Dance: Reflection

MARY BRENNAN August 05 2004


Fri Aug 6 to Mon 16 and Wed 25 to Mon 30, 10.45pm (not Tue), Aurora Nova @ St Stephen's (Venue 8), £10 (£8), 0131 558 3853

Dip a toe into the dance scene – and sample the delights at Aurora Nova – with a solo piece inspired by the Creation myth. Tanya Khabarova is a familiar figure thanks to many appearances with award-winning Russian company, Derevo. A tiny, mercurial and quite magical presence, the elfin Khabarova now goes it alone – a treat for anyone who's previously been amazed and charmed by her particular blend of innocence, friskiness and poignancy. Her show is one of 10 attractions from eight countries at a venue whose line-up always creates a stir.
