“Diana Castle has had a profound influence on how I show up to every story. The Imagined Life approach has gifted me with the curiosity of a child, freedom of play, the insights to transform words into worlds, all while challenging me to widen my empathetic embrace. Thanks to Diana’s wisdom, I am rooted in a deeper sense of purpose as an artist and as a human being. I am forever grateful to her for the gift of The Imagined Life daily creative practice, instilling the discipline I need to always stand in my truth. Thank you Diana for making the studio a safe haven for myself and for others to be liberated and to grow past our creative limits. “
– Shannon Kane
Shannon has an incredible track record of bringing the stories of strong women to life. She was Natalie Fowler on ABC’s All My Children. She also recurred as Felicia Humphries in CBS’s Code Black, as well as Shanon Dixon on CW’s The Game.
But perhaps it has all led up to her most current role. Catch her on HULU’s Reasonable Doubt, executive produced by Kerry Washington, as the complex Shanelle Tucker. This riveting drama puts her at the center stage in a knock-down-drag-out fight to prove her innocence and secure her freedom.
Portraying a full dimensional human takes more than talent, it takes daily work. At The Imagined Life® you are given the philosophy and tools that allow you to embody every possible being. Shannon is a shining example of this powerful combination, for it has given her the ability to play women from all walks of life in a truthful and grounded way.
But even more astounding is her incredible frame of mind. Something that is carefully fostered through Diana’s weekly lectures. Thanks to her sage words, Shannon has formed the growth mindset needed to conquer absolutely anything the industry throws her way.
Actors are no strangers to rejection but to Shannon, it’s not a roadblock to her dreams. Of which she shares, “The projects that come my way, those are the ones that are for me. And you do have to have thick skin because of the rejection. But ultimately I don’t see it as rejection…I treat each of my auditions as opportunities to become even more sharpened in my craft and also even more emotionally available.”
Shannon’s confidence is undeniable. But it’s not just thanks to her stacked resume – her assurance is well rested on the strongest of foundations. The human foundation.
