warnmcr: it's all a bit queer


Word of Warning...

With Word of Warning's Spring 2014 season print now hitting the streets (we choose to call it moss green), we feel fully geared up to face the season...and if you believe that you'll believe anything... but before we kick off on 18 Feb here's the usual round-up of what's happening within reach of Manchester.

The week ahead, sees Contact kick off its season with Queer Contact(6-15 Feb). First up is Joey Arias & Kristian Hoffman's Lightning Strikes; also of interest may be Shortcuts 1 and 2 and Opera North's collaboration with the Tiger Lilies.

Further afield there's Flexer & Sandiland's Weightless on Wed 5 Feb at Live at LICA, Lancaster, Proto-type Theatre's The Good, The God and The Guillotine at Axis, Crewe (coming to Word of Warning/Contact Manchester 18 Feb) and Geddes Loom's Prelude to a Number at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford (7/8 Feb - also coming to the Lowry on 13 Feb). 

The following week (w/c 10 Feb) also sees Tim Crouch + Andy Smith at Axis, Crewe; LEAP's Love Letters... in Lancaster; the first Tales of Whatever of the year (at Gullivers); and Hofesh Schechter at Blackpool Grand. 

Finally, a quick reminder that you can support all those pitching for support at Re:Play's Pitch Party tonight, Fri 31 Jan at the Lowry.

Until next week...

warnmcr: Spring 2014 at Word of Warning


Word of Warning... here we go again!

So finally, after a small speedbump last week, Word of Warning's Spring 2014 programme is now online! This season you’ll mainly find us ensconced in Contact: kicking off the pre-Easter run on 18 Feb with the return of Proto-type Theater; followed by a series of highly varied one-handers as part of Contact's Flying Solo Festival including Rachel Mars, Kindle Theatre, Sylvia Rimat, Jo Bannon and Victoria Melody and her scene-stealing basset hound, Major Tom; rounding off with the florally fragrant Two Destination Language and the return of Turn. For those feeling deprived of the special touch of Word of Warning at Z-arts - on 26 Feb we're also trying out a brand new space in the building — the newly equipped STUN Studio - with a double bill on ageing, featuring Manchester’s own Nicki Hobday + Sara Cocker and Forest Fringe’s Ira Brand.

Before we get to all that, however, next week sees Motionhouse's Broken on 28 + 29  and Re:Play's Pitch Party on Fri 31 Jan both at the Lowry.  The marvellous Stacy Makishi's The Falsettos also returns to the North West, to Live at LICA, Lancaster on Thu 30 Jan.

Looking ahead, to the first week of Feb, there's Flexer & Sandiland at Live at LICA, Proto-type Theatre at Axis, Crewe (coming to Manchester 18 Feb) and Queer Contact kicks off at Contact (funnily enough) - don't miss the Joey Arias & Kristian Hoffman's Lightning Strikes ticket offer (quote SNL1979 and check out Klaus Nomi!)

Until next week...

warnmcr: back to life...


Word of Warning - Happy 2014

So it's a new year and a new season and it feels like we, at Word of Warning are slowly dredging ourselves out from the dark winter sludge!  Around us the green shoots of activity seem to be starting to poke through - so this is a bit of an interim heads-up before things really gear up in earnest.

First up, if you fancy a bit of dance, tonight, Fri 17 January at Z-arts is State of Emergency's Love & Sex, and on Thu 23 Jan, also at Z-arts, the launch of Dance Manchester's Homegrown - featuring Company Chameleon, Joseph While, Shona Roberts, Joseph Lau and Hannah Buckley. (and while I'm focused on dance - today is deadline day for Turn 2014 so, dancemakers, if you want to put a proposal in you've got til 5pm!)

On the live art front, tomorrow, Sat 18 January 4-9pm, at Darwin House, Leeds Valley Park is Vantage 3, Live Art Edition featuring eight pieces of work by Lowri Evans and Lindsay Bennett amongst others.

Meanwhile, next week, over in Sheffield, Third Angel's The Life And Loves Of A Nobody is at The Crucible (21-25 Jan). 

For the more theatrically disposed have a look at the Library Theatre Company's Re:Play Festival, on at The Lowry from 20 Jan - 5 Feb

I'll be back next week with more of a look ahead, particularly to our own Word of Warning season - but if you want to forewarn yourselves with what's coming up across the region the WoW Google calendar is taking shape.

