Vincent Dance Theatre invite you to HOME TRUTHS, a new multi-screen film installation and engagement opportunity, taking place in our studio from Monday 25 October to Saturday 6 November. Please join us to test out the work and tell us what you think.
Drawing from VDT’s productions IN LOCO PARENTIS (2020) and ART OF ATTACHMENT (2018), HOME TRUTHS is the result of Vincent’s research with care-experienced young people and the adults in their lives, and with women in recovery from substance misuse and domestic violence. HOME TRUTHS explores notions of home, family and belonging and considers the impact of trauma on women’s and young people’s lives.
Whilst providing a space to engage with and listen to the voices of those who often remain unheard, HOME TRUTHS also offers a creative space to consider the emotional labour involved (by family intervention practitioners, child psychotherapists, social workers, parents, foster carers) in their support of the vulnerable communities represented in the work.
ART OF ATTACHMENT was originally commissioned by Oasis Project and funded by Wellcome Trust and ACE. HOME TRUTHS is supported by Dr Cath Lambert, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick and funded by an ESRC Impact Acceleration Award, supported by the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender at the University of Warwick and by ACE, through VDT’s NPO funding.
