Milk & Cookies at the Chocolate Factory: "FAIL"

Tuesday 9 April from 7-10pm. Doors 6.30pm. 

Chocolate Factory, King's Inn Street, Dublin 1 
 
After the astounding (if somewhat chilly) success of our last show, Milk & Cookies has decided to move into the Chocolate Factory for keeps!

That's right, from now on the Milk & Cookies monthly show will be taking place at the one and only Chocolate Factory on King's Inn Street. Tell your friends!

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
~Thomas Edison

Failure is one of those things we've all experienced but nobody likes to acknowledge, like the Matrix sequels or your internet browser history. It's what separates us from Kanye West and the Kardashians. Or, wait... no that can't be right.

Milk and Cookie Stories is for anyone who has a story to tell, or wants to hear a tale told well, in a relaxed, friendly environment - a place with tea, cushions, cookies and friends. Our event is free, everyone is welcome and we welcome stories of all kinds.

This month we're looking for the kind of stories that would neatly fit into the category of *EPIC FAIL*.

Death by Choclonite 

Milk & Cookies would like to interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you some EXCITING NEWS!
For this month’s show Milk & Cookies will be taking a trip across the Liffey to the Chocolate Factory! (www.chocolatefactory.ie) It’s a new creative community developing in the old Williams & Woods building on Kings Inn Street. We’ve been there and there’s some exciting stuff going on and we decided more people need to hear about it!
What were we doing there you ask, nonchalantly – but also like you really want to know? Well I dunno… something A-MAY-ZING I GUESS! I gotta be honest, this next part makes me a little tingly… Milk & Cookie Stories is proud to announce that AFTER DARK 3 – the third in our fist-pumpingly awesome series of variety shows – will be taking place this April at the CHOCOLATE FACTORY!

Doors open 6.30pm. Show starts 7pm. 
Free admission.

Storytelling workshop for Open Learning Ireland

Saturday 2 March 2013 from 2 to 5 pm 
Seomra Spraoi (upstairs), 10 Belvedere Court, Dublin 1 

Lay your hands on the most powerful creative tools of the 21st-century bard.

Across Europe, a new bardic movement is emerging, drawing on a deep well of international tales and applying powerful dramatic techniques to bring new life to European storytelling. This workshop offers an enjoyable introduction to the new bardic art, through an afternoon of storytelling games and exercises:
Which rasa? - a game of emotional flavours
Storyboards for live tales
Whose story is it? - for liars and deceivers

Workshop facilitator Coilín "The O'Hashugh" is the prime mover in a brand new school of Irish storytelling, focused on innovation. Having studied film at the European Film College and Screenwriters Copenhagen, both in Denmark, he brings a keen appreciation of dramaturgy to his work as a storyteller. He is the founder of the Narrative Arts Club, which has been producing storytelling shows and workshops in Dublin since 2005.
