Based on the experiences of the „West End Opera“ (world´s first Hip-
Hopera/1999). IMAL replies with a combination of pedagogical
and aesthetical methods to recognizable deficits in the educational
situation of excluded young persons (aged 16 to 27 years).
By linking social work to an artistical production we open perspectives for a professional live to workless young people. Under the guidance of artists and social workers these kids produce together musical plays and art exhibitions.
All elements of the production (beginning with the first ideas up to the
final presentation) are worked out by the kids themselves. Starting point is their own life-experience (including their very diverse cultural roots and attitudes) which is discussed in the group and condensed to an interesting theme. In the end of this long working process the result is presented on a professional level.
