And if that lot's not enough for you... coming up the following week in SICK! are Sue Maclaine, Zachary Oberzan, Action Hero, Caroline Bowditch + Edit Kaldor!

Word of Warning...
So, Word of Warning's spree of hyperactivity continues tomorrow, Sat 28 Feb, with Haphazard. From 12-4pm we will be filling Z-arts with random occurrences with everything from quirky quoits to a jungle jamboree and all for free, so please do drop in and join us - all ages more than welcome.
Elsewhere you can still catch DV8's John at the Lowry (tonight Fri 27 Feb - click here for ticket offer), Blast Theory's Too Much Information (27 Feb - 1 Mar - selling very fast) at the Royal Exchange and FutureEverything everywhere (25-28 Feb). Further afield at the Unity, Liverpool you can also see David Rosenberg + Glen Neath's Fiction on Fri 27 + Sat 28 Feb.
Next week, SICK! Festival hits Manchester with a bang. We at WoW are really happy to be co-promoting Hunt & Darton Cafe popping up on Piccadilly Approach (5-25 March) with a plethora of guest waiters. Also in SICK! Festival: at Contact is Pieter Ampe's So You Can Feel on Tue 2 Mar; and Contact Young Company's Under The Covers (directed by Stacy Makishi) (4-7 Mar); Chris Green's Prurience is on Wed 3 Mar at the Methodist Central Buildings: and Lois Weaver's What Tammy Needs To Know About Getting Old and Having Sex is on Fri 6 March at Z-arts.
The Lowry is has 3 days of dance with Smallpetitklein's Within This Dust on Thu 5 + Fri 6 Mar and Jasmin Vardimon's Park on Sat 7 Mar. Sleepwalk Collective's Karaoke is at Axis, Crewe on Tue 3 Mar, and the Hear Me Roar weekender is in Lancaster including a Drunken Nights on Fri 6 Mar (at the Wagon & Horses pub allegedly!)
The following week is so busy it's almost impossible to unpick. SICK! Festival has Ridiculusmus, La Ribot, Chop Theatre and (beyond WoW's usual fare but still significant) the harrowing Nirbhaya. Beyond that, amongst other things; The Lowry has Wim Wandekeybus's Ultima Vez, Reckless Sleepers are back in Cheshire; DV8 are in Blackpool and Rajni Shah + Andy Smith are in Lancaster.

Word of Warning...
So, back in Manchester and back in harness and we're gearing up for a pretty full-on month or so. This quiet half-term week comes to a close with Mammalian Diving Reflex's Nightwalks With Teenagers from Contact (til 22 Feb); and in Lancaster, Amy Sharrocks' Museum of Water is at the Storey Institute (also til 22 Feb).
Next week sees Word of Warning unbelievably busy: starting on Tue 24 Feb, we trot into The Lowry for an equestrian double bill: Leentje Van de Cruys' Horse plus Whoaaaaa Steady!, made with collaborators from University of Salford. We stay at The Lowry for Mark Thomas's Cuckooed on Wed 25 Feb - genuinely the best thing I saw in Edinburgh last year and a brilliant example of the marriage of performance and activism (if you're quick there are a very few tickets remaining).
We then move back to Z-arts for Haphazard, our second free all ages live art day on Sat 28 Feb. It features Liz Clarke, Robert Foster, Julieann O'Malley, Leo Burtin, Peter Jacobs, Josh Coates, Rachel Ramchurn, Natasha Patel, Ultra Violets PLUS the return of the delightfully eccentric Levantes Dance Theatre and a bonus micro-herd of cows thanks to Lani Irving! We may also have surprise guest waiters in the cafe...
Manchester in general is dead busy - with DV8's John at the Lowry on Thu 26 + Fri 27 Feb, Blast Theory's Too Much Information at the Royal Exchange and FutureEverything everywhere (25-28 Feb - check out the opening gala, and Nyloïd). Further afield at the Unity, Liverpool there's a chance to see David Rosenberg + Glen Neath's Fiction on Fri 27 + Sat 28 Feb.
The following week, in fact the following month, there's no let-up - with the opening of SICK! Festival in Manchester - a huge programme of work across multiple venues (week one features Pieter Ampe, Chris Green, Lois Weaver + more) and which includes WoW's co-promotion of Hunt & Darton Cafe (watch this space for the location reveal). Also coming up is Jasmin Vardimon at the Lowry. Sleepwalk Collective at Axis, Crewe, and the Hear Me Roar weekender in Lancaster.
So off to take a deep breath over the weekend ahead of the ensuing madness

