Ana Kamien (Buenos Aires, 1935) studied classical dance from the age of three. In the late 1950s, she took classes with Renate Schottelius and, in 1961, with Maria Fux – an instance of her training that she considers a hinge for her understanding and continuity in modern dance. After finishing school, she joined a bank as a secretary and continued her training as a dancer. In Fux’s classes she met Marilú Marini and, in Schottelius’s, Graciela Martínez. In mid-1963 she was summoned by Martínez to be part of Danza Actual, a group with which she made several presentations. Together with Marilú Marini she performed the works Danse Bouquet, La fiesta, hoy and Oh! She is a chaste diva at the Audiovisual Experimentation Center of the Torcuato Di Tella Institute. From the 70s onwards she dedicated herself to performing her own choreographies as a soloist and teaching classes in her studio in the San Telmo neighborhood, which she shared with her husband, Leone Sonnino, a photographer.
