"From the start of our correspondence to book our Wakefield LitFest Comedy Writing Workshop Sian was clear and positive in what could be achieved. The workshop itself 'How to write your first 5 minutes of stand up' was truly inspirational - Sian encouraged the participants to create material and enabled them to believe in their ability to perform it. The workshop was a perfect mix of laughter, confidence building and productivity. The quick rapport she built with the participants was brilliant and everyone left feeling inspired."
Sarah Osborne, Director, Wakefield Literary Festival

“I feel excited to write again after taking Siân's workshop 'Writing Autobiographically’. Siân's workshop was fast-paced yet casual, full of knowledge and nuggets of expertise that comes from first-hand experience in writing professionally. It was fun to learn and write in an atmosphere that felt truly non- judgemental, joyful and creative, free from rigid rules about writing and creativity. I have come away from the workshop with some great prompts and resources, as well as some new ideas about my own writing that I'm excited about!”

Comedy Pole Dancing

With support from Arts Council England, Siân designed a workshop for pole dancers interested in exploring comedy techniques: how to get past fear of failure, how to connect with an audience, and bring silliness and experimentation into performances. Siân’s pole dancing workshop was co-created with multi-award winning comedian and Gaulier-trained clown Elf Lyons, and can be adapted to all levels of ability.
