FLOWERZ is a dance and sound performance venturing back to when both Staycee and Herman Pearl spent years involved in the New York house music scene. Herman worked on the production side while Staycee spent much of her free time from the dance studio in the clubs and loft parties of that era. Through exploration and celebration, STAYCEE PEARL dance project & Soy Sos (SPdp&SS) takes audiences through an evening-in-the-life of party goers experiencing an evening in music and movement.

The Kelly Strayhorn Theater and the August Wilson African American Cultural Center will be co-presenting SPdp&SS in CIRCLES: going in, to be performed at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center October 28-30th. CIRCLES: going in continues the celebration of Black Culture with the focus on the creativity and joy of the Black Woman.
