Welcome to part two of this three-part series of episodes about receiving notes as neurodivergent improvisers.

Getting notes can be hard for students, particularly when there is a communication gap between neurotypes. This episode lists five of the many reasons students might have challenges understanding “the note”, and some things students can try to make the process a little bit easier in sessions.

Neurodiversity and Improv

A podcast about learning and performing improv 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.
