So
after a week of building site shenanigans, we at Word of Warning, have
doffed our hard hats, steelies and not so hi-viz to return to the
relatively safe environs of Z-arts for Emergency's sixteenth (yes, really 16th!) birthday, tomorrow Sat 3 Oct, 12-10pm, free.
Kicking off at midday, with an afternoon of durational and gallery based work then, from 4pm, an evening of short shows Emergency sees an impossible attempt to halt the sands of time and a mother and son performance duo; a stand-up comedian hitting an all time low and a ‘a-rousing’ final ascension from GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN’s Lucy McCormick. The 26 participating artist/groups include: Adam Lowe; Adam York Gregory + Gillian Jane Lees; Alicia Radage; Eleanor Fogg; Gwendolen Osmond; Howl Yuan; Nicola Smith; Paul Hughes + Andy Edwards; Rachel Gomme; Simon Farid; Simon Gerrard; Sturgeon's Law; Terri Donovan; The Demolition Project; Tim Anderson + Tessa Buddle; Tin Can People; Trendscendence; Ali Matthews + Leo Burtin; Ali Wilson; Chris Jenkins; Dr Mango; Gareth Cutter; James O'Donoghue; Jon M Coleman; Lucy McCormick; Stephen Donnelly.
Though we might not like to admit it, there is life beyond Emergency, and elsewhere, tonight Fri 2 Oct you can still catch Hetain Patel's American Boy at Contact; whilst HOME has Nanterre-Amandiers' La Mélancolie Des Dragons (2+3 Oct).
Next week (w/c 5 Oct), while we take the opportunity to flake out from exhaustion, you can see Zendeh's Cinema (6-10 Oct) in STUN Studio at Z-arts; 1927's Golem at HOME (7-13 Oct); Contact Young Company's Under the Covers, (7-10 Oct) and, also on Thu 8 Oct, Le Gateau Chocolat's I❤︎ Chocolat both at Contact.
Further afield, Bradford's Theatre in the Mill has The Other Way Works' Black Tonic (7-11 Oct); Leeds Cariageworks has Madeleine Shann's Little Terrors on Wed 7 Oct and West Yorkshire Playhouse has Furnace Festival (8-10 Oct; be warned you have to dig quite deep in their website to work out what's going on - click both ticketed and festival pass tabs!)
For those up for a longer outing, Fierce Festival is in Birmingham (7-11 Oct), with Chris Goode, Neil Callaghan & Simone Kenyon, Selina Thompson, Katherine Araniello, Ria Jade Hartley, Ursula Martinez, Season Butler, Tim Etchells and more.
The following week (w/c 12 Oct) there's Stan's Cafe at Axis, Crewe; Rash Dash at West Yorkshire Playhouse and both Andy Smith and Drunken Nights in Preston.
I'm off to go and receive a giant Asda delivery for the annual Emergency artist buffet... oh the glamour of it all!
