Word of Warning...
Still
reeling a little from an intensive week in the dark for Works Ahead,
it's just dawned on me that it's MAY already, there's the small matter
of an election and there's no time to kick back, as WoW is off again
with the tour de force that is
Christopher Brett Bailey's This Is How We Die, on Tue 5 + Wed 6 May at Contact.
Before that, still to come this weekend: tonight, Fri 1 May,
Sleep Dogs' The Bullet and the Bass Trombone is at the Royal Exchange Studio and
Eggs Collective Get A Round is at Bradford's Theatre in The Mill. Tomorrow, Saturday 2 May there's a sharing of
Unfinished Business's Change My Mind project at Contact. Leeds has
Transform 2015 at WYP, Leeds (30 April - 2 May) with w-i-p showings including Chris Goode, Invisible Flock and RashDash
The following week (w/c 4 May) is hectic again. Manchester is pretty dominated by
Flying Solo (5-9 May) at Contact, of course with the aforementioned
Christopher Brett Bailey's This Is How We Die, plus another chance to see
thevacuumcleaner's Mental. There are also intriguing contributions from
Louise Orwin and
Jamie Lewis-Hadley, Cheryl Martin, Jackie Hagan and more. Elsewhere, there's also
Jennifer Willet's Monday's Scrapbook performance installation at Media City, Salford.
Election week meanwhile also brings the U-decide Festival to Unity, Liverpool including:
Jess Thom's Backstage in Biscuit Land on Tue 5 May,
Chris Thorpe's Confirmation on Wed 6 May,
Daniel Bye's Unheard Party on Thu 7 May, and
Coney's Early Days (of a Better Nation) on Fri 8 May. Live at LICA, as part of
OPEN15, similarly has political commentary in the shape of
Andy Smith's The Preston Bill on Thu 7 May.
The
following week brings a bit of calm (though possibly a new government!),
but Bradford's Theatre in the Mill has Ellie Harrison and collaborators
and the Manchester galleries host Manchester After Hours, including
CFCCA's Li Binyuan's Deathless Love.
