Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts announces spring 2017 season. The spring 2017 programme at the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts ( ACCA ) on campus includes contemporary performance, dance, installation, music, live art, debate and film, as well as a series of special partnerships and commissions, working with both local and international artists. Laura McDermott, Creative Director at the Attenborough Centre, said: "We received such a warm reception for our autumn season and we're really excited to continue building on that with new partnerships and wonderful experiences for our audiences. "This season we're particularly proud of our partnership with SICK! Festival , bringing you world-class international performances, installations and panel discussions. "The rest of the programme is also packed with truly diverse and unique art - from kinetic sculptures, to performances on headphones to an interactive adventure for kids." Programme highlights for spring 2017 at ACCA include: Stockhausen Festival (30 Jan- 4 Feb) is a series of contemporary classical concerts (Elaine Chew, Joseph Houston), an evening of film, and Ray Lee's large-scale kinetic installation Siren (29 metal tripods of whirling, spinning, mechanical movement, electronic sound and light), all in celebration of 20th-century composer and electronic music pioneer Karlheinz Stockhausen. Berlin and UK-based theatre makers Gob Squad bring their unique blend of "tender, exciting and dangerous" work to Brighton, presenting two works.
