I know I’d be thrilled to experience this, and I’ll kick myself hereafter for choosing not to go, but it’s just too sodding expensive. Gutted. #ImDrawingTheLine #FactoryInternational @avivastudios.bsky.social @marinaabramowicz.bsky.social @louderthanwar.bsky.social

Really proud of this lovely sound instillation! I worked with 8 songwriters in 8 different languages, then the 8 ensembles learning the 8 songs about loss and migration! Its in Rochdale but sooo worth the effort before 20th if you have an hour or so! #MIF25 #ShilpaGupta #FactoryInternational

For this week's wellness activity, a group from Olliers visited the Football City, Art United exhibition at Aviva Studios.

If you get the chance, the exhibition is well worth a visit.

Still not over how beautiful THE HERDS by The Walk Productions was. My sister and I had the sweetest tourist run up to us and say“I love Manchester I am having such a good time!” as we watched the parade in the sun.

The perfect way to kick off MIF25.

#MIF25 #TheHerds #FactoryInternational

THE HERDS was absolutely brilliant! I’d been so excited to see it in person, and it was truly moving to watch it touch down in my hometown. A powerful and inspiring start to MIF25 #mif25 #factoryinternational #theherds

Hamlet Hail to the Thief | Aviva Studios | Manchester A frenetic adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet haunted by Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief

What are you doing with your life this week? If it's not "going to Manchester to see this" then you're doing it very, very wrong. It's so good!

Saw this last night at Factory International, absolute belter. Wrote my review on the train home but lost my programme in the process, gutted! #hamlethailtothethief #hamlet #hailtothethief @the-rsc.bsky.social #factoryinternational @northern--soul.bsky.social

Outstanding opening performance of #HamletHailToTheThief at #FactoryInternational this afternoon. Unusual combination of #Shakespeare and #Radiohead but it definitely works.

Finally managed to see Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) #DavidHockney #FactoryInternational #AvivaStudios #Manchester and it really is epic. Most wonderfully it’s an education in the thinking and approach of the artist - he’s a surprisingly good speaker on his craft. Only 5 days left.

Am writing about Hamlet today - it never gets old! - and it’s whetting my appetite for this. Can’t wait!
