DANCE ON! a new film on ARTE TV

For many, aging is a sensitive subject, but for dancers, an even more delicate one, considering the enormous toll on their bodies from years of extreme physical exertion. Friedemann is pleased to have the chance in this new ARTE documentary “Dance On!” to share his perspective on dancing into his forties, his appreciation of how the experience that comes with age can enrich one’s artistry, and his conviction - which keeps him going – that the best is yet to come. 

“Dance On!”, in which Friedemann is featured as one of the protagonists alongside Polina Semionova, William Moore, and Gesine Moog, will premiere on ARTE on 20th November.

Friedemann is incredibly honoured to be receiving the prestigious award for "Outstanding Performer" at the 2020 German Dance Prize. The Dachverband Tanz Deutschland (German Dance Association) has lauded him for his longstanding and illustrious international career, and as a unique dance interpreter, with his exceptional combination of intense emotional portrayals and excellent technique. The announcement of this great honour has given Friedemann renewed motivation and strength to continue finding new ways to reach audiences at this challenging time. He is looking forward to seeing everyone at the prize ceremony in October in Essen, and to hopefully sharing the stage with colleagues to do what is so important to them all: to perform live for the audience again.
