Chris Green

Chris M. Green’s puppetry, music and stage designs have appeared over the past 15 years at venues ranging from the Philadelphia Museum of Art to Taiwan’s legendary Gu-Ling Street Theater. Full theater commissions include Lyubo (2005) and Tin Lightning (2007). Green founded Chris Green Kinetics (CGK), a design collective creating interactive installations with partners including the Peabody Essex Museum and Disney Imagineering. Green’s first project with CGK was Noah’s Ark, which was featured at the Skirball Cultural Center in LA, and he was also commissioned by the School Construction Authority to create public artwork in partnership with HOK Architects. Green completes an annual artist residency in Ft. Worth, TX, installing art in the public realm. Recently, Green completed a commission with Little Orchestra Society to re-stage Stravinksy’s Firebird for Lincoln Center. Green has received awards from the American Association of Museums, Themed Entertainment Association and the American Institute of Architects and grants from TCG/ITI and the Jim Henson Foundation.
