Green performed in Ode a work by the Miami-born choreographer Jamar Roberts that premeriered in 2019 with the subject matter of gun violence and its effects. The Observer praised both Roberts and Green for Ode stating that the work was "strengthened by the presence of Jacqueline Green in the central role—tall, strong, commanding yet modest, she has emerged as the company’s star. You can’t keep your eyes off her, and you find yourself speculating on how she can expand her range." A reviewer at the Financial Times also lauded Roberts' Ode and described Green as "bewitching."
