F-Bomb: Funny, Fearless, and Female
Hey sisters, let’s play big, risk gloriously and fail better! It’s time to bring the playground into your own home where all the props, toys, and costumes you often wish for in the studio are suddenly at your disposal. You’ll play in solos, duos, trios and with the entire ensemble. This class was workshopped and designed to be experienced virtually, so you must explain to housemates ahead of time that you will be noisy, move throughout the house and be free of inhibitions. It’s recess for grownups! A chance to play, get moving, let loose, be silly and make genuine connections with other fabulous females.
You know what happens when funny fearless females formulate?
Freedom.
Freedom from self-doubt.
Freedom from fear.
Freedom from depression.
Freedom from limitations.
Freedom from judgement.
Freedom from giving a f*ck.
Welcome to the playground… we’ll establish the rules, then you can break e’m!

Shannan made everyone feel as though they could do anything they wanted and always come out ahead by creating an amazingly supportive attitude where we all had each other’s back and the egos were in check.
