VIP is a visionary collective of artists, creators, and performers obsessed with evolving arts relationships within our communities. This performance is a journey of manifestation and reinvention – finding family with whom we cultivate community. A carnival of black joy and existence. An auditory experience filled with a set of music, conversation, storytelling and love.
Brittany Mellerson – With a BFA in Theatrical Lighting and Sound Design from Point Park University’s Conservatory Program, Brittany is a multi hyphenate designer/director with a focus in sharing black stories and cathartic experiences.
