Welcome to Red, an immersive dance performance for 12–36-month-olds and their families. Developed through creative research sessions with very young children, this performance explores the big, bold experience of toddlerhood through joyful chaos and rough-and-tumble play. Performers and audience members dance together, co-creating a world that is unequivocally Red.

What can caregivers expect when they bring their family to Red?

• Red is approximately 35 minutes long and is designed specifically for children aged 12 to 36 months. Family members of all ages are welcome to join alongside children in this age range.
• At the start of the show, performers greet families in the lobby and assist them in entering the performance space. A designated area will be available for strollers, diaper bags, and other belongings. After the show, performers also help families transition back into their day.
• Children are encouraged to fully experience the performance. We welcome all types of responses in the space, including laughing, crying, talking, making noise, moving, and dancing.
• Floor seating is provided for all audience members, but children are not required to stay in their seats. They are invited to explore the space and move freely with the performers.
• Red features one live musician and two dancers. Each performance is limited to 25 audience members, ensuring that families have the time and space to connect with the performers.

All patrons wishing to attend Red, must have a ticket regardless of their age. Please be sure to purchase tickets for every member of your family who will be in attendance. 

This production is made possible with support from the Herberger Research Council, Mesa Arts Center, and the Children’s Museum of Phoenix.

Lead Artists: Amanda Pintore, Olivia Herneddo, and Jisun Myung
