Word of Warning...
It's time to stop pretending it's summer and face the full frontal assault of the autumn season. Things really get going from next week with a flurry of activity across the region....
Of course, here at Word of Warning, our focus is firmly on Emergency, on Sat 5 Oct at BLANKSPACE and Z-arts. Full artist details are now only and we will release the schedule next week. It's a more chilled out affair than some years, but still promises 28 pieces all for free - don't miss commissions from Becky Bowley and Mike Chavez-Dawson, and the return of old friends like Drunken Chorus.
Meanwhile, next week, over at Edgehill there's still the 12 Degrees North Dance Company's Triple Bill on Mon 30 Sept and Mary Pearson's Failure on Thu 3 Oct. Axis Arts Centre in Crewe gets going with Jean Abreu's Blood also on Thu 3 Oct. Leeds has its annual Light Night on Fri 4 Oct; and in Liverpool, ever inventive, The Kazimier has an intriguing art/club crossover - FuturePrimed (also on Fri 4 Oct).
Closer to home, on Fri 4 and Sat 5 Oct, The Lowry has Holly Bodmer + Dot Howard's sited Would Be Nice Though. Then of course there's Emergency..!
The following week, on Monday 7 October, Lancaster gets busy when Live at LICA opens two performance related exhibitions - Raisin + Willow's Sea Breeze, An Archive, and the Transformed doublebill with works by Louise Ann Wilson and Wrights & Sites/Katie Etheridge and the Duke's also has the fantastically off the wall No Big Deal: La Petite Mort double bill featuring George Adams + Ellen Turner (winner of the Turn Prize 2013).
The week of 7 Oct continues in Manchester with the regular Tales of Whatever and Ailis Ni Rian's A Shadow on Summer at The Waterside, Sale and the Lowry has Hannah Silva's The Disappearance of Sadie Jones (also at the Lantern, Liverpool).
Not that we're biased or anything but the highlight of the week has to be the marvellously warped RashDash's Ugly Sisters at Contact.
Further afield, Melanie Wilson's Landscape II is at Axis, Crewe and MDI presents Northern Dances at the Capstone, Liverpool.
I'm off to get on with the annual juggling act that is Emergency - this year the shopping list seems to include scaffolding, ropelight and 360 apples... and that's before we start feeding the artists!
