commitment
Milla & Interests
Beyond our commercially oriented activities, we also invest our expertise in supporting a wide variety of artists, social projects and social movements. We do this because we’re grateful for our inspiring environment, because we’re always open to meaningful projects, because we’re passionate, and also because we’re convinced it’s the right thing to do.

Produktionszentrum Tanz (Dance Production Center)
Johannes Milla is honorary chairman of the "Produktionszentrums Tanz und Performance e.V." (Dance Production Center). The Production Center is a training, rehearsals and advisory center as well as a project initiator. Its objective is to be a contact point for all independent dancers, choreographers and stage designers in Stuttgart and surroundings, to present their productions to the public and to support new talent. The Production Center clearly fills a need in Stuttgart’s and Baden-Württemberg’s cultural landscape.

Mädchen.Machen.Medien (Girls.Making.Media)
Together with SWR broadcasting and the Stuttgart National Theatre, Milla & Partner supported the "Mädchen.Machen.Medien" project – in English ‘Girls.Making.Media’. The project was initiated by the LAGAYA Addiction and Youth Support Organisation in Stuttgart, is aided by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Social Affairs and serves girls’ and young women’s career orientation.
Ten girls between 16 and 19 years of age, supervised by a female art director from Milla & Partner, have developed a poster campaign against the misuse of alcohol among youths. From initial brainstorming through to a photographic shoot and graphic design, the girls had an opportunity to try out a variety of career profiles – in a very unusual constellation: as agency representatives and target group members at the same time. http://lagaya.de/Projekte.147.0.html
