So
time seems to be continuing to move at an alarmingly accelerated pace -
certainly much faster than my workload (and my bad pun brain) affords -
so here's a rather brief round-up of the next couple of weeks:
This weekend you can still catch The Wardrobe Ensembles' 1972: The Future of Sex (Fri 20 May) or 2Magpies Theatre's Ventoux (Sat 21 May) at the Lowry; The Larks' The Switchover (Sat 21 + Sun 22 May) at Chorlton Arts Festival; and at HOME, the ongoing double bill featuring Conker Group's Gutted and Eggs Collective's Late Night Love (til 21 May) - not to mention HOME's First Birthday weekend...
Speaking of which, on Sunday 22 May you might still be able to join Word of Warning at HOME for Richard DeDomenici + Eggs Collective's Queer As Yolk: Redux. Part performance, part mini-film premiere - it's an (ir)reverent director's cut with a difference! Whilst it is technically sold-out, as a free event there could well be returns - so it may be worth coming on spec (and if you have a ticket that you aren't planning to use, please let HOME's box office know on 0161 200 1500).
Next week (w/c 23 May) things seem a bit on the quiet side: in parts Mancunian look out for Penny Arcade's Longing Lasts Longer on Thu 26 May at Contact and Hidden Track's Standard Elite at Chorlton Arts Festival on Sun 29 May. Further afield, to the west at Physical Fest, Liverpool there's Fest Live (25 May), Onur Orkut (26+27 May) and Wendy Houstoun (28 May); and to the east, at Theater Delicatessen, Sheffield there's Chris Dubrowski's Antarctica (Wed 25 May).
The following week (w/c 30 May) I couldn't possibly talk about anything other than WoW's very own Works Ahead at Contact (largely because I haven't come across anything else yet!) Two very new double bills by four artists at different stages in their careers - join us on 3 or 4 June for Compact Edition with Terri Donovan + Afreena Islam and Evening Edition with Top Joe + Lucy McCormick.
Hoping to see you at HOME.
