'OCTAVIA' indicates maturing of Staycee Pearl group

Post Gazette: It's always rewarding to watch a young company take a quantum leap forward. Such was the case with Staycee Pearl dance project, just halfway into its second year and unveiling "OCTAVIA" at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater last weekend.
The title refers to Octavia Butler, a MacArthur Foundation "Genius" grant awardee and best known as a science fiction writer. But the author was more than that to Ms. Pearl, who immersed herself in Ms. Butler's writings for nearly 20 years.
