L.INC: Love an Introduction
“Feeling disconnected from what you want, need and desire? L:Inc invites you to an exclusive open day. Come and meet our trainers, coaches and staff who believe that although love is complex it isn’t impossible to understand.”
This interactive, immersive theatre piece was the result of a ten week devising process in Collaboration with Joseph Thorpe, Natalie Scott, Antigoni Spanou and Joe Iredale of The Lab Collective. Presented as a company open day to residents of Sidcup, the piece told the story of Love Incorporated, a company dealing with love, relationships and success. Throughout their interactions, the audiences learned of a division within the company; a division between the old company mantras of the 60s and the driven, goal orientated spirit of the new company members. The piece culminated in a debate between the benefits of loving those around us and the importance of putting yourself at the centre of your own world. The audience chose who they hated more: a hedonist or a hippy.
