Works for stage include Jupiter's Lifeless Moons (PSNY 2018) and Bird In The House (La MaMa 2015, Under The Radar Festival 2016).

Performed by Fumihiro Kikuchi, Jonathan Matthews, Richard Scandola. Original Music by Philip Butta. Set Design by Valerie Green.man/Mother is an all-male trio, which composes three separately made solos to original music by Philip Butta. The solos translate emotions, specifically connected to each dancer’s experience of the global COVID-19 pandemic, into movement initiated from emotionally resonant bodily regions. The dancers maintain a separateness of focus with a simultaneously intense awareness of each other in space, as well as a deep reliance on one another for timing - quite literally together while apart. A thick branch, suspended down stage center, makes its way into each of the three physical trails. Both an obstacle and a comfort, it confronts us with hard truths that demand reflection and action. Why would mother nature create such an affliction? What have we done as humans to contribute to bringing it into being? How can we mend our fragmented relationship with that which made us?Bio: Valerie Green has been an active dancer, choreographer and teacher in the New York City dance community since 1995. She created her own company, Dance Entropy in 1998, adding a permanent company home in 2005 called Green Space. To date Ms. Green has created 41 dances and 10 evening-length works. Her choreography has been seen throughout NYC and has also toured to various venues throughout the US. Internationally, Green has toured to Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Canada, Colombia, Croatia, France, Georgia, Greece, Guatemala, India, Italy, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden, and Cuba both as VG/DE’s artistic director and an individual teaching and performing artist. As a teacher, Green integrated classical modern technique with her own somatic based movement practice to develop an individualized style called Dance Your Frame. She also leads movement workshops for non-dance populations rooted in the philosophy that all bodies can benefit from dance.
