Vincent Dance Theatre
Founded in 1994 and based in Sheffield, Vincent Dance Theatre produces devised dance theatre work in a variety of media, and on a variety of scales, touring the UK and abroad. The company has produced fourteen original productions to date, live, video and interactive installations, short films and video works, art publications as well as a large and informative website and informative contextualising packs to accompany recent productions .
Vincent Dance Theatre is a diverse company with an international outlook. The company works as an ensemble and places great emphasis on the devising process encouraging the personal contributions, nurturing the individual skills of the collaborators involved.
VDT’s touring work is raw, passionate, humorous, emotionally bold and physically demanding. The work challenges conventional expectations of what dance can be, jamming together sophisticated physicality with theatricality, live and originally composed music and visually striking sceneography to find a language that moves and surprises audiences with its emotional, physical and visual impact.
The company is involved in a wide range of teaching practice in professional development, community and formal education contexts. VDT also supports the development of dance artists based in Yorkshire and the UK, through mentoring and artistic apprenticeship schemes.
