Carla Petzolt is a contemporary dancer, performer, choreographer, teacher, and pedagogue. Her practice unfolds through collaboration across dance, acrobatics, performance, and visual arts.

Her work explores the body as a site of social and political inquiry. She engages with questions of vulnerability, vertigo, care, and militarism, examining how power is embodied and resisted. Her recent work 'Manufaktur Caring' investigates power and powerlessness within patriarchal systems. Alongside her artistic practice, she is actively involved in a solidarity network among artists, KunstKartell e.V.
