NEWSFLASH: Please note Vickie Fear: Oh Hell has now moved to Royal Exchange Theatre, St Ann's Square - ask steward for exact location.
HAZARD takes to the streets of Manchester this Saturday in a yellow and black flurry of random occurrences.
For anyone planning to be in town, please read on for a bit of a guide of what not to miss and tips on finding your way through the event.
DON'T MISS:
Peader Kirk - Mkultra and a group of artists who use wheelchairs recreating the Apollo 11 moonlanding in St Ann's Square at 1pm + 3pm (30mins).
Alex Bradley recreating every demo he's ever been on, in the Peace Gardens, St Peter's Square - 12-5pm
Jordan McKenzie giving the image of banking a make-over at 100 King St 1-4pm
and
The March of the 100 Dorothys now wending its way right from greenroom, through Albert Square, St Ann's Square, Manchester Arndale, Piccadilly Gardens and on to its jubilant end in Canal Street 2-4pm approx.
nb - Scratch 'n Sniff presents My Beautiful Laundrette is now almost sold out!
For those of you a bit bemused, here's a possible route suggestion:
Start at St Peter's Square for Alex Bradley's one man demonstration then up Moseley St to Piccadilly Gardens for a somewhat scaled down version of Hens' Teeth's synchronised swimming in the now fountain-less Piccadilly Gardens! (til 2pm)
Check out Hannah Wiles's bollards at the bottom of Oldham St
Head down Market Street to Manchester Arndale and get helped Crossing Market Street at Tesco.
Head into Hallé Square and join in some Larkin' About games.
Leave Manchester Arndale via Exchange Court and pick up a Freezechester free magnetic artwork.
Head on to St Ann's Square for Martin Hamblen, Natalie Preece, Rachael Nutter, Out of Hand Theater and Astrid Breel
- so have a blind date and get dumped in a car, post a letter to a giant post box or wait for the balloon to burst.
Ask a steward to point you to Vickie Fear and, If it's around 1pm or 3pm then stick around for And Counting...
Wander up King Street to see Clare Charnley's Splat! (12-5pm) and Jordan McKenzie (1-4pm)
Between 2.30 and 3.15 the March of the Dorothys should pass you somewhere in town.... Albert Square around 2.30, St Ann's Square around 2.45 or Exchange Court in Manchester Arndale around 3pm.
Or follow them back to St Ann's Square to catch the second performance of And Counting... at 3pm.
Generally keep your eyes open for James Topple's yellow and black phones cropping up randomly, Noise Club's sonic performers, The Muffia's bar-coded researchers and Fin de Siecle signing the way to Public Facilities.
Finally, don't forget, at 5pm, to join the flashmob in Piccadilly Gardens for The smell of rain reminds me of you (download an mp3 from http://rainreminds.tumblr.com/)
Hope to see you somewhere in town!
