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.

Mission

We produce and distribute collaborative, socially-engaged feminist 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.

Values

Company Information

VDT is based in Brighton, a registered charity focusing on the arts and education/training with direct delivery to the public. VDT is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) and Associate Company of Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival.

Founded in 1994, VDT produces the work of Choreographer and Director Charlotte Vincent, who conceives, directs and designs the company’s productions on stage, on film and online. Vincent has developed a unique and confident approach to integrating professional and non-professional practice in the research and making of the company’s production work, whilst maintaining the visually striking, physically compelling and high-quality aesthetic that audiences have come to expect.

Vincent’s productions are politically provocative and make significant claims for gender politics and equality, and

increasingly for wider social change and the representation of marginalised voices.

The Trustees have paid due regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in

deciding what activities Charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Achievements and Performance

2022/23 represents Year 5 in VDT’s latest Arts Council England NPO funding agreement (2018 – 2023). This was an extension year to the funding programme, as a recognition of the lasting impact the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic has had on the arts sector in the UK.

In this year, VDT made 1 new on stage production, Hold Tight , which toured to 6 venues in England , and delivered 1 in person performance lecture at Canterbury Christ Church University, engaging a live, in person audience of 707 .

VDT continued to make the most of its existing work on film , screening 4 film titles 32 times to a live, in person audience of 478 .

VDT worked with 685 participants through its participation & engagement programme , including delivering university seminars, running dance/theatre workshops whilst on tour with Hold Tight , delivering workshops in schools and youth community groups using VDT’s work to look at the negative impacts of social media on young people (funded by the Safer in Sussex Police Community Fund), running career development workshops for students through ESCC Open Doors and Creative Cafe programmes, starting research and development workshops for VDT’s next production PLAY , and working with local service providers, Oasis Project and Survivors Network, to deliver craft-based workshops as funded by The National Lottery Community Fund & Sussex Community Foundation.

During this period, VDT also hosted a peer support day with Orange Collective (a network of Arts and Therapeutic Practitioners) to support a growing movement in Arts and Wellbeing, in response to a mounting mental health crisis, started to test the use of VDT’s work on film with both staff and service users at Breaking the Cycle (a strand of Birmingham Children’s Trust) and launched an online Community Values resource in partnership with the University of Warwick.

Over the course of the year, VDT created and distributed 31 new online products to an online audience of 1,129 . VDT’s YouTube channel received 15,718 views across the year. VDT’s works on Digital Theatre + (DT+) & Routledge were seen by 36,111 audience members, with VDT’s resource packs on DT+ receiving 2370 views.

The first quarter of 2022/23 was spent writing VDT’s Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation application to retain core funding for the period 2023 – 2026 under ACE’s new strategy ‘Let’s Create’. The application was submitted on 16 May 2022 and on 4 November 2022 VDT received a conditional offer of £254,599 per year from April 2023. The offer was confirmed in February 2023.

1. ON STAGE

Hold Tight was created over seven weeks in the Jamie Watton Creation Space at The Dance Space (South East Dance) in Brighton. The rehearsal period ran from Monday 12 September 2022 – Saturday 29 October 2022, with the last week serving as a production week.

A freelance Project Manager, Kim Johnson, was contracted to manage the project with Charlotte Vincent.

Hold Tight was designed and directed by Charlotte Vincent with a cast of three non-professional young performers, one understudy and VDT’s artists Robert Clark, Aurora Lubos, Janusz Orlik and Antonia Grove. The work featured lullabies recorded with Ukrainian refugees living in Poland and reflected on home, family and belonging and how, when we long for intimacy and connection, sometimes we just have to Hold Tight .

VINCENT DANCE THEATRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The tour consisted of the following venues:

695 audience members saw Hold Tight live on tour, with 75 people filling in Audience Finder surveys.

Three post-show discussions were delivered across the tour. These took place at Barbican Theatre Plymouth, The Place and Riley Theatre, NSCD, all delivered by Charlotte Vincent with a host provided by each venue. These discussions were all either filmed or audio recorded for documentation purposes and future use.

Feedback from Hold Tight audiences:

‘It has been years since I have had the pleasure of seeing VDT at The Brewery. I was not disappointed. The quality and conviction of the performances from all the dancers in 'Hold Tight' was incredible and I was especially blown away by the young dancers you had selected. The characterisation was so deep from the adult dancers.’

‘This was like nothing I have ever seen. Thank you!’

