Motivation for Character Movement

There's always a reason behind every action, and motivation behind any movement...

1. Initiative to do small actions for subsequent movement
* excitement * interest * curiosity
2. Space: control -> territory (threat/invasion of personal space).
3. Discomfort: hide.
4. Personal: confidential -> away/close.
5. Private: withdrawal/rejection/own world.

Stopping (for beat transition) - emphasis on a moment:
- ending and stopping movement grab attention. it could be for the actor to ponder/think or a after-thought.
- stopping to shift gears -> change of emotions.
- justify the actions and motivations for movement.
