Creative Minds Collaborative

CMC is a non-profit organization, established by Nao Kusuzaki (former Soloist dancer with Houston Ballet) in 2016, in order to cultivate cultural understanding between Houston’s diverse communities and their artists. We achieve this through creation and presentation of collaborative and educational performing art projects.
