Welcome to Tier 3, now the topsy turvy government poker game has wound down, the chips are being counted but the stakes are still unclear. To date, it *seems* like the optional extras to close cultural venues haven't been invoked: I've been hitting refresh, but as of 1115am there's no mention of any on gov.uk; but Manchester City Council is still holding off saying anything in the absence of full Govt information!
I'm really hoping that my outing to a real show in an actual theatre - Rash Dash's Don't Go Back To Sleep at HOME (running til Sat 24 Oct) doesn't prove a one-off! The live flurry of the past week seems to have calmed down, but you can still catch Petrichor, a live VR and online experience at The Lowry (26 Oct - 1 Nov), while next up, HOME has Javaad Alipoor's The Believers Are But Brothers (3-5 Nov).
Apologies to anyone reading from beyond Greater Manchester, but since we're now advised not to travel beyond our borders, for now I'm not going to taunt Mancunians with mentions of live performance beyond these realms... I suspect work purposes might lead me to start looking further afield again in the not too distant; so if you're doing something outside Greater Manchester that you think really fits and should be mentioned, then email me!
Online: this weekend it's all about Black Gold Arts Festival (23-25 Oct) including High Rise Theatre's Lil.Miss.Lad and Travis Alabanza's Smashing Down The Doors (both tonight Fri 23 Oct); Mele Broomes's Surrounding by Listening to Manifestations of Love and Solidarity #4and Cheryl Martin's One Woman (both tomorrow Sat 24 Oct); and The Garden Party Sunday Sessions on Sun 25 Oct.
CLAY's Chasm programme also has Jo Hauge's Kiss and Cry tonight, Fri 23 Oct.
HOME's Homemakers continues, with new content, including Stacy Makishi's Homeward (house) Bound (5-7 Nov - book early it's a one to one phone encounter and very lovely).
LevyFringe is online until 31 Oct, including, on Fri 30 Oct Janet Charlesworth with Proud + Loud Arts' Article 19 UNCRPD (keep scrolling down the bookings list); while elsewhere Katye Coe, performs perch by Amy Voris from her home on Thu 29 Oct .
As ever keep checking our News + Information page for more pointers to opportunities and show videos online, and @WarnMcr on Twitter for short-notice performances.
I'm on tenterhooks waiting for the Tier 3 edicts so I can finalise (or not) the Emergency programme... fingers crossed we can do it!
