Carmen Volpe is a Berlin-based dance therapist, performing artist, and dance teacher whose work bridges body, mind, and society.
She began dancing at five in Italy and turned professional in 2004, earning the State Diploma of Maestra di danza classica e moderna.
Her journey has taken her from classical and contemporary stages in Naples and Rome to an Erasmus scholarship in Spain, where she explored diverse artistic projects and joined the Enclave contemporary dance collective.
In Berlin, she deepened her practice through the "Seneca Intensive" at Dock11, a dance therapy Ausbildung at Campus Naturalis, and a dance teaching and choreography certification at UdK.
Carmen has performed in collaborations with various choreographers, including Anna Collod, Nadja Raszewski, Till Schmidt Rimpler, and the physical theater company inback, and as an actress in the Winter Show of Cavalluna. Since 2023, she has also embraced stand-up comedy, performing with the Spanish-speaking collective in Berlin.
As a dance therapist at Evangelisches Krankenhaus Berlin, she brings movement, creativity, and presence into therapeutic spaces. Her artistic mission is to take art and creativity where it is often absent, engaging with mental health and social themes.
Carmen is also an active member of the Moving Poets association, where she develops both social and artistic projects.
