Psch gesture

Found these Sketches in Michael's Book On the Technique of Acting. These
are sketches of Psychological Gestures. Michael explains the psychology
that influences them.

Drawing 1 "strong unbending will" with "dominating despotic desires" and "
filled with hatred and disgust"

Drawing 2 "Fiery will" " open to influence from above and is obsessed by
the desire to recieve and even to force these "inspirations from these
influences. It is filled with mystical qualities but at the same time
stands firmly on the ground and receives equally strong influences from
the earthly world.

Drawing 3 "entirely introspective" "It might enjoy its loneliness" "no
desire to come in contact with either the world above or below"

Drawing 4 "imagine a character entirely attached to an earthly kind of
life. Its powerful and egotistical will is constantly drawn downward. All
its passionate wishes and lusts are stamped with low base qualities.
Mistrust suspicion and blame fill its whole limited and introverted life.

Drawing 5 "You might see the strength of this particular character is in
its protesting, negative will. Its main quality may seem to you to be
suffering, perhaps with the nuance of anger or indignation. On the other
hand a cerian weakness permeates its form.

Drawing 6 "weak type" "Unable to protest and fight his way through life;
highly sensitive, inclined to self pity, with a strong desire to
complaints."

Drawing 7 Is a starting point for an exercise Chekhov wish the actor to
try. Start from the image provided and say the sentence "I wish to be left
alone." See how the gesture morphs. How does the change in position affect
your thinking
