Saharla Vetch (she/her) is a Somali American multidisciplinary artist rooted in the Bay Area. Saharla earned a degree in Performing Arts and Social Justice from the University of San Francisco. Her focus is on movement storytelling using elements of vertical dance, drag, and spectacle. Saharla’s teaching and performances encourage and celebrate the intersecting identities that make up who we are. She does this in the spaces of queer nightlife entertainment, multigenerational dance education, and through collaborative dance performances. She creates work that fosters community & connection using physical comedy, high-camp energy, and infectious joy. Saharla strives to be a beacon of self-expression, harnessing the liberating power of dance to ignite the same sense of freedom in others. This is Saharla’s first project with MLD. ~ Instagram: @ThatsSoMajor
