As we at Word of Warning reel out of our Spring/Summer season following our glitzy(!) film première (see the Facebook Live from the red carpet), all around us Festival frenzy has truly peaked with the collision of MIF and FLARE17...
This weekend there are still two days of FLARE17 to catch (until Sat 8 Jul) - and don't forget the £5 ticket offer for:
HOME Double Bill #2 - Simon de Winne and Tibaldus & Massive Owl tonight Fri 7 Jul, 8pm; Sprachspiel - Geert Belpaeme & Mats Van Herreweghe at the Royal Exchange also Fri 7 Jul 7.30pm + Actresses Always Lie - El Pollo Campero... at the Royal Exchange tomorrow Sat 8 Jul 7.30pm. Meanwhile I'll be making my first MIF sortie to Returning to Reims (5-14 Jul) and Available Light (6-8 Jul); and I might venture to Susan Hefuna's ToGather (free performance Sun 9 Jul).
Next week (w/c 10 Jul) sees the conclusion of MIF, and I'm erring towards Boris Charmatz 1000 Gestures at the Mayfield Depot (Thu 13-Fri 15 Jul) and, more affordably, the free concluding Phil Collins's Ceremony on Sun 16 Jul.
Not wanting to be outdone in the festival-off, Liverpool Arab Arts Festival is also taking place (8-16 Jul) including Tania El Khoury's As Far As My Fingertips Take Me at Liverpool Central Library (12-14 Jul); and in more theatre mode, The Crows Plucked Your Sinews at the Unity on Tue 11 Jul has been recommended to me.
Beyond festival world, there's also Joanna Tremaco's Women Who Wank on Wed 12 +Thu 13 Jul at the Wonder Inn; while up in Preston Tin Can People's The Katie + Pip Project is at Derelict Summers on Sat 15 Jul.
The following week (w/c 17 Jul), there's no let-up in the festival onslaught, with the Royal Exchange joining the fray with the Co:Lab Festival (21-23 Jul, mainly Pay What You Decide) - a host of emerging work from Elmi Ali + Nuala Maguire, Charlotte Maxwell + Marcela Hervia and Amy Lawrence amongst others. HOME also offers a second chance to see The Conker Group's Gutted (19-22 Jul).
Thereafter, I think it's safe to breathe again as the the summer slow-down starts; so this Weekly Warning is going to take advantage to go on a break until the Autumn season kicks in - though if something unmissable crops up, we'll be back - and of course, when (and if) I achieve the unfeasible task of digesting Edinburgh, I'll make some (hopefully helpful) suggestions!
