Whether seated or standing you can maximize the power of Gesture to support meaning. Implement a practice of purposefully positioning your Base and noting the effects on Counterbalance as you gesture. By setting up your Base to directly manifest a particular type of Gesture, you increase your ability to use Gesture as a natural containment or extension of your energy or expression, and you harness the unique Base to Gesture Relationship as a strategic communication management tool.Â
Setting up your Base is the first step in influencing gestures to express the type of extension or containment that supports your intentions.Â
