I have spent my whole life training as a dancer and have always been choreographing. Born into a dancing family, I was encouraged to pursue dance professionally and have worked in NYC, LA, and Mexico with many artists. Please reach out if you are looking for a choreographer.
I have been making innovative dance films and documentaries for several years. I also work as a freelance producer and AD for commercials. I was the director of the Los Angeles Dance Shorts Film Festival for five years.
Performative Pop-ups bridges the gap between communities and spaces to transform the art landscape. For several years I ran an art gallery in Hollywood, Radiant Space and am now have a project called Performative Pop-Ups to continue to bring events to new locations. I work with individual artists to connect their work to new audiences and collectors.
Join us for this exciting one-day modern dance performance in beautiful historic downtown Ventura. Follow dancers through new pathways and engage with the rich history of Ventura. This traveling performance will take the audience on a short walk through several iconic landmarks of Ventura. Performances are from 1:00 pm to 1:25 pm and 3:00 pm to 3:25 pm.
This performance draws inspiration from the tiled fountains, the ancestors of this region, and the gigantic Morteon Fig tree. Similar to the tile pieces, it is only as a whole that we see the unique work of art we all make through our interconnectedness as a society. The goal of this performance is to highlight our differences and what brings us together as a whole to form a community. The ancient Egyptians believed the roots of the fig tree represented the past, the trunk the present, and the leaves and branches the future. Join us on a contemplative walking meditative experience as we witness professional dancers guide us on this journey.
Directed and produced by the founder of Performative Pop-ups, Olivia Mia Orozco Saper with choreography and movement made with the dancers: Jade Barth, Melanie Bizzoco, and Nina Lemus.

After eating her spicy food the dancer gets hotter and hotter by the moment and needs to cool off. Shot around nostalgic parts of Los Angeles where I grew up. 818 pays homage to my 90s childhood and hometown. It was amazing to receive this honor to be the choreographer for a film in my hometown.
This film was made possible by a commission from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Many thanks to DCA's Performing Arts Division, the Los Angeles Dance Worker Coalition, and City of Los Angeles Council District 2 and Council District 3 for their generous support.
Screening April 21st at 8:30pm at the Los Angeles Dance Festival
Have you noticed the curling of the Marah macrocarpa's (wild cucumber) vines? Twisting and turning across space to grow? Or the cycle of a California Buckwheat flower, from pink bud to rusty chaff? The expression of a plant's life is a constant dance with itself and the environment. Join dancer and choreographer Mia Orozco in the TPF gardens to deepen your relationship to California native plants through dance.
Everyone can learn through movement! This is a class for all ranges, no prior experience necessary. The goal is to practice and embody a language without words. This class will take place across various parts of the TPF gardens inspired by the plants, geography, wildlife and self-expression. Involving individual and group work, with time for reflection and sharing, we ask that students come ready to move and dance!
Please wear closed-toed shoes, bring water and dress for weather. This class involves moving on a steep, uneven path.
For children 12 years old and up.

This was a wonderful opportunity where I got to show artwork by Gustavo Oviedo and BG gallery at an event celebrating Fluf world Nfts. We created a beautiful in-person experience with physical art and performances. I was also able to bring in Plain Jane and The Mushroom Latte as sponsors as well as various press and art industry attendees.
