In this month’s PearlArts Round-Up, we’re sharing a recent interview by True T Pittsburgh of contemporary dancer Joy-Marie Thompson. Joy-Marie and collaborator Sherah Shipman were PearlDiving Movement Resident Artists in Spring 2019 developing a new work called “LINKt: A Dance Film”. This month’s recommended read comes from our co-executive and artistic director Staycee Pearl and explores the latest on LINKt and representation of queer, black artists today.
