Word of Warning — Weekly Warning

As Duchess Domestic rebrands her American Riviera Orchard to something more quotidien, her commander-in-chief continues to rewrite a different kind of history... In performance world, we seem to have a bit of a seesaw between Mancunia and the surrounding areas:

This weekend Mancunia is on top: HOME has Reece Williams's This Kind of Black and Aviva Studios have NDT's Figures in Extinction both until Sat 22 Feb. On Fri 21 Feb there's Emilyn Claid's Untitled at Lowry; Dance with Us at New Adelphi; Lip Service's Funny Stuff at The Edge (also on 22 + 27 Feb, all sold-out). Meanwhile Barbara is at the New Adelphi on Sat 22 Feb.

Next week (w/c 24 Feb) Mancunia is quiet: Barbara is at Bury Met on Wed 26 Feb; Louise Orwin's Fame Hungry is at HOME on Thu 27 + Fri 28 Feb.

Further afield is on the up with Reece Williams's This Kind of Black at Lancaster Arts on Wed 26 Feb, The Call Centre presents Jamal Gerald in Leeds on Thu 27 Feb. Chester Storyhouse has Dreamtime Fellrunner on Fri 28 Feb and Barbara on Sat 1 Mar; and the LBT Huddersfield has Motionhouse's Hidden on Sat 1 Mar. Heart of Glass also presents the sold-out Resort at Bidston Observatory (28 Feb - 2 Mar).

The following week (w/c 3 Mar) momentum remains with the wider region. In Mancunia, for something a bit different you could try Ivo Graham's Carousel at HOME on Thu 6 + Fri 7 Mar or Red Bastard at the Kings Arms on Sun 9 Mar.

Natalie Bellingham's Look After Your Knees is at the LBT, Huddersfield. Up Next Festival takes place at the Unity in Liverpool (6-8 Mar) - catching my eye was the Friday Night double bill and Decolonial Dogs' Siren Blues on Sat 8 Mar. Sat 8 Mar also sees the start in Liverpool of DaDaFest's DDFI40 (8-31 Mar).
