Meanwhile Dolan has time has been taken up on XTRAX and Decibels three day showcase for street arts in Manchester, Platform 4 Piccadilly."One & Other" finishes on the 14th of October, 100 days from it's start. We liked the man dressed in a white boiler suit and white wolf mask who danced in character for 1 hour to Daft Punk, Wagner and Pink acting out what looked like the wolfs demise as it was hunted and then ressurected by Peaches "**** the Pain Away". Marvelous.
