Thomas Lempertz

Thomas Lempertz is a German visual artist, choreographer, and costume designer, whose practice is firmly rooted in dance.
Following a successful career as a soloist at the Stuttgart Ballet, he launched a fashion studio and received a 2011 “New Faces Award Fashion” nomination for creations inspired by haute couture and dance costumes. Since 2013, Lempertz has collaborated
with renowned choreographers, merging traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation in his costume design.
His wide-ranging interests led Lempertz to further his studies in Intermedia Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart from 2015
to 2017, where he currently teaches art and movement workshops. As a visual artist, he creates work with an emphasis on performance installations, and has had solo exhibitions including “Liquid Skin” (2019), “Motion is Solution” (2021) and “Fluid Gravity”
(2023).

In recent years, Lempertz also developed his choreographic work, with recent highlights including “Not in my hands” (2021), “Soul
Threads” (2024), and “Ecorché Anatomie des Tanzes” (2024), which he co-created with ballet dancer Friedemann Vogel.
