Unlocking Creativity: Juliet Jordaan and the Transformative Power of Musical Theatre at CrEd Pretoria & Midrand
In the vibrant heart of Pretoria and Midrand, a groundbreaking initiative is redefining the landscape of performing arts education for children. Spearheaded by the remarkable Juliet Jordaan, CrEd (Creative Education International) is setting the stage for an enriching experience that goes beyond mere performance. As the esteemed CrEd Head for Pretoria, Juliet has brought her wealth of knowledge and passion for the performing arts to the forefront, creating a unique journey of self-discovery through the Musical Theatre programme.
Juliet Jordaan holds a Licentiate Teacher’s Diploma in Speech and Drama from the prestigious Trinity College of Music in London, achieved in 1993. This impressive educational foundation, combined with her extensive experience, allows her to effectively foster creativity, communication, and confidence in the children she teaches. With a keen eye for nurturing talent, Juliet emphasises the role of drama not only as a form of artistic expression but also as a powerful tool for personal development.

The Benefits of Musical Theatre for Children
The impact of Musical Theatre on children extends far beyond the stage. Here are some of the key benefits children gain from participating in our CrEd programme:
1. Boosts Confidence: Performing in front of an audience cultivates self-esteem and confidence. Children learn to express themselves openly and overcome the fear of public speaking.
2. Enhances Communication Skills: Through dialogue, singing, and movement, children improve their verbal and non-verbal communication skills, which are critical in both their personal and academic lives.
3. Encourages Teamwork: Musical Theatre is inherently collaborative. Children learn the importance of teamwork and how to work towards a common goal, fostering camaraderie and friendship.
4. Stimulates Creativity: The freedom to express ideas and emotions through artistic exploration nurtures creativity, which is essential in every field of study and work.
5. Develops Critical Thinking: The dynamic nature of performance art compels children to think on their feet, make quick decisions, and solve problems creatively.
