Milis, meaning sweet in Irish, is an intergenerational workshop that takes place over two days, Friday 14th and Saturday 15th October.  Facilitated by Crooked House theatre-makers Peter Hussey and Oğuzhan Şahin, and filmmaker Mohammad Farajalla, Milis invites members of community to get involved in a unique opportunity, full of fun and intrigue, no experience needed.

The workshop invites older and younger members of the community to develop stories, find unique perspectives about each generation, and share them in the form of filmed vignettes.  Over the two days participants will actively collaborate with theatre makers in activities that help them make short performances, monologues and narratives from their experiences, opinions and ideas. The pieces will then be filmed as theatrical vignettes and following post production they will available to view on the festival platforms.

Crooked House makes theatre mostly for, by and with young people in County Kildare with international artists. It uses theatre to help young people find their way in the world, to explore their own identity and their values, and to develop key social skills that enhance resilience. While good theatre-making with young people can contribute to personal and social growth in these areas, the artform has the power to nurture creative and expressive artists. Crooked House projects range from workshops and productions to performances of new plays devised by the members, and trips and exchanges to other European youth theatres.
