Creative Minds Collaborative

Creative Minds Collaborative (CMC) is a nonprofit organization based in Houston, Texas, founded by Nao Kusuzaki to foster cultural understanding between the city's diverse communities and their artists, particularly through the rich culture of Japan. The organization achieves its mission by creating and presenting collaborative and educational performing arts projects and workshops that emphasize the interconnectedness of cultural stories and traditions.

CMC partners with the Houston Public Library for events like CamphART 2024 and has showcased various artists in past projects, including dancers, choreographers, and musicians. Their recent work, "Meiji Dances," choreographed by Kusuzaki, explores themes of tradition versus modernity and cultural identity, reflecting the integration of Western influences within Japanese heritage.
