Not the latest internecine staring contest, but an invitation to a contemplative performance ritual. But before that...
This weekend, it's all about Yorkshire: in Leeds, Toussaint to Move's Windows of Displacement is at Yorkshire Dance on Fri 22 May and Bobak Champion's I'm Muslamic Don't Panik! is at Slung Low's Warehouse on Sat 23 May. Meanwhile Matthew Hawkins's Ready is at Wainsgate Chapel, Hebden Bridge on Sun 24 May.
Next week (w/c 24 May) the pace in Mancunia really picks up:
Please do join us for the first of two Works Ahead outings: n:u (melissandre varin)'s Evil Eyes at Contact on Thu 28 + Fri 29 May - a performance-ritual experimenting with ancient cosmologies: Vodún figures of the twins, Celtic folklore, and African knowledge systems.
Meanwhile, Lowry has Double Bill: Voyage & Hakkõ on Tue 26 and Wed 27 May.
HOME has Shechter II's In The Brain (27 -30 May) and YES YES NO NO's Nation (28-30 May).
SICK! has Krishna Istha + Geetha Shankar's Second Trimester at Lowry Wed 27 + Thu 28 May; and on Fri 29 + Sat 30 May, a screening of Hannah Ballou's (I) Miss America and In Bed With My Brother's Philosophy of the World at Contact. Come on Friday and you can catch those AND n:u (melissandre varin)'s Evil Eye all in one go!
Also on Fri 29 + Sat 30 May Le Gateau Chocolat's Spirituals is at Lowry.
Beyond Mancunia, Leeds Playhouse has Perfect Show for Rachel (28 May - 6 June).
The following week (w/c 1 June) maybe I'm missing something but all seems a bit quiet - on my radar is just Cie. Modo Grosso's Tout/Rien on Mon 1 + Tue 2 June and We Invented The Weekend on Sat 6 + Sun 7 June - all at Lowry.
Keep checking our News + Information page for more pointers to opportunities and show videos online, and @WarnMcr on Twitter (X if you must) for short-notice performances.
Notes for Artists - the cut-off for the next Social Experiment (11 June) is Mon 25 May.
