Contemporary Performance Practice... Charlotte Vincent interviewed by Anna Furse
“To give and take weight from another human being is an intimate and an expressive form that can say a lot in one moment.”
Charlotte Vincent is widely considered to be one of the most important female artists in the UK today. In this stimulating exchange with Professor Anna Furse, she reflects upon the experience of founding her own company, Vincent Dance Theatre, and considers how collaborating with others can reveal crucial issues in today’s society.
Vincent explains how the combination of gender politics and physical theatre became the focus of her practice. With reference to her critically acclaimed production of Virgin Territory, she highlights the importance of working with young people and explores the unique challenges and benefits of doing so.
