| The Neurodivergent Pull of Theatre | 22 Jun 2026 | 01:05:08 | |
In the inaugural episode of Theatrically Authentic, hosts Sarah Atherton-Knight and Simon Scott explore why theatre feels so magnetic to neurodivergent people — both onstage and backstage. From “performance brains” and “technical brains” to masking, hyperfocus, burnout, and the emotional intensity of live performance, this episode unpacks the unique relationship between neurodivergence and the theatre industry. Sarah and Simon share their own journeys into theatre, discuss how working in the industry shaped their understanding of themselves, and reflect on the strange balance theatre creates between regulation and overwhelm. Featuring discussions of Hamilton, Shakespeare performance, backstage life, and the emotional reality of making art collaboratively, this episode sets the stage for the rest of the series. 📢 Subscribe now to hear future episodes. 🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com 🌐 Learn more about the network at AutisticCulturePodcastNetwork.com Hosted on Acast.
