Commenting on the project, Mintesinot Wolde said,” ‘See You In The Green’ dance piece was finalised at the Roscommon Art Centre in December 2020 when lockdown restrictions were reduced. Roscommon Art Centre provided a beautiful space and resources, and the support from Creative Ireland and Roscommon County Council allowed me to have the time to finalise the dance piece, to bring my thoughts and visions of the dance piece to life. Additionally, the support opened opportunities to collaborate with local and international artists who worked in different professions in the project such as independent film maker, dancers, musicians, singers, and a light designer.

Although the lockdown measures brought challenges but helped me to create a different and effective way to work with the cast remotely. I worked with the production manager and with the cast members remotely on daily Zoom calls with musicians and singers; and initially with the dancers to share my thoughts, plans, and ideas on my vision of the dance piece and what element I am looking for from each artist to play their part in the project. Ultimately, it was a challenging process but a blessing to have the support to be able to create and finalise the dance piece in these uncertain times.”
