About VDT
A lively stage scene with five actors celebrating, two seated at a table and three standing, conveying excitement and camaraderie.
Vincent Dance Theatre produces the work of Artistic Director and Choreographer Charlotte Vincent on stage, on film and online, moving people to think differently about issues of our time.
VDT brings professionals and non-professionals together to create productions and special projects that are widely distributed and applied in arts and non-arts settings.
VDT’s work is inclusive, collaborative and trauma-informed, integrated with robust safeguarding at every stage of our creative process. Participation and Professional Development is central to everything we do.
We prioritise working with women and girls, placing the female experience centre stage to provoke debate around equality of opportunity and highlight the need for social change.
VDT is a National Portfolio Organisation funded by Arts Council England. VDT is an Associate Company at Brighton Dome and Festival.

Our vision
Dance theatre that actively interrogates who we are and how we live, is a platform for people whose voices might not otherwise be heard, and a space to promote equality of opportunity and social change.
Our mission
We produce and distribute collaborative, socially engaged dance theatre work on stage, on film and across online platforms. We create opportunities for people whose voices are usually less well heard. We move people to think differently.
Our values
Socially engaged: the voices of people who might not otherwise be heard are audible at every stage of our creative process.
Practice led: we embed new learning and development in all areas of our activity and operation; safeguarding, trauma awareness and trust are at the heart of our practice.
Relevant: we promote equality of opportunity and inclusion in all aspects of our practice; our work consciously challenges the status quo.
Opportunity driven: we enable employment, training and development opportunities for trustees, staff members, freelance collaborators and non-professionals participants.
