About us

'The ache for home lives in all of us.' Maya Angelou

Home is where our story begins. It's not always a place – it's a condition, a feeling, a sense of connection. It forms who we are and how we move through the world. Hold Tight explores the impact of separation on family relationships and how abrupt change and adverse childhood experiences impact on young people, their behaviour and sense of identity, especially children taken into care.

Building on the company's research for the production of In Loco Parentis – halted a week after the premier, mid-tour in March 2020 due to the global pandemic – Hold Tight draws parallels between the impact our experience of enforced isolation over the past two years had on family relationships and mental health with the impact that similarly abrupt changes in family circumstance have on children taken into care. Hold Tight offers an opportunity to understand how adverse childhood experiences impacts on young people, how it affects young people's behaviour and sense of identity.

With two teenagers and four adults on stage and testimonies from care-experienced young people embedded in the work, VDT's production explores home, family and belonging and considers how, when we long for intimacy and connection, sometimes we just have to Hold Tight.

Vincent 'explores the visceral emotional labour involved in surviving – and creating – home.' The Psychologist, In Loco Parentis, 2020

Directed & Designed by Charlotte Vincent
Composed by Jules Maxwell
