Rosie Kay whips 30 minutes of dance into soft, perky peaks. At the beginning she is on a table, but soon jumps down, to dart and swing through her birthday and a love affair with shy, modern Daniel Yamada. He comes with a baking kit and makes a cake. She teases. They mask each other with yolk and flour, and kiss; she keeps an unbroken egg in her mouth for some time.
Kay is a delight, and her athletic choreography (with strong Merce Cunningham links) feels just right in Edinburgh's beautiful new Dance Base building. The piece takes an intimate, gently humorous peek at urban life; an evocative soundtrack (fairground meets Hammond organ) adds a cherry to this cake.
The second half of this double bill, TV Dinner by Smallpetitklein, is less assured. It tackles big subjects - female loneliness and the fragility of the mind - but Thomas Small's choreography is laboured with heavy, crawling movements. Three dancers (Small among them) attempt to weave a pattern of failed relationships around the central character but nothing seems to connect to the original ideas. According to the programme notes, the central character is deranged and in despair, but the piece fails to elicit any insight into her predicament.
