So
here I am writing amidst a whirl of singing fish, musical bears and a
lot of silly walking... and that's just a normal day in the WoW office!
Of course we're a little fixated this weekend as our fourth Haphazard is
about to launch itself on an unsuspecting world. This is not live art
for children but live art for everyone - pop in to Z-arts between 12+4pm
tomorrow, Saturday 1 April and join us for free... just beware there
might be the odd April Fool...
I believe there is life beyond Haphazard this weekend, I'm just failing to experience it... Tonight, Fri 31 Mar AAA Theatre's The Misfit Analysis is at the Lowry, and Republica is at HOME on Fri 31 Mar + Sat 1 Apr. Also on Sat 1 Apr at HOME is Sol Picós's One Hit Wonders (sneaky tip use code MANCHESTERTHEATRES at checkout for £5 HOME tickets), or a bit further out, at Worsley Village Library, there's Blast Theory's Take Me To The Bridgewater.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond anyone's control Robert LePage's Far Side of the Moon has been cancelled.
Further afield John Smith LIVE: whatever being is at Live Art Bistro, Leeds, also on Sat 1 April and Unlimited Theatre's Am I Dead Yet? at the HUB, Leeds on Sun 2 Apr.
Next week (w/c 3 Apr) in parts Mancunian things slow right down in WoW territory, but if you want a dance based outing there's STRIDE at Salford Uni on Fri 7 + Sat 8 April. Further afield you can catch Jenna Watt's Faslane on Fri 7 + Sat 8 April at WYP, Leeds... meanwhile we'll be heading way north for BUZZCUT (5-9 April) in Glasgo.
The following few weeks are a bit confusing as Easter throws its usual spanner in the works. This Weekly Warning is going to take a bit of a break and will be back on Fri 21 Apr with news of Word of Warning's Spring/Summer programme (sneak preview of the first half below). So, in the interim, while we haven't found much to talk about in w/c 10 April, in w/c 17 April (immediately after Easter) there's a minor explosion of activity that you shouldn't miss in the shape of Transform Festival in Leeds (19-22 April), plus SH!T Theatre at HOME; and Nick Cassenbaum at The Lowry.
I'm now off to plot tomfoolery and chaos; fish themed karaoke and a funereal disco - hope to see you at Haphazard!
