&
Tiffany Merritt-Brown
Tender is the Night
about
Gold Pylon by Jade Charon is an inquiry into the possibilities of a grandmother’s
prayer becoming an intercessory superpower and gateway to a higher self. Charon’s ongoing
multi-media research project series Gold was created to emPOWER Black and Brown people by
connecting them to the element gold’s spiritual, metaphysical, and ancestral powers through
dance, film, sound, and writing. This latest event in the series is a live multimedia performance
solo that journeys through the refining and purification process of gold, reaching for the gateway of the higher self.
Tender is the Night by Tiffany Merritt-Brown is an immersive dance work exploring Black
femininity and the intimate kinship that shapes sisterhood, revealing how strength, vulnerability,
and compassion emerge through collective care.
