Gestures everywhere! (22/1/2010)

About this session: This time we explored various gestures (e.g. snapping fingers, stroking the chin, hands on hips, arms crossed etc.) and their effects. The students had to answer questions like: How do you show that you are thinking? or How do you show that you don't want to see this person? We also discussed how to express certain emotions like anger, worry or relief with simple but effective gestures. Afterwards the students worked in pairs and prepared a short scene where one particular emotion was shown and decided on gestures that best illustrated that emotion.
