The Crown Troupe of Africa is a Dance-Theatre Company conceptualized on the 1st of June 1996 by a group of young persons who share a common belief in the viability of the arts as a tool for social re-engineering. The group is steeped in the art of creating new works that are relevant, thought provoking and empowering.

From inception, the company has been involved in various forms of artistic endeavours such as theatrical productions, workshops and seminars organized both locally and internationally. The award winning company has also managed to keep in line with their laid down aims and objectives of:

• Research.

• Documentation.

• Organizing and participating in art workshops and seminars.

• Composing and experimenting with various genres of the arts such as poetry, visual art, dance, drama, and music to create new works.

• Producing and performing new works that are thematically relevant and are socially responsive.

• Engaging in art exchange programmes with local and overseas art companies.

The Crown Troupe of Africa is famous for their dance-theatre creations and has often been commissioned to compose new works around a variety of socially relevant issues as well as to present their works at organized events. Their works have been selected for events such as International Dance Day, International Theatre Day, Refugee Day, AIDS day, Lagos Book and Art Festival and other similar events.

The Crown Troupe has several cultural and contemporary dances in their archives as well as their forte- thematically relevant dance-theatre creations.
