Dear Lewis Dean
I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for, but I'm extremely interested in the way great dramatists write language to encourage actors to behave or hold or move their bodies in certain ways. Are there actual physiological effects on an actor connected with the sound values of the way a line is written as well as its semantic meaning? If so, do these effects get conveyed to audiences during performance? And if so, how does this happen?
I've done a certain amount of work on the evocation of emotions and feelings in Shakespeare's work, but would like to work with someone experimentally.
Do you think these questions might be of interest?
Best wishes

Subject: Public Engagement Grants from The Physiological Society
Dear all,
The Physiological Society is offering grants of up to £5000 to support public engagement. The grants, which are available to both Society members and non-members, are designed to fund innovative and creative projects on any aspect of physiology. We particularly encourage collaborations between science communicators, facilitators of public engagement, and our members.
The deadline for the next round of grants is 28 February 2013. For further information on the scheme please visit our website (http://www.physoc.org/public-engagement-grants) or email me. I am happy to help with any queries and put you in touch with interested physiologists.
Best wishes,
Lewis
