warnmcr: moveable picnic...


So, as the months tick by and the seasons become every bit as befuddled as the rest of us, it's laughingly time to launch Word of Warning's Summer 2020 Performance Programme... Not so summery, and not so much a programme, but a moveable picnic that we'll  add to as conditions (as of just now Level 3) permit. We start with a pilot of Domestic, a beta-test platform for new work from home by six invited artists. If all goes well, we're hoping to keep it going as a regular open call event, possibly on a monthly basis, for as long as necessary... 

Before that, in livestream world, tomorrow Sat 20 Jun is really busy: HOME's Homemakers has James Monaghan's Let's Spend the Night Together + Complicité's everything that rises must dance. Homotopia has Kenneth Morris's CATEGORY IS FETISH; while Gob Squad's Show Me A Good Time is a 12 hour durational performance live from Berlin.
Over the next two weeks: Forest Fringe TV, has Harry Robert Wilson's audio lecture on Thu 25 Junwhile, the following week, we have Domestic on Wed 1 Jul; then the Unshut Festival takes place 2-4 Jul. Meanwhile Quarantine's No Such Thing continues on the first + third Wednesdays of the month.

New online: check out LADA's Summer Programme until 19 Jul.
Ongoing: Two Destination Language's A Journey of a Home (Online) is available until Sun 21 Jun. Homotopia has Leo J Skillbeck's Love Song for the Wild; and Harry Clayton-Wright's You Otter Know online magazine (both til 31 Jul). HOME's Homemakers + the BBC's Performance Live on demand programmes continue, as does Hester Chillingworth's The Caretaker. You can also 'watch again' our work with Tania Camara and Will Dickie

I'll be back next week, with booking details for Domestic; meanwhile, keep checking our News + Information page for more pointers to opportunities and show videos online, and @WarnMcr on Twitter for short-notice performances. Meanwhile, I'm off to be the minnow in the sea of the Where Do We Go From Here? discussion (sold-out) - wish me luck!

Best
