published in the “Mime Journal.”
More recently, Green T has been experimenting with creating its own unique theatrical aesthetic. Recent Green T shows include:
·1000 Cranes which used kabuki-inspired movement to tell the story of a girl dying of radiation poisoning and was performed at the opening of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts new wing.
·Tales of Rashomon called “stylish…assured and wrenching” by the City Pages’ Quinton Skinner.
·Medea: a Noh Cycle, in collaboration with Theater Unbound, called “arrestingly dramatic” with “gripping stylized performances…” by the Star Tribune’s John Townsend.
·The Trojan Women, which utilized the stunning movement and mesmerizing choral chant of kecak to dramatize the fate of Troy’s people.
·The Hobbit, in which a Beijing opera wizard propels the meek hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, into an adventure teeming with puppets and pageantry, kabuki dwarves and flamenco elves, ninja spiders and sumo trolls in a dazzling cultural kaleidoscope.
