Valerie Hemingway, secretary and daughter-in-law to the man himself, reminisces about Papa and Cuba, but you can't help wishing that a native Cuban was giving the insight.

1 Aug–25 Aug 9.30 C Soco Urban Garden, Edinburgh
The Factory
Date Location
Bristol-based company Precarious return with another uncompromising piece of cutting-edge dance. A little bit Big Brother, a little bit George Orwell,'The Factory' fuses physical theatre and multimedia work to take a timely look at contemporary consumerism. Unfortunately, it comes across as earnest, too long and pompous. 'Part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe*
3 Aug–25 Aug 8.30 Zoo Southside, Edinburgh
The Judgement of Paris

Saucy, gilded reinterpretation that uses Baroque dance and can can to turn the Greek myth into a meditation on femininity. 'Part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe'

The !Gubi Family: Participatory Outdoor Dance

22 Aug 8.00 Universal Hall, Findhorn
A Night at the Movies
Date Location
Faithful, loving recreations of famous scenes from classic Hollywood movies like 'Casablanca' and 'From Here to Eternity', reinterpreted in dance. Enjoyable familiar, but never much more than pale imitations of the originals. 'Part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe'
1 Aug–25 Aug 7.15 C, Edinburgh
Phantomysteria
Date Location
Pyrotechnic-laden performance set on a doomed planet. It's uncomfortable and exhausting to witness, and yet it will haunt you. 'Part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe'
5 Aug–25 Aug 10.00 Old College Quad, Edinburgh
Polaris

Poignant Czech mime piece about two men lost in the Antarctic. The performers' versatile and expressive characterisations demonstrate the potential of mime as a serious dramatic genre, and are in danger of giving the form a good name. 'Part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe'
3 Aug–25 Aug 6.35 The Zoo, Edinburgh
Spirit of the Samurai
Date Location
Samurai swordplay from the 'Kill Bill*'s fight choreographer. The fighting itself is initially impressive, but the pace of the whole show lags with too many comic skits and slower dance numbers. One for the hardcore Tarantino or Manga fans. 'Part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe'

Ericht Scottish Country Dance Club
Date Location
Scottish country dance.
