warnmcr: live long and prosper!

Word of Warning... welcome to the first week in living memory without a WoW show!


Having reached hiatus in our marathon season, I'm wading knee deep through documentation are hurtling full tilt into future programming... I must have been SO wicked in a previous life!

Temporarily released from that programmer's perpetual fear of throwing a party and no one showing up,  I'm happy to remind you that coming up this Sat (11 May)at Contact are both is David Toole + Lucy Hind's Extraordinary and our friends The Larks , play-testing their latest game.

Next week please turn-out (pun intended) to support Manchester Dance Consortium's Platform 0.2 on Tue 14 May at Contact: for a very special ticket offer quote 'Boogie' when booking; and don't forget the monumental Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui + Antony Gormley's Sutra at the Lowry on Tue 14 + Wed 15 May; Whitworth After Hours on Fri 17 May; Box of Tricks' CounterCultureClub at 2022NQ on Sat 18 May and, further afield, Slung Low's 15 Minutes Live on Sun 19 May in Bradford.

The following week sees Lois Weaver's What Tammy Found Out at Contact ; Embryo at Studio Salford; and the intriguing The Manopsychotisches Ballroom at 2022NQ.  Further afield there's Wendy Houstoun's 50 Acts at the LBT in Huddersfield; Physical Fest in Liverpool has Daphnis Kokkinos's Addio Amore at the Unity; and Ollie Smith's Cat in Hell is at Slung Low's HUB in Leeds.

As a final word (before we bunk off for the afternoon to watch Star Trek Into Darkness, geeks that we are), Word of Warning would like to congratulate Contact on their very excellent appointment of Matt Fenton as their new Artistic Director + CEO.
