Collaborative, Exuberant Dance Theatre
Live at The Pavilion presents Green Chair Dance Group.


Since its inception, Green Chair has been a uniquely collaborative project, and continually seeks to choreograph highly original movement with a focus on interpersonal relationships, intense physicality, and humor.Green Chair's athletic and engaging movement style exposes both the limits and surprising capabilities of the body in motion. Grounded in the banalities and complications of everyday life but charging headfirst into the unexpected, the company's dances stand perspective on its head and offer a fresh look at how, exactly, we move through the world.

The work in Play Ground is an expression of the insightful ways these six artists use color, scale, sound, texture, humor, fear, storytelling and performance as their own artistic playground, coming up with new modes of expression and creating experiences meant to delight and provoke visitors.
