Matthew Sparacino and returning guest & ‘Feedback Godfather’ Tom Wyatt help us out with something new and experimental (ooh) in this week’s episode where we conduct a Feedback Workshop. Through a roleplay SP Encounter and Student/SP feedback sessions with Matt & Katie, Tom helps us workshop SP feedback skills from beginner to advanced. We discuss why getting feedback correct is important in an education roleplay setting, and the value of doing it effectively and correctly. Tom Wyatt has worked professionally as an actor since age 16, and a director / choreographer since college, his skill set transitioned happily into performing and training SP's working with medical students on their interpersonal skills. For the past 25 years, his life has been a joyous combination of working in the theatre, and also being a fixture in the several local Medical School SP programs.
Matthew Sparacino (he/him) is an actor, theatre artist, writer, and educator with over a decade of experience across a broad spectrum of disciplines. A DMV native and lifelong resident, he has performed onstage in dozens of productions, including world premieres, devised works, puppet shows, silent pieces, classics and contemporary plays. Matt has also worked for many years as a teaching associate and standardized patient at several of the area’s top medical schools, where he coaches students on communication, interpersonal skills, bedside manner and physical diagnosis. www.matthewsparacino.com
Matt will be performing in ‘Iphigenia’, a modern adaptation of the Greek myth written by our good SP friend Kerry McGee and produced by We Happy Few. The show is running at CHAW from May 24-June 17.
