RED is an evening length ensemble work by Anna Maynard of improvisation and image making inspired by Anne Carson’s Autobiography of Red, Sara Ahmed’s writing on orientation in Queer Phenomenology, and Susan Sgorbati’s research and practices in Emergent Improvisation.

Working through contemplative composition and live improvisation, dancers and musicians build and dissolve scenes in real time, listening for what emerges between bodies, gestures, sound, and the changing attention of the room.

Narrative gathers through image, tone, rhythm, proximity, and relationship, exploring movement toward one another, the loss of bearings, and transformation through contact.

Each performance becomes a living world, intimate, apophatic, and alive.

RED will be performed November 1 and 2, 2026 at The Fruit as part of the Durham Fringe Festival. For tickets, click here.
