What?
Hate 2 Love Collective (H2LC) is a new not-for-profit British theatre and performance production company designed to explore extreme hate and love. Without ever mentioning these two words in our shows.
We were formed to push, promote and platform hidden, emerging and existing talent and creators under hardship.
Our tag line is "Broken Hearts Create Beautiful Arts".
Our Committee is made up of talented creatives around the world, struggling under complex multiple disadvantages. They can be black, white, asian, bi-racial, working class, foreigners, refugees and also be facing physical and mental health issues. Our cast and crew for our shows come from all walks of lives. Young adults to single mothers to the homeless, disabled.
H2LC is an umbrella home for hidden talent - even if they have never done drama before.
Founder of H2LC is British Actress Yasmin Choudhury, CEO of Lovedesh. Herself a single mother under hardship, she struggled to save her successful acting career. Unable to attend auditions due to lack of funding. She gave up.
She is running two campaigns to support creative community - #ArtsTheft and #BrokeArt. As copyright and poverty are key barriers to preventing creatives under hardship from achieving successful professional careers.
Co-founder is Amelia Parillon, a London based black creative. Who is passionate about bringing true diversity into the world. Not just platitudes.
While co-founder Aura Isis, a Spanish Creative is keen to inspire more arts to consider foreign inclusion and language into mainstream arts.
Deputy Co-founder Dean Fletcher is passionate about including more white working class actors.
Key goals are to smash artistic barriers.
Yasmin is working to bring more global talent and platform talent with no formal drama training.
