warnmcr: domestic dramas continue
 

 Word of Warning...



And so, with a car park full of twinkling fairy lights, a quarter of a ton of potatoes and fifty peaches on order, we are holding our breath to kick off Domestic tonight.  Lyn Gardners's lovely Guardian Guide preview didn't take account of the fact that, shockingly, not everyone knows the well-known Manchester arts venue: Cooper House... so here's a clue, it's a red brick block of flats, a stone's throw from the RNCM, between Trinity High School and the Gamecock pub!

Tonight (Fri 8 + tomorrow Sat 9 Nov) we start with Alex Bradley + Scott Smith's Field Test in Garageland, Small Acts Shower Scenes and the vacuum cleaner's Mental (sold out). Continuing next week with a brand new piece Leentje Van de Cruys's Kitsch'n Sink (Thu 14 + Fri 15 Nov), then Sat 16 + Sun 17 Nov sees a pairing of J. Fergus Evans's My heart is hitch-hiking down Peach Tree Street and Greg Wohead's I like the way you wear your hair plus Jo Bannon's Exposure (with Field Test and Shower Scenes continuing).  For ticket enquiries on the day call 0758 129 9439.

In my frantically domesticate mind, there is no life beyond the perimeter of my home, but unbelievably elsewhere the world goes on! In Liverpool Homotopia has Rosana Cade's Walking Holding, a Triple Dance Bill and David Hoyle (all tomorrow Sat 9 Nov). 

The coming week (w/c 11 Nov) continues to be busy round the region, with Sleepwalk Collective's Amusements (plus Paul O'Donnell's So Far West) on Wed 13 + Thu 14th, at Axis, Crewe; Every House Has Its Door's Testimonium at Live at LICA also on Wed 13th; Two Destination Language + Natasha Davis at The Capstone, Liverpool Hope University on Fri 15th and West Yorkshire Playhouse's Furnace is on Fri 15 and Sat 16 Nov.

Saturday 16th is generally busy - in Liverpool, Affront is at Homotopia and House of Suarez:Vogue-Deco at the Bluecoat; whilst  in Yorkshire Stan's Cafe's The Anatomy of Melancholy is at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford, and closer to home Kieran Hurley's Beats is at Contact.

Coming up the following week (w/c 18 Nov) is one of our last ever Method Lab commissions - Levantes Dance Theatre's Two Peas Without A Pod at Edgehill University (they're also showing work with students on 13+14th);  Stan's Cafe at Live at LICA; Spectacle at the Media Factory, Preston and PGB at Contact.

Back to the housework... hoping to see you at our very own 'at home'!

best
