Gesture and Proxemics in Performance

Gesture and Proxemics in Performance

A performer's use of physical skills, including gesture and proxemics, is fundamental to how they interpret and convey the message of a text. These non-verbal cues are crucial for communicating with the audience, often more powerfully than spoken words alone. Non-verbal communication, including gestures and spatial relationships, accounts for a significant portion of human interaction, estimated to be between 70-93% of all communication.
