Tiffany Merritt-Brown, a native of Miami, Florida, is a choreographer, performer, scholar, and educator. She holds a B.F.A. in Dance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an M.F.A. in Dance & Social Justice from the University of Texas-Austin.  As a daughter of the Atlantic and the Caribbean Ocean, Tiffany engages in scholarly and choreographic research that critically explores the socio-political ramifications of identity and its impact on BIPOC communities. She uses dance as a conduit to re-imagine and re-envision Black futures from a Millennial perspective. Her work is rooted in utilizing Black Feminist Epistemologies, Black Radical Imagination, and Black culture to create new realities that can be applied in the present moment.

She is an alumna of the Jacob’s Pillow Ann & Weston Hicks Choreographers Fellows Program and a co-founder of the Florida Black Dance Artists Organization.
