Word of Warning...
Having said I wouldn't send a WoW this week... a bit of digging around has uncovered that Leeds seems to be turning into festival city - just not shouting loudly about it this side of the border!! But first, closer to home, a quick reminder that today, Fri 15 is Greg McLaren's Doris Day Can F__K Off is at the Lowry Studio and Mother's Ruin is at Contact that same evening... it's probably just possible to squeeze the both in as long as you plan on making a suitably dramatic entrance into Mother's Ruin!Next week, for the dance inclined, EDge 2012, the showcase of London Contemporary Dance School graduates lands at Contact on Thurs 21. And, as touted, Leeds springs into life with two weeks of festivals. First up is the Emerge 2012 festival (18-24 June) then the Ludus Festival the following week. From Emerge, what intrigued me were the two Works in Progress on Weds 20 and Thurs 21 June, and Daniel Bye's Six O'clock News at Carriageworks on Sat 23. Think that's it for now - though if anyone wants to tell me differently, please do so! Suggestions are always welcome! Also, I'm beginning to think ahead to the big summer slowdown and whether to go to Edinburgh! So... was wondering if anyone reading this might have already started thinking about festival and whether they might be up for sharing their tips?! Any thoughts and ideas please post here!
