Ok, here goes with a more than normally breathless run-down... this week you can still catch 1927's Golem at HOME til Sat 17th and Leo Burtin's The Midnight Soup at Café Lux in Pudsey tonight, Fri 16 Oct, as part of Love Arts Leeds. Then, make the most of Sunday + Monday as next week is intense; and a sensible way of organising it eludes me, so here's a straight, roughly geographic, listing:
In parts Mancunian you can see:
Forced Entertainment's The Notebook at Contact (20-22 Oct);
Black Gold at STUN Studio at Z-arts featuring Darren Pritchard's Body of Light on Thu 22 Oct (and excerpts at Manchester Science Festival at MOSI on Fri 23 + Sat 24 Oct); Cheryl Martin's Alaska on 22 + 23 Oct; Keisha Thompson's I Wish I Had a Moustache on Fri 23 Oct and Chanje Kunda's Amsterdam on Sat 24 Oct;
Rash Dash's We Want You To Watch (22/23 Oct) and Russell Maliphant's Conceal/Reveal (also 22 Oct) at the Lowry (nb leave extra time as the only Accessible parking is now the pay car park);
Coney's The Green Gold Conspiracy at The Lowry on Fri 23 Oct and at Chester Zoo on Sat 24 Oct (nb you do get a meal for the price of the ticket...)
Further afield look out for:
Quarantine's Autumn at Lancaster Arts (formerly Live at LICA formerly The Nuffield) on 20 + 21 Oct;
2FacedDance Dreaming Code at LBT Huddersfield on Tue 20 Oct;
Andy Smith's The Preston Bill at The Continental, Preston (21/22 Oct);
Candoco Double Bill at Blackpool Grand on Wed 21 Oct;
DV8's John at West Yorkshire Playhouse (22-24 Oct);
Ricardo Buscarini's No Lander at Axis Crewe on Thu 22 Oct;
Grace Surman's Things Stack Up at Bradford Theatre in the Mill on Fri 23 Oct;
Robert Softly If These Spasms Could Speak at St Helen's Heart of Glass on Sat 24 Oct.
Looking to the west, it's festival-time with On The Verge in Liverpool (22-25 Oct) - catching my interest is AR-Tea Collective's HeartBrokers; The Lemon Collective's AlieNation and the On The Verge 1:1s. Meanwhile down the road in Warrington there's the Encounters sited event bringing live art to the town centre.
Don't expect anything to calm down the following week as New Art Club and KILN are at Contact and Forced Entertainment are back, this time to Z-arts, to appeal to the young at heart.
In a bid for ubiquity, Forced Entertaiment are also in Huddersfield while Chris Goode is at Axis, Crewe and Bradford Theatre in the Mill; Greg Wohead is in Warrington and Two Destination Language are in Preston and Edgehill. Meanwhile, for the truly dedicated, Spill Festival is on in London (if you look REALLY hard you can work out it's 28 Oct - 8 November).
We at WoW are just a little daunted by entering into this particularly frenetic fray, but, of course, you'll be foregoing all the rest to join us, Darren Pritchard and the Black Gold line-up, here within Z-arts (22-24 Oct).
