Introduction to Season 2

Welcome back, improvisers! Season 2 of the Neurodiversity and Improv podcast is coming your way. Every two weeks you can expect a new episode about the intersection of neurotypes and learning/performing improv.

We’ll be starting with a three part series on getting Notes as a neurodivergent improviser. This is a very common request from improvisers I’ve spoken with regarding this podcast. And the first three episodes of the new season will be all about this topic.

Note: You can find the full transcript for any episode at the top of the episode’s web page.

Note

This podcast has been renamed a couple times to best fit what it needed to become, and better reflect what it eventually became! It's not gone, I am figuring out what is sustainable and most needed by myself and the community.

I mention surveys and written versions in earlier episodes. I am moving this content to ImprovUpdate.com on a new being-developed website. You can always send me any comments, thoughts, feedback, or contributions using the contact form on this page.

Greetings and salutations.

::

Welcome to season two of the Neurodiversity and Improv Podcast.

::

I'm Janda Hahn, and I'm a Neurodivergent Improvisor who likes, evidently, to info dump all over you about the intersection of improv and neurodivergence.

::

These episodes are intended to help all improvisers of all neuro types.

::

You have one, it covers yours as well.

::

Since we're all on teams and in classes and performing together.

::

So for this season, season two, I have some goals.

::

I want to make sure to cover both the useful and the challenging parts of neurodivergence when learning and performing.

::

And of course, I'll add in some ideas of things to try when adjustments need to be made.

::

These episodes will cover the various aspects of working together on projects and in scenes and in classes.

::

And as always, I'm a sample size of one.

::

So I'm going to be releasing regular surveys this season to hear your experiences as well.

::

If you have something you'd like to add to this series.

::

Through these surveys, you will inform the show and improvisers listening to it.

::

You can opt to be quoted directly.

::

Or you can have your input worked into the content.

::

And you can choose how you'd like to be credited.

::

Or if you'd like to remain anonymous.

::

So I'll start with one of those surveys today, which you'll be able to find in the show notes description and the newsletter if you access this podcast from the website.

::

And on that note, the podcast now has a new domain at neurodiversityimprov.com, which I hope will be a little bit easier to remember and spell than the old one.

::

So season two, welcome.

::

The first three episodes will be on getting and giving notes in practice sessions, classes and rehearsals.

::

Yes, three full episodes on that one topic.

::

This was a requested and very challenging topic to cover.

::

So that's what our survey topic is for this week.

::

And I plan to do an episode later in the season, because these first three episodes are already finished, or maybe next season, whatever.

::

Depends on what y'all share.

::

Episodes will come at you every second week, and afterwards, I will provide written articles.

::

I also now have a supporter channel, if you'd like to support the website and this podcast, and you will get some extra resources if you become a supporter.

::

So thanks so much for being here.

::

I'm really excited to get back to this podcast and talking about Neurodivergence and Neurodiversity, and I look forward to hearing from you throughout the season.

::

So here we go, season two coming on up.

::

Talk at you later, improvisers.

::

Let's keep it weird.
