Hello! I’m Nathan Green. You rock for being here. Welcome to my portfolio.

I’m a director, currently residing in Chicago, IL. I co-founded an ensemble-based theater company called Fish and Bicycle Theatre in Atlanta. Then I worked at Actors Theatre of Louisville for a year before making it to Chicago by way of Cape Cod, MA, where Fish and Bicycle was living out a bizarre social & artistic experiment… There are links to galleries of shows I have directed on the right.

As far as theater goes, I’m interested in:

1. theater that is/becomes an event/adventure for the audience
2. ensemble-generated/devised work
3. new technology/human computer interaction/the internet in the experience of live events
4. new ways to use classic texts
5. the physically impossible
6. communal rocking out
7. awesome storytelling
8. combinations of all that

I’m also a musician. I play guitar in a funk/soul band called Funky Hot Grits. I studied classical and jazz guitar in college, as well as computer music composition. I sang bass in choirs. I played caixa in a Brazilian Samba group. I played kempul in an Indonesian Gamelan. But before all that I played in a world beat band sponsored by Peter Gabriel. Before that I played in a rock band. So I’ve posted some music from way-back-when. There’s a link on the right.

Please enjoy the stuff I’ve put up on the site. Let me know what you think.

Also, check out the blog I created detailing the creation of Charles Mee’s Under Construction (a show I worked on) directed by Anne Bogart, created and peformed by the SITI Company at the Humana Festival of New American Plays 2009.
