SUMMARY:Fairfield’s Egan School Offers Healthcare Method Acting Workshop
LOCATION:
DESCRIPTION: The three-day immersive acting program will train community members in the role of standardized patients at the University’s state-of-the-art healthcare simulation center. Fairfield University’s Marion Peckham Egan School of Nursing and Health Studies is holding a three-day immersive acting program. The workshop will train community members to play the roles of standardized patients. Standardized patients are a key component of Egan School curricula at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Standardized patient actors learn to portray patients with a variety of healthcare needs and to interact with students to help them develop their skills as healthcare providers. The workshop will be held from Friday, September 19 through Sunday, September 21 and is free and open to the public. Upon completion of the free three-day workshop, simulation actors are eligible to earn $20/hour. Each day of the workshop, participants will layer acting methods in improvisation with empathy-building experiences to allow them to immerse themselves in the role of a patient. Participants will need to attend all three days of the program. The Simulation Center is accredited in teaching and education through the Society for Simulation in Healthcare. The workshop will be taught by Michael Cicirelli ’11, APRN, and Tom Schwans, MFA, an adjunct professor in the Visual & Performing Arts Department at Fairfield University. Registration and background check required.
