Word of Warning — Weekly Warning

A Thursday afternoon Weekly Warning feels a bit wonky, but with Haphazard coming up I thought I'd slip this in before everyone descends into a sugar-induced easter coma! If you're not chocolate-wallowing, this weekend you can still catch Imitating the Dog's Heart of Darkness at the Lowry and Rob Newman's Total Eclipse of Descartes at the Dancehouse, both tonight, Thu 18 Apr; and Amy Voris's Perch at AWOL Studios, at dusk every night in April. Hunt and Darton's Radio Local is also in St Helen's on Sat 20 April.

Next week (w/c 22 April) the pace really picks up. At Z-arts Company of Others' Crackle. Dustis in STUN Studio on Fri 26 April, while on Sat 27 April, we at Word of Warning go into overdrive with Haphazard 2019: a bubbling symphony of a free day out for all ages— clouds of foam, playful shadows, scarecrows with a conscience, a signing musical statue, and the hardest working moth in Tinseltown. Turn up at any time, come and go as you please and expect the unexpected!

Further afield, Lola Maury's Brouhaha is at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford on Wed 24 Apr; while the vacuum cleaner is hosting I Heart Thursdays in St Helen's on Thu 25 Apr.
The big story is over in Leeds for Transform Festival (26 Apr - 4 May). There's a host of international and UK artists so the easiset might be to download the brochure. This first weekend(26-28 April) includes 70/30 Split, Jamal Gerald, Motus + nora chipaumire; while the second week (1- 4 May) includes machina eX, Future Radicals, colectivA ocupaçao (also coming to Manchester), Tianzhuo Chen + Julian Hetzel; with Action Hero running throughout.

The following week (w/c 29 Apr) also sees Company Wayne McGregor at the Lowry, CYC + Homegrown at the Bread Shed.

In other news, our own Works Ahead (16+17 May), featuring Mark Croasdale and Avital Raz is now open for bookings.

Have a lovely, unusually clement, long weekend!