‘This show made me laugh out loud and sob at the end. It is right to be deeply affected by theatre. It was poignant to have children as part of this story. I can’t get the show out of my mind. The acting and dancing were beautiful, gripping and surprising. It was ok to show real distress and loud shots and bombs to shake us up. We need to see the individual in their plight and not shrug people off. We need to engage. Well done for a strong show.’

A week of filming took place in the Weston Studio at The Dance Space after the tour ended, from Monday 28 November – Friday 2 December 2022. These films have subsequently been made into information films/ interviews to join VDT Practices series on YouTube.

2. ON FILM

VDT continued to distribute work on film; screening short and long form versions of existing works, and staging an Art of Attachment film installation. VDT’s assets allow for flexible distribution and much was delivered through facilitated engagement diversifying distribution, with VDT taking its work to schools, colleges, youth, community and arts spaces through its Participation Programme.

Art of Attachment Film Installation

In November, VDT delivered a whole day event; staging Art of Attachment film installation and co-producing engagement activities/resources in partnership with Breaking the Cycle (Birmingham Children’s Trust) and Warwick University. A total of 22 staff watched the work at this event.

The installation staging was followed by an in-depth exploration/co-designing session, exploring how to use Art of Attachment on film as part of Breaking the Cycle’s practice with service users (parents at risk of having their children taken away from them).

Breaking the Cycle then piloted some of the chosen clips with associated activities through Jan – March 2023 with Dr Cath Lambert (Warwick University) observing and documenting the process to contribute towards her research. A total of 6 parents took part in this pilot project over 5 sessions.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Film Screenings

Long and short-form film screenings of VDT work ( In Loco Parentis , Shut Down , Virgin Territory and Art of Attachment ) were delivered at the following venues/with the following groups throughout the year:

VDT reached a total audience of 478 through these film screenings.

VDT’s work on film was seen mainly by non-traditional, non-dance audiences; many of whom were young people (aged between 12 – 19) or staff/service users in the family intervention sector. VDT’s ability to offer bespoke packages to audiences and participants who then become audiences, continues to broaden the company’s reach and take high quality arts to communities less likely to access such work.

‘ Sian created a welcoming & inspiring environment and created a safe and creative space in which to work in with a range of activities and art materials. The videos showed the power of creative approaches to humanising trauma. It was inspiring to be introduced to the medium of dance and to see how VDT used dance to support the participants to tell their stories in Art of Attachment. ’ Feedback from Branwen Lorigan & Polly Irvin, Orange Collective founders and trainers

‘The videos and kickboxing were really amazing’ School student feedback

‘I liked it because I learnt about art and social media’ School student feedback

Financial review

2022/23 showed a continuing recovery following the pandemic in arts, education and care sectors and represented the company’s first return to the making and touring of live, on stage work since In Loco Parentis in 2019/20.

2022/23 represents an extension year of the National Portfolio Organisations funding agreement from Arts Council England (from 2018/19 to 2021/22). In February 23 VDT received a conditional offer from ACE of £254,599 per year for a further 3 years NPO funding 2022/23 – 2025/26.

The company’s focus 2022/23, in addition to continuing to ensure the company’s financial resilience and protecting and retaining the staff team, returned to the creation and touring of live work, and to strategically developing the partnerships that had been maintained during the pandemic. The return to live making and touring is reflected in the turnover of £324,077, higher than the previous year, and in the increased expenditure for UK touring and projects.

In addition to ACE funding VDT received £17,670 combined from Sussex Police Safer in Sussex Fund, Sussex Community Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund to support participatory programmes, as detailed above. £51,334 of earned income was achieved through the distribution of assets On Stage, On Film and Online in addition to other core charitable activities. Donations totalling £200 were received and £247 was bank interest.

Total resources expended for the year was £357,717, exceeding income by £33,640 but supported by a designated fund of £118,170 for HOLD TIGHT . Of the £357,717 total expenditure, 62% (£222,377) was directly allocated to charitable activity including specific artistic productions, including: making and distribution of Hold Tight , Home Truths (including Art of Attachment ), on film screenings of IN LOCO PARENTIS On Stage, online distribution of VIRGIN TERRITORY and SHUT DOWN On Film and the delivery of all online Engagement work and provision of strategic development activity, including Art of Recovery . 34% (£120,443) of total expenditure was on support activity including administration staff, staff training, office and storage, telecommunications, training, insurance and accountancy. A further 1% (£4,175) on governance and remaining 3% (£10,722) on raising funds.

