ARTISTIC POLICY
Vincent Dance Theatre’s (VDT’s) touring work is raw, passionate, humorous, emotionally bold and physically demanding. Pulling together movement, text, choreography, theatre, live music and a strong visual sense of place, VDT’s rollercoaster productions challenge conventional values in dance and gender politics. VDT is a diverse company with an international outlook. Inclusive by nature and feminist in approach, the company makes devised work as ensemble and places great emphasis on the personal contribution, individual physicality and cultural background of each collaborator involved.
