About the expressive body (2)

"... the observation and understanding of what goes on at non verbal level becomes vital: a hand that trembles when reading a speach, a leg that moves continously during an interview, a stiff body posture or an unfocused gaze, become powerful indicators, as much as the verbal discourse with  wich movement creates a chain of meanings"
