Transcript

Very excited about this ep! This week I am joined by Sabrina Banes, an improviser who has a condition called misophonia.

Sabrina Banes is an improviser and Tarot reader who lives in Brooklyn with her two cats, Shumai and Althea. She currently performs with her longform indie teams, Jace Spam and Dolly Lana, and with her Improv College narrative house team, Oops! We Fell In Love. Find Sabrina online: Instagram and Linktree.

In this episode we discuss what misophonia is like to experience, how it affects scene work and classes, and how to find your voice when you need to seek access needs and accommodate yourself. Sabrina has great advice to offer in this episode.

Discussion about this podcast

Neurodivergent Minds in Comedy

A podcast about learning and performing comedy as, or with, neurodivergent performers. Episodes are about how being neurodivergent affects scenework and sets, acting and performance, teaching and coaching, teams, and learning (being a neurodivergent improv student).

If you are a neurodivergent actor, comedian, or performer, this podcast might be useful to you too.

Episodes are not for diagnosing, making excuses, or therapy. They are for discussing, learning, and being inclusive in your practice.

Hosted by Jen deHaan, an AuDHD improviser. Produced by and for StereoForest.com.