Writing from the depths of the South West, Manchester seems a fair way away... nevertheless, this week you can still catch Fergus Evans's Rove at the Lowry, tonight Fri 13 and tomorrow Sat 14 Feb; or in Lancaster, at the Duke's Playhouse, Chris Thorpe + Hannah Walker's I Wish I Was Lonely tonight, Fri 13 Feb and on Sunday, Rebecca Atkinson-Lord's Sunday Lunch Project at Bradford's Theatre in the Mill.
Next week there's a brief half-term hiatus, though you can catch Two Destination Language's Near Gone at Edgehill University on Tue 17 Feb; Mammalian Diving Reflex's Nightwalks With Teenagers at Contact (20-22 Feb); and in Lancaster, Clod Ensemble The Red Chair is at Live at LICA on Thu 19 Feb, while Amy Sharrocks' Museum of Water is at the Storey Institute (20-22 Feb).
The following week (or 'Hell Week' as it's known in our office), parts Mancunian are unbelievably busy with DV8 at the Lowry, Blast Theory at the Royal Exchange and FutureEverything everywhere. Word of Warning pops up at the Lowry (twice!) with the incredible Mark Thomas and a horsey double bill. Not content with that the idiot programming WoW also saw fit to put on our second Haphazard, all ages live art day on Sat 28th at Z-arts!
So IF we survive and IF anyone's still talking to me, we'll see you there!

Having failed miserably to brave the snowy Pennines to see Jamal Harewood last night (sorry!), I'm hoping to fare better getting to Liverpool for Tmesis Theatre's That's Amore at the Unity (tonight, Fri 30 + tomorrow, Sat 31 Jan)!
Next week as we skate into February, Lucy Hutson's Britney Spears Custody Battle vs. Zeus in Swan Rape Shocker is at Live Art Bistro in Leeds; and closer to home, there's Queer Contact's co-promotion with WoW of Amy + Rosana Cade's Sister (sold-out) followed by Eggs Collective Get A Round, both Thu 5 - Sat 7 Feb.
Also 5-7 Feb, intriguingly, over at Stage@Leeds there's David Shearing & Company's The Weather Machine.
The following week (w/c 9 Feb), you could easily be out every night of the week: with Tom Marshman, Ashley Knowles and Kate O'Donnell at Queer Contact; Fergus Evans at the Lowry; Reckless Sleepers at Axis, Crewe; and Chris Thorpe + Hannah Walker in Lancaster. And as a final heads-up, if anyone is craving a bit of big dance, Manchester Theatres has an offer for Richard Alston Dance on Tue 10 Feb at the Lowry!

Word of Warning...
I can't believe it's Friday again already - January seems to be racing by at a rate of knots...
The performance world seems to be waking up: next week on Tue 27 Jan, Live at LICA, Lancaster have Third Angel's The Life and Loves of a Nobody; and the same night, at Edgehill University, there's Theatre Ad Infinitum's Light.
Thu 29 Jan sees Tim Crouch + Andy Smith's What Happens to the Hope at the End of the Evening at Contact; and, over in Leeds, at Live Art Bistro: Jamal Harewood's The Privileged.
Meanwhile in Liverpool, Tmesis Theatre's That's Amore is at the Unity (Wed 28 - Sat 31 Jan)
The following (w/c 2 Feb) week sees Lucy Hutson at Live Art Bistro in Leeds; and closer to home the launch of Queer Contact opening with the almost sold-out Amy + Rosana Cade's Sister (co-promoted by WoW), and an Eggs Collective late nighter.
And finally, if anyone is thinking of heading to Bristol for In Between Time IBT15 (12-15 Feb)... get a move on, tickets are going fast!

Word of Warning...
So... with the 'festive' season well and truly behind us and the bloom a bit faded on the shiny new year, it's back to business (or cynicism) as usual!
Word of Warning Spring 2015 programme is now live. It's a very eclectic mix - from Amy+Rosana Cade's Sister at Queer Contact, some horsing around at the Lowry, a second bonkers all-ages Haphazard at Z-arts, and the 4th (yes fourth!) Turn at Contact.
Additionally WoW is delighted to be co-promoting Mark Thomas's Cuckooed at The Lowry (they've actually let us into the Quays for this one!) - best known as a stand-up and activist, and seemingly an odd choice for WoW, this piece and its predecessor were some of the best shows we've seen in Edinburgh over the past few years. Cuckooed is so much in our kind of 'vein' that we really wanted to draw your attention to it - book fast as it will probably sell-out, but it's well worth it!
Also look out for our first venture into the world of catering in March!
Looking at the world beyond WoW... we are starting to piece together what Spring looks like:
On Tue 20 + Wed 21 Jan the Lowry has Random Dance's Atomos; on Thu 22 Jan, Josh Coates's Rot takes you on a mystery journey and, the same day, over in Leeds, Live Art Bistro has Brian Lobel's Purge.
The following week look out for Tim Crouch + Andy Smith at Contact; and Third Angel at Live at LICA, Lancaster; plus the intriguing Jamal Harewood at Live Art Bistro, Leeds.
And finally, if any of you fancies being involved in this madness, we are looking for our next paid intern! The criteria for the funding are quite strict, see full details here.
