Shannon Kurlander

Actor Writer Director

Hi I'm Shannon Kurlander (she/her), 20-30s playing age female queer American actor based in London. I graduated in the Fall of 2022 from East 15 Acting School with a Master's in Acting. I recently premiered my debut solo self-written play 'Visiting Hours' at The Koppel Project Hive art gallery in Central London and am currently developing a new piece for 2023.

I'm particularly interested in multi-discipline storytelling and collaboration. I want to create and be a part of compelling stories that go beyond the traditional structures of theatre and film.
