cre8 is a dance and drama group for 8 - 15 year olds. Members are drawn from churches of several different denominations in the Colchester area. The aim of the group is to enable young people to develop their creative skills in a Christian context.

The group has taken part in services in several churches in Colchester and further afield. The team has travelled to Bristol, Birmingham, Luton, London and Scotland, leading workshop weekends in which the Colchester team combine with youngsters from local churches.

cre8 has also taken part in most of Cantus Firmus’s special services and events, most recently in the Good Friday production Treasures of Darkness at Colchester’s Mercury Theatre.

cre8 is directed by Paula Stubbs, a member of Orchard Baptist Church, with many years’ experience in drama and dance production.
