Jule Flierl is an artist from Berlin/Germany who works with choreography and the voice. Using choreography and somatic singing methods, her scores unsettle the relationship between seeing and hearing: what you see is not always what you hear, and what you hear is not always what you see.

Jule is fascinated how conceptions of the body change over time and that the voice as a technology of the self always finds new relations to the body. She asks herself how the baroque Bel-Canto voice would inhabit the gestures of romantic ballet (Operation Orpheus 2016), how the anti propaganda of Valeska Gert’s dancing tones in the Weimar Republic would have sounded (Störlaut 2018) and how to choreograph the separation of body image and vocal sound of Katalin Ladik’s avant-garde performances in Yugoslavia (U.F.O. 2021). Flierl collaborates with choreographer Antonia Baehr “Die Hörposaune” live / film (2022) and ChoreoVocalist artist Irena Z. Tomažin “U.F.O. - Hommage to Katalin Ladik” (2021). Her group choreographies “School of Attunement and Tactlessness” (2022), “Time out of Joint” (2023) and "Inner Mining" (2025) develop grotesk bodies and dissonant collectives. Recently, she collaborated with queer underground Pop-Icon Camille O for the duet in an immersive space-harp "tIED tO tONES" (2025).
Her work was featured at Szene Salzburg 2022/2023, Impulstanz Vienna 2021/2018/2016, Tanzplattform Munich 2020, Steirischer Herbst Graz 2019, NEXT Valencienne 2018, Legs/La Raffinerie Brussels 2018/2021 and Rencontres Chorégraphiques Paris 2018, La Panacée Montpellier 2016, Tanztage Berlin 2016 amongst others.

In 2019 she received the award for best choreography at the Solo Choreografico Festival Frankfurt am Main for “Dissociation Study” and 2023 her duet "U.F.O. - Hommage to Katalin Ladik received the price of the international jury at the GIBANICA Festival Ljubljana for the best Slovenian dance piece.
