Word of Warning...
So as the sun sets on the lack of summer and the early shoots of student life start to appear, almost as inevitable as death and taxes, the Word of Warning mailer is back...
Of course, with it, comes the shiny new Word of Warning Autumn/Winter 2015 season, which gets off to an incredibly frenetic start with two festival weekends, then a calmer stroll through autumn with Darren Pritchard's Body of Light and Stacy Makishi's Vesper Time.
First up however, 24-26 Sep, is Domestic II, our second foray into tower block performance - this time completely uninhabited and in full renovation mode: Matthias Court in Salford. Three evenings of short shows from Cheryl Martin, Louise Wallwein, Liz Clarke, Michael Pinchbeck, Catherine Hoffmann and Ellie Stamp, plus a performance installation from Ria Hartley and a functional Audio Caff (or café for the posh). Saturday 26th also brings a daytime live gallery of durational and intimate performances from artists too numerous to mention (right now). Salford truly is a hotspot for the weekend, as Flow Salford also takes to various venues around the city.
The following weekend (Sat 3 Oct), also brings the sixteenth Emergency to Z-arts: 28 pieces, ranging from durationals and one to ones (12-4pm), to a full programme of sit-down performances from 4pm.
Beyond Word of Warning's slightly over-ambitious machinations, over the next few weeks, worth a look in parts Mancunian might be Annie Siddons Raymondo at Sale Waterside on Thu 17 Sep and Laura Lindow's then LEAP at the Lowry on 24 + 25 Sep. At Contact there's Rachel Goodyear's Blind Spots on Thu 24 Sep and Hetain Patel's American Boy, 1+2 Oct. at Home; whilst at HOME there's Nanterre-Amandiers' La Mélancolie Des Dragons (1-3 Oct).
Further afield, this Saturday 12 Sep, Lowri Evans's For the Record is at St Helen's Heart of Glass; Abandon Normal Devices Festival takes over Grizedale Forest, 18-20 Sep; and Kate O'Donnell's Big Girls Blouse is at the Duke's, Lancaster on Fri 18 Sep.
I think that's your lot for this week while I go back to figuring out how to turn a very dishevelled tower block into a welcoming venue!
