For their winter semester 2024/2025, the University of Tübingen Collaborative Research Centre will be welcoming Friedemann Vogel as an associate member and long-term partner for their “Other Aesthetics” programme, to address the questions “Why does art move us? What do we mean by aesthetics? What does art do in and for our society?” – marking another exciting “first” for the world ballet star this season.

In addition to teaching joint courses with the spokesperson of the Research Centre, Professor Annette Gerok-Reiter and the deputy spokesperson Professor Anna Pawlak, Friedemann will be involved in a workshop to develop and analyse movement sequences together with students and researchers from multiple disciplines.

The recording of “Écorché! Anatomy of Dance” – a special performance Friedemann gave and conceptualized with choreographer Thomas Lempertz and Professor Pawlak to launch the collaboration in March in the Alte Anatomie of the University – is now available to watch as a short film online: University of Tübingen Collaborative Research Centre
