What people have said about CED:
“If you are unsure about giving drama a go I highly recommend Sioux’s classes. I am naturally a shy and quiet person and she gave me the keys to unlock my ability to express myself more confidently in work and social situations. I was not having a lot of luck in job interviews and with Sioux’s mentoring, I was able to become more assertive, creative and Yay! I got a job. The classes are high energy, astounding and full of humour. ”
Judy M.
“I very much enjoyed the classes I did with Sioux Smith. I gained insight into some valuable skills around presentations that I have already greatly benefitted from in business. ”
