Ooh, I really like this. Taking a look at gestures and dialogue and having to justify it not only forces an economy and purpose to your characters' actions but makes for a better-told story. Can't have the actors distracting us with props and all that. And it might be a clue to their character that they can't stand in a room without fidgeting or leaning against something, or it can be a huge tell as to what they're actually thinking as opposed to what they say they are. Many thanks.
