So
as another week closes, we're all hugged out in Manchester, but our
partners, Derelict, in Preston might still give you a good HUGging - tomorrow, Sat 9 Apr at the Harris Museum.
This weekend and next is all about unusual festivals, up in Glasgow there's Buzzcut (til 10 Apr - look out for Lucy McCormick, coming soon to a Works Ahead near you!) while a bit closer, Derelict kicks into action tonight in Preston, with the aforementioned Verity Standen's HUG (Fri 8 Apr + Sat 9 Apr); continuing with Glen Neath + David Rosenberg's Séance (11-16 April); the unique gastronomy of Zuppa Theatre's Pop Up Love Party on Fri 15 + Sat 16 Apr plus a special flash of The Larks' Join Me, also on Sat 16 April. While over the hills in Sheffield, next weekend, you can also check out the Wrought Festival of one-to-ones (15-17 April).
The following week (w/c 18 April), the rather discombobulated easter seems finally to be over and you can catch Unlimited Theatre at the Royal Exchange; Wendy Houstoun at the Lowry; Transform Festival in Leeds and Mark Thomas in Liverpool.
Word of Warning, meanwhile, will also be twizzling back into action at Contact, with our annual foray into the world of dance - Turn 2016 (Fri 22 + Sat 23 April). While you're all having a HUG in Preston, save a thought for us - it's not all hugs and air-kisses here at WoW - we'll be spending the day trying to unpick the logistical intricacies of staging 21 pieces of dance in two nights!
