A somewhat desolate, damp start to February can be briefly cheered this weekend with Queer Contact 19's Mother's Ruin at Waterside, Sale, tonight, Fri 8 Feb; and House of Suarez's Vogue Ball at Manchester Academy 2 tomorrow, Sat 9 Feb. If you're in the mood for a more theatrical stroll, Gare du Nord's Manchester Walking Tour is on Sat 9 Feb, while 1927's The Animals and Children Took to the Streets is ongoing at HOME (until 16 Feb).
Elsewhere, James Wilton's The Storm at Blackpool Grand tonight, Fri 8 Feb.
Next week (w/c 11 Feb) it's all happening on Tuesday and Wednesday and all outside Manchester: Tuckshop Dance Theatre's Neverland is at The Egg Studio, Liverpool on Tue 12 Feb; and Action Transport, Ellesmere Port on Wed 13 Feb. The Arts Centre at Edgehill University has Stuart Waters's Rockbottom on Tue 12 Feb and Greg Wohead's Celebration Florida on Wed 13 Feb; while on Wed 13 Feb you can also pick from: Carroll & Disley's Expanding the Picture II at the Bluecoat, Liverpool; Patrick Campbell's Black Rivers at Axis Crewe; or Lucy Hutson's Bi Curious George and Other Sidekicks at Theatre Deli, Sheffield.
The following week (w/c 18 Feb) Tuckshop Dance is in Chester, Forced Entertainment and Imitating the Dog in Lancaster; and a Lizzie Klotz + Victoria Firth double bill in Huddersfield. A bit beyond our normal range, but possibly worth the extra miles is SLAP festival over in York (20-23 Feb).
In Word of Warning news, we're happy to announce that this year's Works Ahead artists are Mark Croasdale and Avital Raz - more info coming soon... and don't forget you can now book to join us for our 100th event: Will Dickie's The Rave Space at NIAMOS. Best
