Word of Warning... This season really is proving to be a bit feast or famine... this week has been a brimming cornucopia (very cheesey metaphor, sorry) while next week supplies are a bit thin on the ground. Note to all of us programming stuff - we really do need to get our heads together more! A recap of tonight and tomorrow sees Dickie Beau's Blackouts: Twilights of the Idols continue at Contact, Manchester, Volcano's L.O.V.E at the Unity, Liverpool (Thurs 15- Sat 17 Nov) , Invisible Flock's Distant Threads at the LBT, Huddersfield both Fri/Sat and GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN's Big Hits at The Carriageworks, Leeds just Sat 17 Nov. Also, tonight at the Rose Theatre, Edgehill is a collaboration between Eleni Edipidi of Levantes Dance Theatre and third year students to produce Banquet. Next week Dawn Crandell's Xenophobadelica is at Contact from Thursday (22-24 Nov), Ridiculusmus's Total Football is at the Unity, Liverpool and 12˚ Degrees North Dance Company's Triple Bill comes to Live at LICA, Lancaster on Thurs 22 Nov. I guess that leaves me opportunity for a bit of a plug for Word of Warning's next and final outing of the season (yup we're there already): Made In China's We Hope That You're Happy (Why Would We Lie?) at Z-arts on Fri 30 Nov. A BAC and National Theatre Studio supported company on their first visit to Manchester - we really hope you'll come and make them feel welcome. Aside from all that it's a loud, frantic and very messy rollercoaster of a show... which may well encourage us to let the whole evening descend into some form of season-closing messiness! Best Tamsin
