Off the Wall and Onto the Stage: Dancing the Art of Jonathan Green brings Green’s Gullah inspired paintings to life through creative choreography and innovative sets. Starrett has created vignettes from 22 of Green’s paintings and explores the themes of family, faith, hope, and love. He incorporates Green’s rich, vibrant colors onto the stage through eye-popping backdrops and scrims, over 150 hand-sewn costumes, an array of music that combines traditional work songs, gospel music, Motown, classical, and jazz, as well as a live choir. The choreography brings it all together as the company’s dancers depict the cultural heritage of the Gullah and Geechee communities depicted in Green’s paintings.
