Manchester’s twenty-second micro-marathon of the bizarre, the bold and the beautiful takes over Contact on Saturday 1 October — with a daytime of performance installations, one-to-ones, and interventions, followed by an evening full of short shows.

The annual platform for Live Art and contemporary performance, Emergency offers a sneak preview of new live work over a single day every Autumn — expect about 20 short works throughout Contact at this 22nd edition. No need to book, just turn up and Pay What You Decide (cash or card).

Probably England’s longest-running Live Art event, Emergency aims to be: a free-to-access public micro-festival and open submission platform; an opportunity for artists to meet, show, and peer review work; a selection event for a number of small Works Ahead commissions to be produced by hÅb & Contact. Emergency 22 produced by hÅb + Contact. EmergencyMcr.org · #EmergencyMcr
