Here we are at the very brink of WoW's Spring/Summer 2017; kicking off tonight, Fri 28 Apr, with the whirlwind that is Turn 2017 at Contact. Ten live and three video works in just the one evening - if that isn't the perfect curtain raiser to International Dance Day, I don't know what is... (no, I hadn't heard of it either!)
If that hard-sell hasn't whetted your appetite, then you could join Becoming Storybook's Secret Garden (Hulme Garden Centre various dates from Sat 29 Apr); take a trip to Sheffield for Jamal Gerald's God Complex at Theatre Delicatessen, also tonight, Fri 28 Apr; or to Lancaster for Hear Me Roar Festival (until 3 May)
Next week (w/c 1 May) if you're still in the mood for dance - there's Rosie Kay Dance's MK Ultra at HOME on Wed 3 + Thu 4 May and Lucy Haighton's Ruido at the University of Sheffield. For something completely different Thick Richard's Swear School is at Contact (Wed 3-Sat 6 May) and Nick Cassenbaum's Bubbleschmeisis is at the HUB, Leeds on Sun 7 May.
The following week (w/c 8 May) Daniel Bye is at the Met, Bury; Ellie Harrison and French Mottershead are at Lancaster Arts; Mark Murphy is at Blackpool Grand; Nick Cassenbaum is at the LBT, Huddersfield; and the Best of Both Worlds is at the HUB, Leeds. But of course, you wouldn't want to be anywhere other than at the next stage of Word of Warning's spring production frenzy: Works Ahead at BOTH Contact and STUN Studio!
So while I'm off to wind myself up into a spin, hopefully I'll see lots of you at Turn tonight!
