“A respected cultural ambassador for his country, he has at the same time greatly influenced the German dance scene.

In Friedemann Vogel, we honour an outstanding performer whose unparalleled drive reflects not only an ardent desire to perfect classical ballet but also the motivation to keep discovering new facets in all forms of dance.” The jury for the 2020 German Dance Prize

Kammertänzer & Stuttgart Ballet principal dancer Friedemann Vogel will be receiving the award for “Outstanding Performer” at the prestigious German Dance Prize this year, which will take place in Essen in October.

A WORLD STAR MADE IN STUTTGART

“The jury for the award writes: ‘Only a few male ballet dancers of his generation have such a constant artistic career and can look back on a comparable international career. He has been a member of the Stuttgart Ballet for over 20 years and is now a world star. ”

“Most recently his role in "Mayerling" in the new Kenneth MacMillan production in Stuttgart last season was outstanding; a representation and presence that finally overcame the boundaries between dance and psychodrama.”  Stuttgarter Zeitung
