“The workshop was genuinely fun, and I loved your way of interactive and encouraging way of teaching. It allowed me to think outside the box and evaluate the things I value most and consider home. The aspects of performance incorporated into the workshop went beyond the 'writing' part of Creative Writing and rendered it more practical in ways I'd never even considered. This workshop was one which I will remember for a long time to come.”

“A standout performance by Lisette, culminating in a standing ovation, recalibrated the idea that interactive spoken-word and talk-singing — her judicious use of video and dance as adjuncts to her narration were highlights — were popular only among a younger generation. The full house that night applauded wildly as Lisette took the audience on a metaphorical journey that paralleled hers: childhood migration from St Lucia to the UK, a nostalgic return as an adult to the Caribbean and to her island, and the resultant culture shock of those encounters were themes explored in distinctive oration…It worked well with the fine neo-soul vibe and the moving Caribbean rhythms of reggae, zouk and Dennery Segment.”

"Working with Curmiah on this production was one of the easiest things I’ve done to date. Curmiah ensured that the process was thorough and seamless from conception to completion. The consultation and planning was my favourite, as just by sharing a few key details of myself, my home and experience, in the vastness of her vision and expertise she was able to ideate and provide a dynamic brief in a short space of time. I highly commend her for her hands on approach, overall management and organisation of the team and requirements for this production."

"I enjoyed meeting and interacting with other creatives. I was worried that being older I might feel out of place but I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction."

"When I approached Curmiah to collaborate with my brand I knew she would be the perfect fit, as her passion for her craft sets her apart. From her ability to conceptualise my product advert to brining it to life with her rich story telling I was extremely impressed. I won’t think twice about working with Curmiah in the future."
