So,
here we are in the brave new world of 2016... revved and raring to
go... or clamouring to crawl back under the duvet - delete as
applicable!
The performance world is still pretty entrenched in pantoland but the first shoots of something more interesting are starting to appear, so we thought it was high time we actually told you about the Word of Warning Spring 2016 Programme as we, unbelievably, start our fifth year as WoW.
Book-ended by random horse metaphors, this short, sharp shock of a season spans just six weeks and takes a canter through gender binaries, the darker side of intimacy, stupendous magic and a bonkers bash for the young at heart as we welcome Eilidh MacAskill, Kim Noble, Vincent Gambini and a host of Haphazard creations... Kicking off on 4 February, look out for our shiny new silver print, hitting the streets from Monday.
Before all that, if you're feeling starved of culture (as opposed to chocolate and mince pies), have a look at PUSH 2016 (14-24 Jan at HOME): most WoW-relevant in this rebrand of the Re:Play festival is a new show from Works Ahead 2014 alumni SheepKnuckle (16/17 Jan). In Salford, The Lowry has Dancing Partners, hosted by Company Chameleon and featuring 3 international dance companies on 22 + 23 Jan (bring a friend offer here or £10 tickets here). Further afield, over at Sheffield Theatres, there's Third Angel's Partus (15-20 Jan, not Sunday); while Lancaster Arts has Imitating the Dog's The Train (21-25 Jan, various times)
Things start to liven up a bit more from w/c 25 Jan, so I'll be back on Fri 22 Jan with a look ahead to the turn of the month.
