<p>In this scathing parody of TV talk shows and celebrity  worship, Blanca Li zaps her way through a series of performance sketches  in which she appears as the hostess and invited guests, including an  aging folk hippie, a pseudo-intellectual modern dancer, an  over-achieving gymnast, a Brittany folk dancer, and many more. A  hilarious tour de force by an ex-gymnast and flamenco dancer, trained at  the Martha Graham and Alvin Ailey schools.</p>

She is on her way to becoming one of the greats.</em>&raquo;</p>