In the interim, our friends at Queer Contact have come up with a special WoW £10 advance ticket offer (normally £15) for Joey Arias & Kristian Hoffman's Lightning Strikes on Thu 6 Feb. Available until midnight 5 Feb online or via 01612740600  using code: SNL1979. For those of us who remember the more experimental edges of the 80's - it's a celebration of Klaus Nomi and for those who don't know who I'm talking about, he's well worth YouTubing!

Until next week...

warnmcr: addendum...Giving in to Gift



Word of Warning

Aside from thanking the lovely Stacy Makishi and our lovely final audience of the year, there's not really enough to say for a full Word of Warning mailer, hence just this blog/tweet/facebook thingy!

But I did say I'd give a mention to a couple of things that have crept onto my horizon for this weekend (6-8 Dec_)... Tim Jeeves's Giving in to Gift weekend is upon us with The Kindness of Strangers, If You're Not Paying and Generosities in Economy at various venues in Liverpool .  LEAP have a Homemade First Friday at Ludus Dance in Lancaster, tonight and The Festival of Light is on in Huddersfield this weekend too. Plus if you're really keen for a day-out there's a Hatch double bill at New Art Exchange in Nottingham, featuring Drunken Chorus and Wolf Close on Sunday.

Reminders for the already mentioned: First Floor Theatre's Our Front Room (til 7 Dec) and Mother's Ruin (tonight Fri 6 Dec) both courtesy of Contact and Yorkshire Dance's Arrivals/Departures in Leeds on Fri 6 and Sat 7 December.  Uncanny Theatre's Instructions for a Better Life is at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford (6+7 Dec). Beyond that, also in Bradford, there's Jane Wakeman Company's The Wake (10-14 Dec) and the last Tales of Whatever of the year at The Castle on Wed 11 December. 

I know I said it before, but I think this will be the last Word for the year... but it could be a famous last word..!

warnmcr: Aloha Manchester


Word of Warning

We, at Word of Warning, busy gearing up to welcome the marvellous Stacy Makishi. Whilst we can't promise meatballs or the mob, we are plotting some Hawaiian-inspired frivolity as a post-show, end of season festivity. 

Stacy Makishi's The Falsettos at Z-arts, tonight, Fri 29 Nov and this is your last chance to grab a bargain double-ticket (£15/8) for that and Bryony Kimmings's Credible, Likeable Superstar Role Model at Contact on Sat 30 Nov as the offer closes today at 5pm. 
For a full-on Saturday experience, join our friends The Larks at Contact from 5pm.

Elsewhere, tonight Fri 29 Nov,  Third Angel's The Life and Loves of A Nobody (work in progress) is at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford and in Stockport Rachel Dean's Nativity is at St Mary's Church.

Looking ahead into December, things are starting to quieten down.  Contact has First Floor Theatre's Our Front Room (4-7 Dec) and Mother's Ruin (Fri 6 Dec).

For the dance-oriented, not to be missed is Yorkshire Dance's Arrivals/Departures in Leeds on Fri 6 and Sat 7 December, with European inspired work by Moreno Solinas/Moreno + Igor, Jordan Massarella, Riccardo Meneghini, Carlos Pons Guerra and more. 

Uncanny Theatre's Instructions for a Better Life is at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford on Fri 6 Dec; and on Sat 7 Dec. Beyond that, also in Bradford, there's Jane Wakeman Company's The Wake (10-14 Dec) and the last Tales of Whatever of the year at The Castle on Wed 11 December... after which I'm not sure that there's a vast amount to talk of apart from panto.

So, this may be our final Word of Warning of the year unless we spot something we've monumentally missed or get excited by! Aside from that, WoW will be back sometime in January as the new season gets into its swing.

Really hoping to see loads of you tonight at Z-arts to give this, our second full year of Word of Warning a rousing send-off with the lovely Stacy Makishi otherwise see you all in 2014!

warnmcr: feisty females...


Word of Warning

I'm reeling a bit from our domestic excesses - not leaving the place that you live for 2 weeks does funny things to you - but a huge thanks to artists, audiences and volunteers alike.

Still to come this week is Spectacle is at the Media Factory, Preston, tonight Fri 22 Nov - and PGB's They Never Let Me Play at Contact tonight and tomorrow (though I've heard rumbles that it may be sold out.)

