The author reads from his biography, Garcia: An American Life. a Tania is a flamenco dancer who is not content to string together a number of individual solos and end the Levening with a communal tablao. Her programs are con- structed along thematic lines - such as the show she did a few years ago, when she presented flamenco as seen through its African and Middle Eastern roots. A powerful, at times severe, performer, she is intriguing to watch as she pushes traditional forms in the direction of even greater dra- matic, sometimes almost filmic, impact. Her newest piece, Passage of the Muse, is built on the canto jondo -- the blues of flamenco; it is inspired by memories of her child- hood in Andalusia, where she shared a passion for Gypsy culture with her painter grandmother Judith Diem. Dancing with La Tania in this evocation of roots is longtime partner Andrés Marin, whose defiance onstage at times seems to be as much inspired by rock culture as by Iberian values. Flamenco Nuevo may have been born in Spain, but with La Tania, it is thriving in the Bay Area. Fri.-Sat, 8 p.m.; Sun., 7p.m., 700 Howard, S.F. $18-$24. (415) 978-ARTS.
