Getting towards Spring and, as ever, we bring you a packed season. In particular we have the Leicester Comedy Festival to take your mind off the weather and keep you giggling through to the Summer. Beyond that we have a set of exceptional performances of contemporary music, some truly international dance, and a remarkable theatre piece based on The Bacchae. On the film side there is the chance to see some classic film with new prints, a wonderful celebration of 100 years of cinema with silent comedy and a welcome retrospective of the work of Michelangelo Antonioni.

Friday 8 March - Watch my Lips: An orgy of words written with bodies. The Charnock Company. Theatre on the edge. Tension vibrates through the air like palpable electricity - Sunday Times. Exploring a punishing and sensitive physicality, Watch My Lips plunges into the savagely romantic world of seduction, deception, jealousy and revenge.
Friday 22 March - Dirty Reality II, Black Mime Theatre. Here is mime that is vital, relevant and widely appealing - a mixture of gestural evocation, a capella singing and dance - The Guardian. When love takes its toll and you're with someone of a different race, how hoes it feel? Black Mime Theatre looks at black people's history in Britain and the impact of mixed race relations.
Monday 25 March - Earthquake, Leicester Community Performance Workshop. Earthquake! Explores the world of the disaster. Looking at popular film, historical fact and personal confession. Earthquake will convey the funny and tragic stories of a group of confused performers who are fighting to survive into the next century, or so they hope…
