Press Release
Z-arts, 335 Stretford Road, Manchester, M15 5ZA
On Saturday 1st April, something a bit fishy is happening at Hulme’s Z-arts.
Manchester’s free exploration of the eccentric, Haphazard is returning and this time with an invitation to play the fool.
Sing-a-long with a fish, walk like Sponge Bob, dance with a bear or play a trick on your friends… intriguing images and offbeat oddities dotted around the historic Z-arts building in this family free-for-all.
From a caged queen to a blanket fort; a karaoke funeral to a poisson d’avril; doors that go nowhere and specs that see nothing… Expect the unexpected…
“Madcap fun…Wacky and creative…Kids loving it.” – Audience Member
Participating artists include: AAA Batteries | Benjamin McChrystal Plimmer | Chris Sav | Delpha Hudson + Nigel Bispham | Grace Surman + Clare Dearnaley | Lani Irving + Chloe Smith | Megan Egglestein | Michael Gleave | Natalie Wearden + Indigo Branscombe | Nicola Smith | Philip Breadney | Rebekka Platt
Haphazard is for anyone looking for a different day out to join in this eccentric afternoon of exploration for all: kids and their adults, adults and their adults – this is not art for children but art for everyone…
Part of Word of Warning’s roving programme of different new performance Haphazard takes place on Saturday 1 April 2017, 12noon — 4pm at Z-arts, FREE. Turn up at any time and come and go as you please.
