ARTISTIC POLICY
Vincent Dance Theatre’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 choreography with theatricality, music and scenography to find a language that moves and surprises audiences with its emotional impact. Vincent Dance Theatre is a diverse company with an international outlook. The work places great emphasis on the personal contributions and individual physicality and cultural histories of the company members involved.
