Other gigs include Bar Wotever, GFest (Cochrane Theatre), Express Excess, Farrago Poetry, Soho Theatre (sponsored by Oxford Playhouse), The Arches, Queer Mutiny, Aye Write!

Lily, “The Pearl of Havana”, is a professional dancer, performer and dance instructor. With 22 years of training and performance, she can teach you any Cuban dance style, with a unique flavour of her own. Lily’s knowledge of ballet, contemporary and Afro-Cuban dance contribute to a beautifully integrated performance. Lily is also co-creator of Somos Cubanos.
Anna Urbanowska was born in Elblag, Poland. She is currently studying film at Edinburgh College of Art, with a focus on experimental shorts, music videos and drama.
