• facial expressions are used to convey emotions and feelings to others and to communicate with others
• body language is the non-verbal communication of emotions or thoughts through the movement of body parts; gait, posture, and gestures are examples of different forms of body language

• proxemics: the branch of knowledge that deals with the amount of space that people feel it necessary to set between themselves and others.
• stance: the way in which someone stands, especially when deliberately adopted (as in cricket, golf, and other sports); a person's posture
• stillness: the absence of movement or sound (through meaningful pauses or as an, overall, lack of movement)
• speed: the pace at which someone moves- important for conveying a situation, emotion or character. e.g. if a character was late, they would be moving with haste
• size of movement: the larger the movement, the more energy is needed to move the body part (e.g. used in melodrama to exaggerate emotions)
• spatial awareness: helps an actor move efficiently and effectively on stage knowing the whereabouts of other actors, sets, props, the limits of the stage and lighting as well as maintaining their movements within the same proportion of the stage even when the size of the stage changes
• eye contact is a form of nonverbal communication that is used to establish a connection with others
