Spring Soirée

Witnessing a slim ratio of opportunity per number of females in the dance industry, Victoria Brown and Sarah Rodenhouse founded MashUp Contemporary Dance Company in 2010 to provide more avenues for women in dance to be heard and seen. This commitment to uplift female-identifying artists of all cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds is the company’s strong anchor.Leading with core values of empowerment, creativity, community, diversity, and innovation, the company aims to embody and exemplify inspirational, inclusive leadership and collaboration within the arts, spark conversation around inclusive, intersectional feminist idealogies; democratize the creative process; and work towards a more equitable future for the dance industry and beyond.Since its founding, MashUp has been privileged to work with over 350 women artists. The company has produced 8 full-length works, performed throughout Los Angeles County, and toured at several national festivals. Currently, the company sustains 5 core annual programs - an International Women’s Day Dance Festival, a Choreographic Residency for a mid-career artist, donation-based Open Company Classes, after-school dance programming, and an event commemorating National Women’s Equality Day.MashUp is committed to cultivating a collaborative, inspirational community that is welcoming to all female-identifying artists and allies; to serving as a space for female-identifying artists to be uplifted, mid-career artists to receive support, and early-career dancers to have accessible opportunities to train and grow; and to providing arts engagement opportunities for people of varying backgrounds, cultures, experiences, races, abilities, and socio-economic statuses to celebrate and participate in the wealth of thought and creativity that female-identifying artists bring.As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, MashUp relies on the generous support of individuals and corporations to continue developing original works and meaningful programming that prioritizes innovation, collaboration, and inclusion.
