Part of the reason I gravitate to queer arts spaces is because they have brilliant arts disruptors like Dorian Dietrich …
As a performer, MC, and producer I have had the pleasure of working with Dorian Dietrich for several years now. I jump at the chance of performing or helping with their shows any opportunity I get. I also love being an audience member when they perform and MC.
Watching Dorian perform is a treat, as I never know what they will bring to the stage. A slow burn song and tease? A comically charismatic dance? An act steeped in nerd lore that I can’t get out of my head? They are enthralling to witness.
As a producer and MC Dorian has always gone out of their way to make everyone comfortable, to be inclusionary, and continue to learn and grow as we all are trying to do.
It’s been a privilege to work with them and watch their career over the years. I highly recommend.

As a professional photographer with years of experience capturing diverse people and subjects, I had the distinct pleasure of working with Dorian Dietrich during two modeling shoots and witnessing one of her self-produced burlesque shows. Dorian exudes an incredible charisma and confidence that instantly draws you in, making her a dream subject to photograph. Her ability to embody various characters, whether still posing for the camera or being fluid on stage, elevated the events, allowing me to capture stunning, dynamic shots as well as enjoy a unique theater show that truly reflect her artistry. Dorian's passion for her craft is evident, and her professionalism makes collaboration effortless. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to experience the magic of burlesque through either photography, performance, or both.

Dorian is a wonderful community builder and event manager. I’m so glad the Bay Area has them working in our entertainment industry.
