Word of Warning...
...ok so forgive me for the lousy subject, I'm feeling like a bit of a space cadet! I know, Major Tom's a dog, ok? The slightly odiferous but completely loveable star of Victoria Melody's upcoming show!
But before that, Contact's Flying Solo first week continues tonight with a new show from Domestic friend, Greg Wohead's The Ted Bundy Project (Fri 14 + Sat 15 Mar ) and Kaleider's You With Me (til 15 Mar). over in Leeds, Yorkshire Dance's Juncture Festival comes to a close on Saturday (15 Mar) with Wendy Houstoun's Stupid Women
Next week, continuing in a dance vein - there's Dancing Partners, featuring Company Chameleon at Blackpool Grand on Thu 20 and The Lowry on Fri 21; Tempered Body Dance's It Goes Here Now at Z-arts also on Fri 21. More theatrically, Impulse Collective's Exposed on Tue 18 Mar and The Wardrobe Ensemble's 33 on Sat 22 Mar are both at Carriageworks, Leeds and Penny Dreadful's How To Be Immortal is at The Lowry (19-21 Mar)
Obviously in my completely unbiased opinion - the pick of the week is Victoria Melody's Major Tom on Thu 20 Mar - coincidentally a Word of Warning co-promotion with Contact's Flying Solo (but genuinely one of my favourite shows from Edinburgh 2013).
Also watch out for Jackie Hagan's Some People Have Too Many Legs (also at Contact 21+22 Mar).
The following week - w/c 24 Mar - sees the launch of FutureEverything; the third Homegrown at Z-arts, and a Derelict Live/Talk with LEAP mini-festival in Preston.
Of course, we at Word of Warning couldn't be left out of the action - so will be popping up again with the very fragrant Two Destination Language at Contact.
For now I'm off for the final furlong of the National Portfolio application. If you hear very loud strains of the Sugababes Push The Button emanating from the Hulme vicinity, that'll be me submitting... hope to see you at Major Tom!
