THIS WEEK Works Ahead is back for 2025 and we’ve worked with artists @adele.legallez and @marthapailing, to help them develop new work for a double bill show, in conjunction with @warnmcr and their mentor @peaderkirk. This double bill will feature... 👉Landings by Adèle Le Gallez A missing church on Orkney. An only child in Oldham. A relief for those in free-fall, and a retreat for those in crisis. Live sound experiment, demonstration, and storytelling. 👉Failure To Thrive by Martha Pailing “Touch is the first sensory system to develop in the foetus.” What does it mean to be held, to be nurtured, to be known? This work unpacks the strange contradiction of being a fully grown adult who is still learning how to thrive. 📍 Contact, Oxford Rd, Manchester ⏰15-16 May 🔗 https://contactmcr.com/events/works-ahead-2025-2 #worksahead #newperformance #developingperformance #contactmcr #contactarts #contacttheatre #mcrevent #worksahead2025 (fb)
