Witnessing a slim ratio of opportunity per number of females in the dance industry in Los Angeles, 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. On a mission to uplift female-identifying artists and build community through dance, MashUp has worked with over 300 women artists, produced 7 full-length works and 4 dance films, performed throughout Los Angeles County, and toured at several national festivals. Currently, the company sustains 7 programs, in addition to community performances, education residencies, an award given to honor exemplary women leaders in LA Dance, and other events. Leading with core values of empowerment, creativity, community, diversity, and innovation, MashUp aims to embody and exemplify inspirational, inclusive leadership and collaboration within the arts, spark conversation around intersectional feminist ideologies; democratize the creative process; and work towards a more equitable future for the dance industry and beyond.