Next week (w/c 25 Nov) in Manchester, Word of Warning is back in action with our season closer: Stacy Makishi's The Falsettos at Z-arts on Fri 29 Nov. For a double-fix of feisty females, team that with Bryony Kimmings's Credible, Likeable Superstar Role Model at Contact on Saturday 30 Nov with a bargain double-ticket (£15/8)... plus join in The Larks larking about from 5pm on Sat 30th, also at Contact.  And, whilst I don't normally mention exhibitions, just a quick word for former DooCot member, Nenagh Watson's DEADpuppet at Z-arts from Mon 25 Nov.     

Elsewhere, Laila Diallo's Hold Everything Dear is at Live at LICA on Tue 26 Nov; Third Angel's The Life and Loves of A Nobody (work in progress) is at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford on Fri 29th, and also on Fri 29th in Stockport at St Mary's Church is Rachel Dean's Nativity.

Looking ahead into December, things are starting to quieten down, but there's Mother's Ruin at Contact;  Uncanny Theatre in Bradford and J.Fergus Evans at the Duke's, Lancaster.

My final word of warning, therefore is to get out and see stuff now, before the slow creep of xmas erases culture from the map... chiefly of course, join us at our end of season blow-out with the marvellous Ms Makishi.

warnmcr: domestic bliss

Word of Warning

With slight trepidation after last week's multiple technology gremlins, here goes with this week's Word of Warning!

Very last call to join me at home, for the final weekend of Domestic this Sat 16 and Sun 17 Nov at Cooper House.  There are still spaces left for the very charming Greg Wohead's I like the way you wear your hair and you can team that with a pair of individual experiences: Jo Bannon's Exposure and Small Acts Shower Scenes plus Alex Bradley + Scott Smith's Field Test in Garageland is ongoing. J. Fergus Evans's My heart is hitch-hiking down Peach Tree Street has literally one or two available tickets on Sunday. We strongly advise booking online before the end of today, though you can sign up for any remaining spaces and returns in person on the day(s) at our lovely garage box office. For ticket enquiries on the day call 0758 129 9439.

Beyond my tower block domain life goes on, and in Liverpool Two Destination Language + Natasha Davis are at The Capstone, Liverpool Hope University tonight Fri 15th; and West Yorkshire Playhouse's Furnace is on Fri 15 and Sat 16 Nov.

Saturday 16th is generally busy - in Liverpool, Affront is at Homotopia and House of Suarez:Vogue-Deco at the Bluecoat; whilst in Yorkshire Stan's Cafe's The Anatomy of Melancholy is at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford, and closer to home Kieran Hurley's Beats is at Contact.

Next week, (w/c 18 Nov) the lavishly eccentric Levantes Dance Theatre's Two Peas Without A Pod is at the Rose Theatre, Edgehill University on Mon 18 Nov;  Stan's Cafe's The Anatomy of Melancholy is at Live at LICA, Tue 19 + Wed 20 Nov, Lancaster; and Spectacle is at the Media Factory, Preston on Fri 22 Nov.
Closer to home PGB's They Never Let Me Play is at Contact on Fri 22 and Sat 23 Nov.

The following week (w/c 25 Nov) sees Laila Diallo at Live at LICA; Third Angel in a work in progress at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford and our stablemates The Larks gaming at Contact.  Word of Warning springs back into life for its final outing of the season with Stacy Makishi's The Falsettos at Z-arts.  Combine that with Bryony Kimmings at Contact on the Saturday with a bargain double-ticket (£15/8).

It's all very well getting 1/4 ton of potatoes onto the 8th floor and worth it for the hot coals effect but figuring out getting them out again - that's another matter.  I'm off back to my glamorous life!

warnmcr: domestic dramas continue...corrected!

Word of

Correction: Oops so the game's up, I can't actually time travel. I do write these in advance and schedule them, but the gremlins of technology have chosen to send this week's WoW out a day early... so for anything saying tonight on the first mailer read tomorrow etc - or see corrected version below!



And so, with a car park full of twinkling fairy lights, a quarter of a ton of potatoes and fifty peaches on order, we are holding our breath to kick off Domestic tomorrow night.  Lyn Gardners's lovely Guardian Guide preview didn't take account of the fact that, shockingly, not everyone knows the well-known Manchester arts venue: Cooper House... so here's a clue, it's a red brick block of flats, a stone's throw from the RNCM, between Trinity High School and the Gamecock pub!

