Friedemann Vogel by Kosmas Pavlos
Winning the Prix de Lausanne in 1997 was a life-changing moment for Friedemann, and being invited to be a jury member for this prestigious competition in 2022 was an absolute honour. Friedemann couldn’t be more pleased to perform at the very special 50th anniversary gala together with so many illustrious colleagues on 5th February 2023 at the Beaulieu Theatre.
Friedemann is delighted to announce that the documentary "FRIEDEMANN VOGEL - Verkörperung des Tanzes" will premiere on 10th April 2020 on German TV channel SWR and on the ARD Media Channel. With the "Dancer of the Year" constantly on the move, the 60-minute portrait by Katja Trautwein provides a dynamic insight into Friedemann's daily life, which revolves around rehearsals, performances, fashion shoots, and of course, travelling across the globe to dance on some of the world's most prestigious stages, in Stuttgart, Berlin, Stockholm, Moscow and Tokyo.
