Spreading, light, love and the healing power of art to the world.
Olivia Mia Orozco Saper, choreographer, producer, and curator, attended the University of California, Santa Barbara with a BFA in dance and a minor in philosophy. Passionate about all things art related!
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.
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 at a museum in Mexico City Winter 2025.
In this work, the desert becomes a canvas onto which two bodies draw the signs of their journey. At the same time, the sand, the rocks, the light, and the vegetation become another body, flowing into an infinite river. A labyrinth where the force of the nomadic and the embrace of roots, dreams, and past meet.
"Below, the endless stones" was recorded in the Mexicali desert, an ancient territory where the Cucapah (“people of the river” in their own language) have established themselves on both sides of the border and are slowly disappearing.
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.
This project was funded by a grant from the City of Ventura.
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.
