Finding Her Courage

TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY (with Shannon)


Listen Later

Ever since she was little, Shannon had energy she had to get out. We discuss her background and the transition from dance & theater to stunts. A spark was lit. (Literally) Not having the experience, she was eager to learn on the spot if given the opportunity. From there, she learned what makes her valuable and continued to push her limits. We go into the training involved for stunts in TV and film - including the CW's Stargirl and one of the biggest shows on Netflix - Stranger Things. 

The Upijata Arts Company is something she started to empower the youth. Through her own experiences, Shannon has been able to express and heal her past traumas through dance and other arts. Through experiencing sexual assault and suicidal thoughts, Shannon knows how important the arts can be to those who need it the most. For more information, please visit:
