Seehaus-Session

Creative freedom can give particularly positive impulses to young people who have committed crimes. This has been proven by the great success of the SKOhr projects "Himmel über Adelsheim". Motivated by this experience, the SKO has conceived the Seehaus sessions for the current season in cooperation with Seehaus e. V.

"We give our souls for the project." (Prison inmate from Adelsheim, participant in "Himmel über Adelsheim" 2024)

Creative freedom can give particularly positive impulses to young offenders. This was proven by the great success of the SKOhr projects "Himmel über Adelsheim" 2022 and 2024. Motivated by this experience, the SKO has designed the Seehaus sessions for the current season in cooperation with Seehaus e. V. Young prisoners from the Seehaus in Leonberg, together with SKO musicians, a choreographer, the sculptor and performance artist Thomas Putze and the Weil im Schönbuch Young String Orchestra, embark on an exciting workshop process lasting several months. In the intensive sessions, the participants translate what moves them into various forms of expression. Linda Buckley's flowing sounds from "Fall approaches" are the starting point and anchor. Movement, music and visual art ultimately result in a small Gesamtkunstwerk, which is shown at a public performance in the "Herz" of the Stuttgart City Library.
