Word of Warning...
Following a rousingly operatic start to the Word of Warning season with Proto-type Theater, the week ahead sees us gear up to work in a brand new space, with some brand new work (one piece so new we haven't even seen it yet). The space is so shiny and new, the wrapping's barely off, but our first outing to the STUN Studio at Z-arts on Wed 26 Feb with an ageing double-bill (the theme not the work!) with Ira Brand's A Cure For Ageing + Nicki Hobday + Sara Cocker's Age Concerns (work in progress).
Elsewhere, in Manchester, Kate Tempest's Brand New Ancients continues at Contact tonight Fri 21 and tomorrow Sat 22 Feb and, further afield, Selina Thompson's Dark and Lovely continues - at Union 105, Leeds and our very own Lowri Evans The Secret Life of You and Me is also in Leeds at The HUB tonight. On Saturday there's also the LEAP Encounters in Lancaster City Centre and Instant Dissidence's Caramel at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford...
Next week, w/c 24 Feb, there's a huge swathe of work at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford all week including Lizi Patch, Jaye Kearney, Hannah Nicklin and Daniel Bye; on Tue 25 at Leeds Carriageworks there's Gary Winters + Claire Hind's Dream Yards
Gob Squad's Western Society is at LICA on Wed 26 Feb; Sleepdogs' The Bullet and The Bass Trombone is at Axis, Crewe on Thu 27 Feb; and White Rabbit's 366 Days of Kindness is at The Lowry also on Thu 27 Feb.
Of course, in my hugely biased opinion, the unmissable event of the week is our own Ira Brand | Nicki Hobday + Sara Cocker doublebill at the STUN Studio on Wed 26 Feb.
The following week, look out for Cacalano, Cacalano + Cooper's Event at Axis; Junk Ensembles' The Falling Song at Live at LICA and Contact; Hannah Nicklin's Songs for Breaking Britain at The HUB, Leeds and special mention for Vincent Dance Theatre's Motherland at Contact.
Hoping lots of you will join us at Z-arts on Wednesday - head for the Atrium rather than the bar, where we'll be making a whole new 'social space' in our own inimitable fashion!
