On Misophonia & Improv with Sabrina Banes - Ep #5
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.

Neuroinclusive Improv and Comedy
Neurodiversity means all types of brain wiring. Neurodivergent means less statistically common types of brain wiring. All of these brain types (neurotypes) do improv and comedy together. We try to learn it, make teams function, and perform. But misunderstandings occur.
These videos are about the many different types of brains that exist in the comedy and improv space. The topics are relevant to comedy, improv, acting, and performance. This podcast is not just for neurodivergent performers - it's for all performers. We can be better if we try to understand each other and this means we can do better work together, learn better, and function on teams with more success.
Episodes are not for diagnosing, making excuses, or therapy. They are for discussing, learning, and being inclusive in your acting, comedy and/or improv practice!
