Professional development

VDT offers a range of rigorous and impactful Continued Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for practitioners at every stage of their creative careers. We work equally successfully with recent graduates, early to mid-career artists and established directors, facilitators and performance makers.

VDT also offers a highly effective Mentoring programme with Charlotte Vincent for practitioners looking to further develop their choreographic practice, performance making skills, trauma informed and socially engaged practice.

A massive thank you for your support over the last half a year or so. I feel a huge shift in my confidence and in the clarity of what I’m doing both in and out of the studio. I don’t think I would have got to this point without the push from you, so thank you for not letting me off the hook!
