Katia Petrowick trained in dance at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Danse de Paris, and in clowning at the Centre National des Arts du Cirque.
From 2009 to 2021, she choreographed and danced with the L’Embellie Musculaire company, performing in the children’s shows “CoNg COng CoNG”, “Pull Over” and “Jogging” alongside puppeteer Ombline de Benque. Since 2007, she has also collaborated with choreographers and directors in France, Belgium and Canada. In 2016, she joined the DACM/Gisèle Vienne company, performing in “I Apologize, This Is How You Will Disappear” (revival), “Crowd” and EXTRA LIFE. In 2019, she joined the dance and hypnosis research group led by Catherine Contour, focusing on ‘Danser Brut’. She graduated from the Body-Mind Centering® training programme in 2021, becoming a somatic educator through movement. She will continue her studies from 2025 to 2027 to become a practitioner. She shares her BMC® practice with various audiences, notably through the weekly “Dansons Ici” workshop, which takes place in her local area of Plateau de Millevaches in Creuse. In 2023, she began researching BMC® and KRUMP in collaboration with Vincent Dupuy, Maya Masse (aka Feelingz) and Julien Adjovi (aka Wrestler), with the aim of creating a dialogue between the two practices through the joy of encounter. That same year, she met the choreographer and anthropologist Sylvie Balestra for her 4x4 project: an outdoor creative laboratory.
In the 2026/27 season, she will perform in Gisèle Vienne’s ARCHIVES OF FEELINGS at the Schauspielhaus Zürich.
