So
the heatwave is over, the solstice has passed and standard edition grey
has returned - just in time for the next wave of 'summer' festivals.
Before that all starts, this weekend you can still catch Paper Birds' Mobile in Bury, courtesy of the Met (Fri 23 + Sat 24 Jun); and Art With Heart's Declaration at the Lowry (Sat 24 Jun).
Next week (w/c 26 Jun) in Manchester there's Sophie Willan's Branded at Contact (28 Jun - 1 Jul) and, over in Liverpool there's also Siobhan Davies Dance's material / rearranged / to / be at the Bluecoat on Sat 1 Jul. Then, of course, it's festival time, with the start of MIF: launching with What Is The City But The People? in Piccadilly Gardens on Thu 29 Jun; plus Nigel Barrett and Louise Mari's Party Skills For the End of the World (opening 27 Jun running until 16 Jul). Further afield, Derelict Summers is in Preston (29 Jun - 2 Jul) featuring Hofesh Schechter, Carboot Disco Bingo, Jamie Wood and more.
The following week (w/c 3 Jul) carries on in fest-mode with MIF picking up pace. Catching my eye are Yael Bartana's What If Women Ruled The World (5-8 Jul); Returning to Reims (5-14 Jul); Available Light (6-8 Jul) and Susan Hefuna's ToGather (performance Sun 9 Jul). The week also brings FLARE17 (4-8 Jul), with a host of new work from all over Europe. Short of listing everything, I don't have the euro-credentials to be terribly helpful, so download the brochure and see what takes your fancy! Of the things I am familiar with, there's another chance to see Massive Owl's Castle Rock and our own (Works Ahead) Tom Cassani's Someone Loves You Drive With Care plus Britt Hatzius's Blind Cinema. Word of Warning meanwhile will be hitting the red carpet ('paparazzi' and all) for the première of Richard DeDomenici's 24 Hour Party People: Redux at HOME on Wed 5 Jul - it's an early one (6.30pm) - so you can join us, and still make it to the evening's HOME FLARE double bill!
Have a good, traditional Mancunian drizzly summer weekend!
