We Won the Folkwang Prize 2026!

We are absolutely thrilled to share that we – Alexandra Entenmann and Fine Kroke (Schatz&Schatz GbR) in collaboration with Cynthia Cosima Erhardt – have been awarded the Folkwang Prize 2026 in the Performing Arts category!

The prize honours our Physical Theatre Artist Diploma Schatz&Schatz at Folkwang University of the Arts.

We’re also delighted that, likewise in the Performing Arts category, our fellow student Selma-Lou Haß is being honoured for her ensemble piece Cocoon.

About the Folkwang Prize

The Folkwang Prize has been awarded annually since 1958 by the Society of Friends and Patrons of Folkwang University of the Arts (GFFF), recognising outstanding emerging artists of the university. Its very first recipient, in 1958, was none other than Pina Bausch.
