This
week sees me eschew sunshine for deep dark spaces in the bowels of
Contact; the rumblings of Lucy McCormick's choreography is thundering
just above my head as we gear up for the opening of Works Ahead (today Fri 3+ tomorrow Sat 4 Jun). In a full building takeover, Compact Edition takes you from bottom to top of this capacious building for two very intimate experiences with Terri Donovan and Afreena Islam; while Evening Edition occupies both performance spaces for an unexpected and possibly incendiary double bill from Top Joe and Lucy McCormick.
Elsewhere, on Sun 5 Jun you can catch Victoria Melody's Hair Peace at Slung Low's HUB in Leeds; or if you are in the Lakes, catch AND Festival's Workshops in People’s Homes, programmed by Joshua Sofaer with Sue Thurley’s The Holy Grain on Sun 5 June and Di Larfynn’s Come As You Are on Wed 8 Jun.
NEAT16 also continues in Nottingham (until 12 June) including Michael Pinchbeck, Cloudcuckoolanders, Rachael Young and video performance from Gob Squad; plus a full programme of dance, courtesy of Dance4 - including Leila MacMillan and Lucy Suggate.
Coming up next week (w/c 6 Jun) is Sophie Willan's On Record at the Lowry (Fri 10+ Sat 11 Jun), RITE at Islington Mill (Fri 10 Jun) and Unfinished Business + Baba Israel's The Spinning Wheel at Contact (Sat 11 Jun).
The following week (w/c 13 Jun) look out for Jamal Gerald at Bradford Theatre in the Mill; Proto-type Theater at the HUB, Leeds and Re:Con's Unexpected Items audio tour in Bury Market.
The ceiling soundtrack has shifted from Lionel Richie to Boogie Wonderland, which I think might be my cue that there's a run about to happen. Please do join us tonight or tomorrow in a basement or a theatre space at Contact to see the outcomes of all this at Works Ahead.
