Robert Price is a voice teacher, director, and level five advanced clinical massage therapist specialising in the voice and jaw. He trained in voice studies at the Central School of Speech and Drama before teaching and directing in many drama schools and currently serves voice users at his Vocal Massage London and at the Voice Care Centre. Robert teaches vocal massage to other teachers, osteopaths, physiotherapists, and SLTs, and he's here to help us understand how we can perform massage on ourselves and guide our clients in self-massage in the studio. KEY TAKEAWAYS Robert finds massage beneficial for stress and anxiety. He discusses how vocal massage helps shift from a sympathetic to a parasympathetic state, calming the nervous system and fostering connection. Individuals should listen to their bodies and engage in self-massage with care, avoiding extremes and focusing on gentle, thoughtful touch. Robert also recommends seeking professional training for those interested in pursuing vocal massage as a practice. Robert's vocal massage techniques for stress management include gently mobilising the larynx, performing anterior neck stretches, massaging the submental region, encouraging thoughtful self-touch, using a holistic approach with whole-body techniques like Qigong, and ensuring consent-based touch. These methods promote relaxation, improve mobility, and reduce tension in the vocal area. Example Daily Routine. Morning: Start your day with a few minutes of gentle neck stretches and submental massages. Afternoon Break: Take a short break to practise deep breathing and light self-massage on your neck and shoulders. Evening: End your day with a more extended self-massage session, focusing on the entire neck and throat area, and incorporating whole-body stretches. BEST MOMENTS  "The fundamental value of massage is to move people from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state." "The benefits of vocal massage are subjective. It usually helps people, but quite what's happening within that is about the person." "Consent and safety are at the heart of manual therapy. The person should have agency over the touch and feel comfortable throughout the session."

In this episode Robert discusses the Meisner Technique its practise and place in the British Drama School with Dr Philippa Strandberg-Long.Philippa  has published several excellent papers on the Meisner technique : Mapping Meisner – how Stanislavski's system influenced Meisner's process and why it matters to British Drama School training today  and The reaction in counter-action: how Meisner technique and active analysis complement each other.  Which can be found here : https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/20567790.2018.1437956https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20567790.2019.1576114Philippa Strandberg-Long is an acting teacher, director and researcher, originally from Stockholm, Sweden. In 1998 she moved to London to undertake the BA Acting programme at Italia Conti Academy before going on to gain experience as both an actor and director within London's theatre world. In 2008 she decided to focus on the training process itself, and has since taught Stanislavski-based acting and scene study – as well as directed productions – at many of London's drama schools. In 2011 Philippa began her service in the Italia Conti faculty, which she continued for nearly a decade. During her time at Italia Conti she co-created their Foundation course programme, whilst undertaking practical research on the Meisner technique, devising and developing a number of her own exercises along with a pedagogical foundation to underpin the technique. Philippa received her MA in Actor Training from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2012, specialising in the teaching of the Meisner technique. In 2016 Philippa was awarded a full 3-year PhD scholarship from the University of Kent to study the Meisner technique and the psychology of attention. During this time, she combined her research activities with teaching and directing, allowing her to see the practical effects of her studies and providing valuable empirical data for her research. Philippa's doctorate was awarded in early 2020, and her research has significantly furthered our understanding of the Meisner technique and its interplay with attention, self-consciousness, action-perception theory and mind-wandering. Her articles have been published in the UK, Europe and the US, and some of them in association with practitioners such as the late William Esper and the renowned Stanislavski scholar Sharon Carnicke. In 2019 and 2020 Philippa was the Course Leader and Head of Acting of Fourth Monkey's two-year actor training programme – a programme underpinned by the ethos of Meisner's principles and the concept of ‘play'. She continues to develop both her research profile and her studio practice, always putting the individual's creative potential in focus. She is currently lead acting tutor on Rose Bruford's MA in Actor and Performance Training.  Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=EKHEKXBAZBQG6¤cy_code=GBP)

Bart studied theatre design at Rose Bruford whilst selling vintage clothing to support his education.  He first became aware of Angels during this time and realised that he could make a career by combining his love of men’s clothing and storytelling, leading him to apply for a trainee position.Over a six-year period he learnt all there was to know about being an in-house costumier as well as a deep understanding of the history of men’s clothing.  During this time he also had the advantage of working with the best costume teams around, thereby forging good contacts and links with the freelance industry.When he left Angels, he spent 11 years working alongside a wide variety of designers and their teams on productions including:Atonement; The Theory of Everything; One Day; RocknRolla; Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Night Manager.Three years ago, he began to work on his own projects as costume designer.  He has designed two feature films Churchill and My Name is Lenny and TV work including the BBC/Netflix eight-part series Black Earth Rising and the aforementioned White Lines.https://bartholomewcariss.com/https://www.angelsbehindtheseams.com/
