Kreative Schreibexpedition durch die Lehr- und Schaugärten und das Tropenhaus der HSRW Kleve

Im Herbst 2022 waren sie schon einmal mit Stift und Papier in Tropenhaus, Lehr- und Schaugärten, im Frühling wollten sie wiederkommen. Jetzt lösten die Studierenden aus der Kreativen Schreibwerkstatt zusammen mit Dozentin Renate Schmitz-Gebel ihr Versprechen ein: Am 3. Juni 2023 konnte Sandra Neumann die schreibfreudige Gruppe bei wolkenlosem Himmel begrüßen und ihr viele spannende Informationen zu einzelnen Pflanzen, Tieren und Forschungsvorhaben geben.

Dabei kamen Wörter wie Wunderbeere, Scheinstamm, Tellerkraut, Bogenhanf, Bittergurke, Touch-me-not-Plant, Bienenfreund, Duftpfad oder Sandarium zur Sprache, die sofort in den Köpfen zu sprießen begannen und Samen für Geschichten legten.

Nach dieser gelungenen Einführung schrieben die Studierenden mit ihren Stiften los. Sie ließen sich vom überbordenden Wachstum in dieser Jahreszeit inspirieren, erfanden Biografien zu einzelnen Gewächsen und brachten Pflanzen-Beschreibungen in kurze lyrische Formen. Mimose, Kakaopflanze und Avocado wurden poetische Rondelle gewidmet.

The Creative Writing Workshop visits the artist´s workroom of the stone sculptor Christoph Wilmsen-Wiegmann

On April 15, 2023, the students partaking the Creative Writing Workshop on the faculty of Society and Economics together with their lecturer Renate Schmitz-Gebel visited Christoph Wilmsen-Wiegmann´s artist´s workroom lying amidst meadows and fields. Here in Kalkar-Appeldorn the well-known stone sculptor is working for 40 years. Just like Christoph Wilmsen-Wiegmann delicately opens stones to make them permeable for light and glances, the people opened themselves on that day by writing, listening, and speaking in many different languages and showed themselves as permeable for new experience, feelings, and exchange.
