Unleashing Creativity: The Power of Performance Arts at CrEd Windhoek Namibia
At CrEd Windhoek, we believe that every child possesses a spark of creativity that, when nurtured, can illuminate their world. Our commitment to developing 21st Century skills—communication, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration—is evident through our engaging drama and musical theatre classes. Accredited by Trinity College London, we’re proud to provide a platform for children from kindergarten through high school to explore their talents and express themselves artistically.
A Journey Through Performance Arts
From the early years at Pooh’s Corner Kindergarten to the dynamic programmes at St. Paul’s School, our curriculum is designed to inspire children at every age. Our Saturday classes at Klein Windhoek Guesthouse further extend this opportunity, providing a vibrant space for creativity to flourish. With a range of dramatic techniques and musical activities, we equip our students with skills that extend far beyond the stage.
Whether they’re performing a classic play, creating original improvisations, or participating in group musical numbers, the children build not just their artistic skills but also their confidence and ability to work as a team. These classes are more than just lessons; they are transformative experiences that offer lifelong benefits, helping children navigate challenges with grace and resilience.
The Importance of Performance Arts
Incorporating performance arts into education is crucial for holistic child development. As celebrated Namibian writer and poet, Nikki Wangala, observes, “Arts education allows us to explore the world from different perspectives, nurturing empathy and understanding in the hearts of our youth.” This perspective is echoed by prominent Namibian musician, Big Ben, who says, “Music and theatre are universal languages. They teach our children to express their feelings and share their stories.”
These sentiments highlight the essential role that arts play in developing emotional intelligence, providing children with tools to articulate their thoughts and feelings effectively.

Our programmes are designed not just to teach performance skills, but to foster self-expression and confidence, allowing students to navigate life’s challenges more effectively. Creativity is at the heart of what we do, and seeing children grow into their potential is my greatest joy.”
