Event overview
PRF Dis-Play [20] - Charlotte Vincent: Vincent Dance Theatre
A meeting ground between contemporary practitioners, researchers, students and staff in the college as well as the general public via a programme of cutting edge talks, events and performances.
Charlotte Vincent is ‘one of the UK’s leading female choreographer/ directors’ (The Observer). Since 1994, Vincent Dance Theatre (VDT) has produced powerful, engaging dance theatre work that tours nationally and internationally, accompanied by an extensive programme of participatory and professional development activity.
VDT is an international ensemble of multi-tasking collaborators who devise cross disciplinary performance that challenges conventional values in dance and gender politics. VDT produces other artist’s work, hosts The Table, curates international exchange labs, publishes research and facilitates critical debate around contemporary performance practice. Charlotte’s distinctive voice also acts as a mentor, teacher, facilitator, writer, provocateur and catalyst for critical debate and social change.
Vincent Dance Theatre allies the collaborative approach in the studio to the ethos and structure of the company and is driven by five core values: creativity, diversity, responsibility, inclusivity and action. The company places importance on equality for women, provides supportive conditions for parents to return to work and employs mature practitioners, valuing the experience they bring to a creative process. The company focuses on creative and ecological sustainability and as a touring company looks for new ways to be socially and environmentally responsible.
The event takes place in the George Wood Theatre, Richard Hoggart Building, Goldsmiths, University of London, Lewisham Way, SE14 6NW, at 6.15pm, hosted by Anna Furse.
Entrance free of charge, but booking is essential.
