Biography:
Shannon has been creating, producing and performing for over fifteen years. She trained as an actor, comedian, mime and stunt performer at the University of Winnipeg, where she received her BA Honours in Theatre & Film. On stage, she is most recognized for her work with the three-time Canadian Comedy Award nominated sketch troupe Hot Thespian Action, which she founded in 2006. Off the stage, Shannon has appeared in over thirty film & TV productions, both as an actor and as a stunt performer, because, why not have your cake, eat it and pretend to choke on it while falling down some stairs…too?! In 2012, she developed a mime program for the Deaf community of Manitoba, which led her to establish the internationally recognized Deaf mime troupe 100 Decibels. In spring of 2021, Shannon co-created and performed in Plé, the first-ever trilingual children’s theatre show (performed in ASL, English & French simultaneously).
In 2019 Shannon created her biggest masterpiece to date, a tiny cuteness factory she calls ‘Beckett’ who matches her in energy and happily receives her daily performances ever since.Courses:
