What are traditional gender roles and feminine traits? As modern women, which of these do we connect to and which do we not? How does this knowledge of who we are add to the discussion about equality between genders?

Premiering July 16th, 17th, 23rd, and 24th 2016, MashUp Contemporary Dance Company’s Intrinsic Motivation focuses on exploring our position as women in a modern society. We will be using our space and dancers to their fullest potential as we analyze the complexity of a woman’s function and redefine traditional gender roles. Follow nine women as they journey through this labyrinth of self exploration, and gain a sense of empowerment that contributes to the conversation of gender equality.