Vincent Dance Theatre ends 2022/23 with a general fund comprising of reserves of £112,657, in line with the current reserves policy. VDT’s finance sub-committee regularly review the current situation for estimating 3 months’ unfunded operating costs in line with the agreed Reserves Policy. Having met the previous reserves target up to 31 March 2023, securing another 3 year funding agreement with ACE and in view of changes to the staffing structure, the calculated costs for 3 months’ core operating and redundancy have been reviewed (November 23) by the finance sub-group. Revised operating costs up to 31 March 2024 are circa £65,000 and redundancy costs of £48,400 for 2023/24, totalling £113,400. Redundancy payments are based on contractual statutory redundancy allowance plus an additional discretionary fund of £6,678 to be used by the Trustees’ to offer enhanced redundancy packages to employees who have a long continuous service, which fairly reflects length and actual service. It is deemed prudent and good practice that money is directed to this fund to build towards the Trustees’ agreed Reserves Policy of 3 months’ unfunded operating costs, as detailed below.

In addition to the general fund VDT holds restricted funds of £9,490 for the continued delivery of participatory activity for Art of Recovery which continues into 2023/24 and an unrestricted designated fund of £58,500 to support the development and creation of PLAY which falls beyond 31 March 2023.

VINCENT DANCE THEATRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of incidence later that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be built to a level equivalent of three months unfunded operating costs, including statutory redundancy payments to eligible staff and a discretionary redundancy fund, as detailed above. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure. That in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue Vincent Dance Theatre's core activities for up to a period of three months. Or consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised or in the event of winding up that employees are protected by ensuring sufficient resources are in place to support redundancy payments.

Structure, governance and management

Vincent Dance Theatre is a company limited by guarantee, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, dated 3 July 2001 and registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.

Artistic Director/CE Charlotte Vincent leads the company and is responsible for the company's artistic policy. The management and administration team is small comprising of full time General Manager (Holly Morris), part time Participation and Digital Development Director (Sian Williams) and part time Senior finance Manager (Katie Bough). The Artistic Director, General Manager and Finance Manager have delegated authority, within the terms and conditions approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance and employment.

In addition to the salaried staff team VDT engaged a number of freelancers with expertise in marketing consultancy, fundraising and project management to build capacity when needed and enhance the team.

The company has informal weekly in person or online meetings to share issues around workload and additional staff meetings where longer term policy, finance issues and company priorities are discussed monitoring delivery against agreed targets. An HR led capacity review, delivered by Kate Ward from Counter Culture, was started with the aim to identify recommendations to support, stabilise and enhance VDT as an organisation and the staff team. The process is expected to continue into 2023-24 with agreed recommendations taking time to transition into the organisation.

At writing, Vincent, Dance Theatre has a six strong board of trustees who monitor the company's progress in line with Charity Commission guidance and have used such in deciding what activities Vincent Dance Theatre should undertake.

During 2022, following a seven-year tenure as Trustee and chair, Rose Kigwana retired from VDT's Board of Trustees. We again thank Rose for her passion, inclusive approach and dedication to VDT. Casey Scott-Songin has taken the role of Chair and three new trustees have been appointed to the Board in July/August 2023. They are Tazneem Bhopalwala, Judy Ironside and Lyna Zaim.

The Board of Trustees administers the charity, meeting four times each year with additional sub group meetings as required (for HR, governance, finance, participation and marketing and environmental). A board away day held annually to discuss policy, strategy and future artistic activity with a particular emphasis this year for ACE’s Let’s Create Strategy, Investment Principals and VDT’s NPO application. With 3 new Trustees additional focus is being given to their induction as and all Trustees are encouraged to take up external training on offer to ensure they are fully aware of the responsibilities of trustees.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature on the financial statements were:

VINCENT DANCE THEATRE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Vincent Dance Theatre is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is New England House Unit C, Level 8 North, New England Street, Brighton, BN1 4GH.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees' continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.

Earned income is recognised when the activity relating to the income has been performed or goods have been delivered and is net of VAT.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in supplying goods and services at a charge

Charitable activities

These are costs incurred on the company's charitable operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the academy apportioned to charitable activities.

1.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.7 Financial instruments

Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in Charity's balance sheet when Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

VINCENT DANCE THEATRE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.8 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.9 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
