...Tiers of a Clown or No More Tiers, Enough is Enough - the song-pun potential is endless as the great battle of Manchestier3 rages on. Planning live performance becomes ever more precarious as we try to second guess potential impact - will the optional extras restricting performing arts venues be invoked? Can we ask artists to travel? My programming preoccupations aside, looking at the weeks ahead inevitably, the usual pinch of salt caveat is to be employed...
In the physical world, it should actually be quite a busy week or so: The Lowry has Imitating the Dog's Dr Blood's Old Travelling Show on Sat 17 Oct (also at Lancaster Arts, 20+21 Oct); Circuit - a trio of dance and circus works on Sun 18 Oct; and Petrichor, a live VR and online experience (26 Oct - 1 Nov). HOME has Rash Dash's Don't Go Back To Sleep (21-24 Oct).
Elsewhere Krapp's Last Tape + La Voix Humaine continues at Leeds Playhouse to Sat 17 Oct.
Online: CLAY's Chasm programme runs through October and November, including Ellie Harrison's Loose Ends tonight, Fri 16 Oct, Nando Messias's Aurora on Mon 19 Oct and Jo Hauge's Kiss and Cry on Fri 23 Oct.
In more discursive territory, celebrations of the 75th anniversary of the Pan African Congress in Manchester (until Sun 18 Oct) are happening at See My World Festival (Sunday's programme has more performative work); and at PAC@75 - including Tania Camara's Poetics of Freedomaudio work.
HOME's Homemakers continues, with new content, including Stacy Makishi's Homeward (house) Bound (5-7 Nov - book early it's a one to one phone encounter and very lovely).
LevyFringe goes online 22-31 Oct, while elsewhere Katye Coe, performs perch by Amy Voris from her home on Thu 22 + 29 Oct .
Next weekend (23-25 Oct) sees Black Gold Arts Festival including Cheryl Martin, High Rise Theatre, Mele Broomes and Travis Alabanza.
As ever keep checking our News + Information page for more pointers to opportunities and show videos online, and @WarnMcr on Twitter for short-notice performances.
Right, back to trying to piece together a reasonably achievable Emergency programme without too many tiers.
