Highlighting the various trades involved in the creation of choreographic gesture is a key aspect of Aina Alegre and Yannick Hugron's project for the Centre chorégraphique national. In 2025 and 2026, they have chosen to support Jan Fedinger, visual artist and lighting designer, to underline the collective dynamic that underpins all artistic creation.

Jan Fedinger is originally from Germany. He works in a variety of media, with light as his principal medium. His work includes performance installations, lighting creations for the stage, performances, photographs and drawings.

Jan Fedinger's work has been presented in Europe and elsewhere in the context of theater and visual art. His artistic approach is characterized by the search for and creation of territories and experiences never before known, but always already dreamed of.

Alongside his personal work, he has collaborated with artists such as Aina Alegre, Jan Martens, Jefta van Dinther, Daniel Linehan, Aitana Cordero, Thiago Granato and Alban Richard.

Jan is co-founder of Reflecting Light, a research group of international light designers that aims to formulate and map the growing role of light in the performing arts. Since 2021, this research has been integrated into KASK, the Royal School of the Arts in Ghent, Belgium.

Jan Fedinger is associate artist at the Centre chorégraphique national de Grenoble (2025-2026).
