Getting Feedback & Giving Notes in Comedy Classes - Part 1

NOTE: There is now a full resource and downloadable Guides and Worksheets on giving and receiving notes in improv. Find the new resource page here: https://improvupdate.com/notesThis three-part series of episodes is about receiving notes as a neurodivergent improviser. This episode covers WHY getting notes is hard in improv, particularly when there is a communication gap between neurotypes (such as between an autistic and allistic humans, or when verbal processing disorder exists, and so on). There’s sometimes a communication gap because different neurotypes fundamentally communicate in different ways.So this series is specifically about notes given as feedback or advice or teaching after a scene or set is over.* Part 1 (episode 15) defines what the issue is, and WHY it's important to think about for improv students and teachers.* Part 2 (episode 16) is about what issues exist for students, and some tips for things students can try.* Part 3 (episode 17) is about what issues teachers need to know about, and some tips for things coaches/schools/directors can try.And encouraging a bit more patience and effort to make sure the communication is effective - so a note can be understood. Which is the entire point! We want the notes, teachers want us to take the notes... how can we get notes interpreted and used more frequently.Resources mentioned in episode* Neurodiversity & Improv Episode 13: Improv and being Misunderstood* Double Empathy Problem: Autism and the double empathy problem: Implications for development and mental health* Learning Theory - Learning Styles (Please share your resources, alternate theories, etc!)Downloadable contentDownload the Free Post-Show Reflection Guide: Sent to your inbox when you subscribe to either newsletter (and added to the footer to each message if you're already subscribed).NEW!
