Word of Warning...
Scarily it's mid November already and we're heading off across the hills to Compass Festival (13-23 Nov) for Oliver Bray's Of This Room and Reckless Sleepers' Negative Space at Stage@Leeds, tonight Fri 14 Nov. Plenty more on over the next week including Manuel Vason's Double Exposures, Helen Cole's We See Fireworks, Live Art Bistro (Fri 21), two offerings from Quarantine, an appearance by Forced Entertainment and a big day of sited work next Saturday.
This weekend is a veritable collision of work: in parts Macunian, at The Lowry you can still catch Imitating the Dog's A Farewell To Arms (14-15 Nov) and Akram Khan's Desh (Fri 14 Nov - the ending is extraordinary - check out manchestertheatres.com for ticket offer), plus on Saturdays there are live performances as part of Akram Khan's One Side To The Other exhibition. Also in Manchester, The Penthouse has another Noise Above Noise night tonight, Fri 14 Nov.
Over in Liverpool ex-Bloolips Nick Philips' Ecce Homo is at the Unity (14 +15 Nov) and Chanje Kunda's Amsterdam is at the Lantern Theatre on Sat 15 Nov.
In Bradford Baba Israel + Unfinished Business's The Spinning Wheel is at Theatre in the Mill (13-15 Nov) and Theatre Delicatessen is ongoing to 22 Nov in Sheffield.
Beyond that there are a couple of pop-up exhibitions happening at Federation House (M4 2AH) in Manchester: tonight (Fri 14 Nov) Martin Hamblen performs as part of the preview for Hankering for Classification; and on Fri 21 Nov performance by Sarah Spanton and others as part of the preview for Bed.
Next week calms down a little bit but there's still The Worst of Scottee at Contact (20-22 Nov); and in Liverpool, Homotopia continues with Debs Gatenby's Hi Anxiety on Thu 20 Nov at the Lantern Theatre; Forced Entertainment pop up again doing a 24 hour Quizoola in Sheffield (Fri 21 Nov) and Compass Festival gears up again for another big weekend.
Word of Warnings final outing of the season is on Fri 28 Nov - a special, work in progress of Michael Pinchbeck's The man who flew into space from his apartment. It's free, but very limited capacity, so book now as there are only a handful of tickets left.
As a final word, Arts Council England is advising that now is the time to be shouting loudly about the value of the arts before the political parties publish manifestos for the next election. So please do check out ACE's Culture Matters page and spread the word!
