Shared?
Following its highly acclaimed, sold out premiere in Belfast last year Partisan Production in collaboration with Clanmil Housing are delighted to present the play SHARED?
Shared? follows a colourful cast of characters living in and near by to a shared housing association development where a rumour has been circulating and the local Neighbourhood App has taken a very odd turn. Meet these neighbours from different countries, classes and cultures as their worlds begin to combine and collide.
One of them is Emma, a single working mother, she has “earned” enough “points” to move into a new flat in a shared neighbourhood on the leafy side of town. But what’s the point in a point system when the teenage party girl downstairs, the one with the social worker, doesn’t seem to care that some people have to work long hours? All Emma really wants is to spend time with her 14 year old daughter who has developed some issues of her own.
Watch the scenes as a host of community members cross wires and cross paths in a bid to belong
My World Is Made to Share
30th years and looking to the future; – Women’s stories of resilience, tears and laughter.
One surprising feature of these films is that they emerged out of the long months of Covid 19 lockdown, so we worked within safety restrictions.
Yet despite being socially distanced, a strong sense of friendship developed between the women over the course of the project.
Secondly, the scripts were created from real life stories, recorded in group discussions, but the lines were allocated randomly making the experience of women from different communities and backgrounds something shared and more powerful for that.
This is also a tribute to the late Jo Egan for her contribution to good relations and bringing people together
Minimal Human Contact by Naoise Ó Cairealláin 5
Minimal Human Contact is a bi-lingual production with a focus on a hugely disabling condition, in large part hidden from view, that has touched many lives in our communities and is largely perceived to be affecting the male population.
This one man show delves deep into the world of compulsive gambling to produce cathartic results. Gritty, intense and in Irish, this new play is written by Naoise Ó Cairealllán, award-winning rapper Moglaí Bap.
This insightful and painful story connects with those suffering from the condition, offering a glimpse into a very dark alternative world yet holding the space for a remarkable outcome.
An outcome that challenges the usual downward spiral in most addictive conditions and is largely influenced, in this instance, by the interventions of close family members and by a singular and tenacious counselling service who went over and above, in assisting their client to handle his addiction.
This is a story told in the Irish language of a new generation particular to West Belfast, a language that is vital, urban and authentic. This is a Belfast story both in content and in the manner and the language of its telling, yet has a subject matter that strikes a universal tone.

Community Relations Council Media Grant Awards Film Launch
The Community Relations Council is delighted to host a launch event for two new films supported through its Media Grants Scheme.
The two 15-minute films have been produced by two emerging films makers Diana Cheung and Ross McClean respectively and aim to give an insight into the diversity of communities that call Northern Ireland their home. The event also includes input from Christine Morrow from Northern Ireland Screen and Martin McDonald Chairman of the Community Relations Council.
In partnership with Northern Ireland Screen, Diana Cheung’s film “Northern Chirish” is a short documentary film about the Chinese-Irish (Chirish) community from the perspective of the 2nd generation and explores the themes of culture and identity, sense of belonging, racism and immigration.
Ross McClean has produced a short film which follows the friendship of a group of young amateur boxers from distinct cultural backgrounds living in East Belfast. The film follows the young people as they prepare for an upcoming fight and gives witness to how sport can break down cultural differences and barriers.
The event will give the opportunity to see the completed films, to hear from the film makers and for a short Q&A session about the issues their films give voice to.
Starting at 10am and finishing with lunch, this is an exciting event to showcase the two film makers’ work.
Tickets available on Eventbrite or by contacting Paul Killen on pkillen@nicrc.org.uk
