While Greater Manchester+ languishes in its own mini-lockdown like some under-performing school put in special measures; and the tantalising tease of indoor performance has move further out of reach; I'm taking the opportunity for an ad hoc mail as we at Word of Warning are sticking our heads above the virtual parapet again, with the second Domestic.
Happening on Wed 12 Aug at 8pm, it features Andrew Neil Hayes, Daniel & Clara, Dominique Savitri Baron-Bonarjee, Kellie Colbert, melissandre varin, Niya B, Sebastian H-W and is hosted by Peader Kirk. It's our first open call online event and we think this one will have a more meditative feel - please do remember Domestic is a beta-test to try out new things on limited resources!
Elsewhere on the internet, the massive Electric Dreams festival continues until Sun 16 Aug; or for a global experimental dive into Shakespeare there's What You Will on Sat 8 Aug.
While we might not be making the annual pilgrimage north to Edinburgh; there is a plethora of digital content emanating from what's being called Edinburgh Reimagined. To be absolutely frank, I haven't fully got my head round it, especially when it comes to crossovers and duplications. There seems to be a mixture of pre-recorded and live streamed content and you might want to check out the Ed Fringe site itself as an overview (to narrow it down I've searched 'theatre' for you); and have a good look at Zoo Festival (17-22 Aug); and especially SHEDINBURGH - live streamed from sheds (I think from Fri 14 Aug, programme tba tomorrow).
New recordings online: Online@TheSpace starts Sat 8 Aug; while ongoing: HOME's Homemakers, BBC's Performance Live on demand programmes and Hester Chillingworth's The Caretaker all continue. You can also still 'watch again' our work with Tania Camara and Will Dickie; plus the first Domestic.
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. Hope to 'see' you at Domestic!
