Gesture Analyst Prints

New Umpire Signals

Step into my office. We need to talk. About what? Does it matter? We need to talk is never good. We need to talk is a harmless phrase that isn't necessarily ominous. Well … ok, coming in. Collar grabbing is also a much-maligned gesture, don't you think? D'oh!

'The usual ‘nod, nod, wink, wink' will do, Walter. We don't need the eyebrow twitch and nostril flares.'

A mime and his pet parrot talk to one another.

"I'm fascinated by body language."

Say it with flowers - available in any language.

"You're overthinking it. Sometimes a belly rub is just a belly rub."

-"What has this got to do with communication?" -"It's my invention...the hand smiley."

Is it a book? A film? A TV show? How do you mime a podcast?

Body Language - "Guess why I'm annoyed."

These young people need everything spelled out to them! I miss the old days, when a wink was a wink, and a nod was a nod.

'Bob likes to express himself through his art!'

'You know...that ain't a good sign.'

"My conclusion that he lied was based on his body language, his polygraph results, and the complete implausibility of his story."

Irony: Then and Now

"Your body language says you've lost interest."

"Dave, the company has decided to let you back inside on one condition: While speaking, you must never, EVER do that ironic, 'in-quotes' twitchy thing with your fingers again. Take it or leave it."

"I’ll give you my answer in ... just ... one ... minute."

"I see you like to let your actions do the talking."

A mime visits a psychiatrist.

When mimes make an appointment...

'Mum, my teacher said I had good physical attributes for speaking Italian...'

A conductor reads from a picture book.

A conductor practising in front of a mirror.

My husband just insisted on coming in and buying me a big bouquet of flowers!'

'You don't know why you're down here?... Aren't you the guy that invented the high five in sports?'

"Something’s wrong. I can tell by the way you’re being nice to me."

A Wrecked-angle.

Third base coaches during a brawl.

"Oh George, I wish you'd get things in perspective. . .!"

Tonight's Talk Out Topic is non-verbal communication

'What a nice gesture from the principal. If only he could do that in person.'

Mime artist reading: 'Thinking Outside the Invisible Box.'

"Very effective talk on the power of non-verbal communication."

"People...do you FINALLY understand the concept of 'Visual Narrative?'"
