Siân loves to help other people’s ideas onto the page, screen or stage in group workshops. Whether you’re a professional writer looking to upskill and explore new mediums or a business wanting to bring more creativity into your team, Siân can support you in a fun, group session tailored to your needs.

Workshops can be adapted to your organisation’s goals and for a range of ages and experience. Current packages include: 

Siân’s comedy writing workshops have been hosted in the UK by Wakefield Literary Festival, Buxton Youth Theatre Digital Festival, and York Labour Party Women’s Forum, and internationally by Whitman College (USA) and English Youth Theatre Brussels (Belgium). She has previously been commissioned by Arts & Humanities Research Council to design comedy workshops to engage young LGBTQ+ people with climate activism.

"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!”
Arlene Caffrey, Writer & Pole Dance Artist

“I teach art classes at a small rural college, and brought Sian to class virtually since we’re so hard to get to! Even (and maybe especially!) in the online format, Sian energized my students and made them feel empowered to do something that most of them were really nervous and unsure about—writing stand-up. In our art class, students were asked to make comedic performances about climate issues, so they did a Zoom-based show that Sian MC’d, and it was amazing what they came up with after Sian’s training. The workshop itself was fun, challenging, and helped my students build community, and they’ve referred back to the ideas they learned in classes since. Sian was an amazing teacher and showed genuine interest and care for the students and the topics they were excited about, so the whole experience felt great.”
