Abstract
I know that this sounds like a romantic musing over the role of the solitary artist, but it is true and utterly real. The work (like living) offers much resistance and short spells of flow, lust and light, a wind that blows in all by itself and dispels all doubt. Suddenly work (life) offers a most intense presence in the moment and absolute calm. A short while... It is so wonderful and worth it all! Has this something to do with “good”, with the inkling of having conquered something of importance? What makes it so fantastic that I can identify it as “good”? Is it correct to think “good” as a criterion for quality? Can others also see this as a qualitative step forward and not just hype on a market infatuated with stardom? What makes art “good”? Some see the market as the basic judge of quality, the primary definition of what is “good”. What sells best is best. Others hold a different view.

Some time ago I asked a number of colleagues what criteria they see as relevant for the evaluation of artistic quality in their own works
Summary
Some time ago I asked a number of colleagues (choreographers) what criteria they see as relevant for the evaluation of artistic quality in their own works. In the artistic process the work gnaws on and inside its own being. I know that this sounds like a romantic musing over the role of the solitary artist, but it is true and utterly real. The work (like living) offers much resistance and short spells of flow, lust and light, a wind that blows in all by itself and dispels all doubt.
