WHO is CAM?

 

With decades of experience in the studios, schools, and theaters of Cuba, Suki and her partners have worked extensively with artists, professors, writers and performers across the island.  

 

CAM creates civilized adventures. We have traveled and worked in Cuba since the 1970s through today.

 

Cuban Arts Match associates have authored books, led tours, produced music, ballets, concerts, films, painting and sculpture. Suki’s well-received book, Contemporary Dance in Cuba: Técnica Cubana as Revolutionary Movement (McFarland Press, 2012) is the first to describe the Cuban contemporary dance technique now taking the world by storm. Her book s recounts a whirlwind experience of living and working with Cuban artists in good times and bad.
