Saharla Vetsch and Helen Wicks are a dynamic duo that, since 2022, use physical expression and articulate movement to connect with diverse and multigenerational audiences. The two use aerial dance as a form to blend their individual styles in drag, physical theater, clowning, contemporary dance, and acrobatics. The collaboration aims to expand the hearts and minds of their audiences through joy, nuance, and spectacle.
Premiered at the 2024 San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival by Zaccho Dance Theatre.
Florescence
An installation dance piece created by Saharla Vetsch & Ciarra D’Onofrio. The piece explores surveillance of queer bodies, and how everyone performs for others in ways that aren’t necessarily authentic to our internal desires. The performers grapple with the expectations that come with being witnessed in public and private spaces, and how our queer bodies develop and hold movement patterns in order to navigate this world.
Premiered at the Tenderloin Arts Festival, at Counter Pulse, April 2023.
