Brighton's Attenborough Centre unveils line-up

The Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (ACCA), the Brighton-based arts centre at the University of Sussex, is promising an eclectic spring 2023 season of “carefully-curated contemporary music, theatre, dance, talks and collaborations with international artists and partnerships with national and local producers.”

A programme of Brighton Festival events, hosted at ACCA throughout May, will also be announced on February 23.

Creative director Laura McDermott said: “Presented as part of South East Dance’s undisciplined festival, showcasing dance that pushes the boundaries of the artform, Starving Dingoes (March 9) is a rite, a piece for five dancers portraying the urgency to live, furiously and passionately. Created in a collaboration between choreographer Léa Tirabasso and cancer specialists Simone Niclou and Alex Gentry-Maharaj, this dance performance explores the phenomenon of apoptosis, in which individual human or animal cells are programmed to die off for the benefit of the whole organism.