Fri 8 + Sat 9 Nov we start with Alex Bradley + Scott Smith's Field Test in Garageland, Small Acts Shower Scenes and the vacuum cleaner's Mental (sold out). Continuing next week with a brand new piece Leentje Van de Cruys's Kitsch'n Sink (Thu 14 + Fri 15 Nov), then Sat 16 + Sun 17 Nov sees a pairing of J. Fergus Evans's My heart is hitch-hiking down Peach Tree Street and Greg Wohead's I like the way you wear your hair plus Jo Bannon's Exposure (with Field Test and Shower Scenes continuing).  For ticket enquiries on the day call 0758 129 9439.

In my frantically domesticated mind, there is no life beyond the perimeter of my home, but unbelievably elsewhere the world goes on! In Liverpool Homotopia has Rosana Cade's Walking Holding, a Triple Dance Bill and David Hoyle (all Sat 9 Nov). 

The coming week (w/c 11 Nov) continues to be busy round the region, with Sleepwalk Collective's Amusements (plus Paul O'Donnell's So Far West) on Wed 13 + Thu 14th, at Axis, Crewe; Every House Has Its Door's Testimonium at Live at LICA also on Wed 13th; Two Destination Language + Natasha Davis at The Capstone, Liverpool Hope University on Fri 15th and West Yorkshire Playhouse's Furnace is on Fri 15 and Sat 16 Nov.

Saturday 16th is generally busy - in Liverpool, Affront is at Homotopia and House of Suarez:Vogue-Deco at the Bluecoat; whilst  in Yorkshire Stan's Cafe's The Anatomy of Melancholy is at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford, and closer to home Kieran Hurley's Beats is at Contact.

Coming up the following week (w/c 18 Nov) is one of our last ever Method Lab commissions - Levantes Dance Theatre's Two Peas Without A Pod at Edgehill University (they're also showing work with students on 13+14th);  Stan's Cafe at Live at LICA; Spectacle at the Media Factory, Preston and PGB at Contact.

Back to the housework...in reality to take delivery of the potatoes... hoping to see you at our very own 'at home'!

warnmcr: having a domestic


Word of Warning...

Welcome to November, dark nights, loud bangs, bright flashes, and when, with keys newly in my hot little hand, we look forward to moving into the Domestic flats... I see a weekend of household chores ahead!

Tonight, meanwhile, Forced Entertainment's All Tomorrow's Parties continues at Contact followed by a rehearsed reading of And Night Follows Day on the afternoon of Sat 2 Nov. 

Next week (w/c 4 Nov) Axis Arts Centre is busy with GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN's Number 1, the Plaza on Tues 5 Nov and Florence Peake's Make on Thurs 7 Nov, while Company Chameleon's double bill Eden + The Pictures We Make is at Live at LICA, Lancaster on Weds 6th.

Over in Liverpool, worth checking out at Homotopia are: Joseph Mercier's Of Saints and Go-go Boys (Wed 6); Dickie Beau's  Lost in Trans (Wed 6 + Thu 7) Rosana Cade's Walking Holding, a Triple Dance Bill and David Hoyle (all on Sat 9 Nov).   Also in Liverpool, a new space to us,  the Lantern, has Nostalgia>>2012 on Tues 7 Nov followed, on Wed 8 Nov by Lena Simic's 1994 (a hÅb/WoW commission). 

MUCH closer to home, in Manchester, Domestic kicks off at Cooper House (M15 6DX) on Fri 8th + Sat 9 Nov with three pieces: Alex Bradley + Scott Smith's Field Test in Garageland (we're only saying by appointment so we know to let you in - you can just ring the box office phone on arrival too!), Small Acts Shower Scenes (yes you get to take a shower, but really, honestly there's NO ONE watching  and it's a really gentle experience - I'm a wuss and I've done it) and the, the vacuum cleaner's Mental (unfortunately already sold out).

Domestic continues the following week with Leentje Van de Cruys's Kitsch'n Sink (Thu 14 + Fri 15 Nov), then our big weekend of Sat 16 + Sun 17 Nov sees a pairing of J. Fergus Evans's My heart is hitch-hiking down Peach Tree Street and Greg Wohead's I like the way you wear your hair plus Jo Bannon's Exposure (with Field Test and Shower Scenes continuing).

Elsewhere, the week of 11 Nov continues to be busy round the region, with Kieran Hurley's Beats at Contct; Sleepwalk Collective at Axis, Crewe; Every House Has Its Door at Live at LICA; Two Destination Language + Natasha Davis at The Capstone, Liverpool Hope; Affront at Homotopia; Vogue-Deco at the Bluecoat; Stan's Cafe at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford.

I'm off to clean a flat, or three (such a glamorous life) and look forward to welcoming you home...
