Stephan Herwig ist keiner, dessen Kunst laut schreit oder voller Pop-Appeal um Zugänglichkeit buhlt.
Genau diese Ruhe aber, mit der er seit 2006 durchgehend Stücke produziert und seine eigene Ästhetik weiterentwickelt, setzt ein wohltuendes und nötiges Zeichen, in einer Welt, in der derzeit an allen Ecken eher zu laut geschrien wird. Auszug aus der Jurybegründung zur Vergabe des Förderpreises für Tanz 2018 der Stadt München an Stephan Herwig. |
Stephan Herwig is not someone whose art screams or vies for accessibility with pop appeal. But it is precisely this calmness – with which he has been producing pieces consistently since 2006 while developing his own aesthetics – that sets a relieving and necessary sign in a world in which there is currently too much screaming going on from all sides.
Excerpt from the jury judgement on the awarding of the Förderpreises für Tanz 2018 of the city of Munich to Stephan Herwig. |
