John Cranko Prize for Friedemann Vogel

Friedemann is very honoured to receive the John Cranko Prize, on the occasion of his 25th anniversary celebrations at the Stuttgart Ballet. This prestigious prize is awarded to personalities in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the legendary choreographer's work. With this latest accolade, Friedemann joins the ranks of past and present artistic directors of the Stuttgart Ballet, such as Marcia Haydée, Reid Anderson, and Tamas Detrich, as well as the late principal dancer Heinz Clauss, whom Friedemann will portray in the upcoming "Cranko" biopic by Joachim Lang.

Friedemann has always relished being involved in the creative process, and his first collaboration with the Swedish choreographer Johan Inger is extra invigorating, as Friedemann will be revisiting the familiar role of “Prince Désiré”, but with a comedic twist in Johan’s fresh, funny, and contemporary take on the classic fairy tale “The Sleeping Beauty”. Friedemann will be dancing in the world premiere of “Aurora’s Nap” at the Stuttgart Ballet on 25 February, with more performance dates to be announced.
