In many ways, this Episode is our attempt to engage with Fred’s incredible writing: with his proposal that all black performance (culture, politics, sexuality, identity, and blackness itself) is improvisation.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
